But the economy is improving. This would be a perfect time to showcase just how great the $787 billion stimulus worked. Either way, i'm still glad to see 500 new jobs created even if they're temporary ones. Every little bit of extra income helps especially when it doesn't involve my tax dollars going towards it:

I hope the AC is on where these people are waiting. No doubt 500 new jobs are good but that isn't going to put much of a dent in the unemployed rates.

That IS the BMW job fair - it's being held at Greenville's One Stop office, and the lines were described by the news reporter I watched as people attending the job fair. BTW - one reason there are so many seeking those jobs is that jobs at BMW (even if not directly employed by BMW) are among the most sough-after in the entire Upstate. I'm sure many in line there and others applying for jobs there are already employed elsewhere.

What experiences in Obama's background would make you think he could handle these problems?

Ummm...the BMW job fair was held at the Greenville Unemployment Office. That's why the line was so long there today.

Today on the radio, I heard a man interviewed at the job fair whom had just moved to the Upstate from Columbia and is hoping to land a job at BMW. He was unemployed in the Midlands for six months. I wish everyone in his situation the best.
