Maybe construction and tourism

Anyway, I guess the US had been hit so hard, things can only go up, no matter who is in power.

The GOP running the House will prevent any more "spending" bills which is good news for a debt ridden country who is trying to recover.

Unemployemnt is going down because his spending has been stopped and there is more confidence.But .2% can change overnight with the world instablitiy we are seeing now.But the buisinesses see thqat there is more cuts coming besides the 43 billio tot he budget proposed by Obama has the debt ceilig is next on the politcal agenda.Basically lowering governemnt spending thus lowering future liabilty out los increases confidence on the bottomline. That allows more emploeymnt and people hunkered down spend more.Just stoppig the tax increase by keep the Bush cuts did alot as mentioned.Just rememeber that when cost incrase from taxes the copanies cut the bottomline 70% of which is labor and people spend less to cut their bottomline.

I don't think clients willing to buy stuff and thus creating work for others care much about the country's debt.

Are the Effects of Unemployment About To Shoot Through the Roof? Do you really belive the lie that is the published unemployment number? As of Nov of 2010 the unemployment pay out rate corresponds to a historic unemployment rate of over 17% They were claiming 9.8%. We are having great depression unemployment rates and no one cares.

When oil is at $200/barrel and gas costs $7/gallon we will see how many jobs the economy adds (or loses). The crash is coming and it will be spectacular.

Bless us Oh Lord and these they gifts that we are about to receive from Obama.....amen!

Who can deny he earned the nobel peace prize, now he is up for a 'transparency award' probably because he says in every speech, 'let me be clear'.

He has been declared a great orator as a media ploy. His honors are many and contrived.

The current president has been ineffectual and destructive to the economy that clings to life, based on its historical momentum, even in the face of planned incompetence. Adding government jobs or temp jobs at astronomical cost per head is known as creative statistics and finances, idiocy or harmful intent.

Would my president stand by when legislators told me, "we have to pass it to see what's in it". I think not.

Obama is the donkey in a pin the tail on the donkey game. the tail in this case constitutes any insignificant praise bolstered by partisan fantasy and trumpeted by the media propagandists.

Asserting a cause and effect relationship to Obama and an almost inperceptible improving job market is sheer fantasy.

The celebration of under achieving by Obama boosters has been lost on the nation.

Obviously, if this trend continues, Obama is a shoe-in for victory in 2012.

Haters be damned.

I'm sure you'll be right along to thank the GOP for bailing out Obama...
