Ok I'm not a fan of Obama at all but at least back up your claim with a news story or something.

The real unemployment is closer to 1.6 out of 10 which is closer to 1 out of 5 than 1 out of 10.

There is already a 9-page thread on this on page one. Green cards are typically issued to spouses and children of US citizens and to workers who are already legally working in the US under a visa. There is nothing particularly unusual about the number issued. Please try not to panic.

The left will not use the real numbers. They always go with the number that looks better to them.

The real unemployment number is what has effected us all, not the one Obama is forcing them to make up.

Remember Obama had them change the way they calculate the number and still cannot get it down.

What happened "I will create 5 million new jobs"?

Guess he meant create them for illegals.

Obama is now down 9 million jobs and counting.

We are headed to yet another Obama record of foreclosures and bankruptcies and this fool is issuing a free pass to everyone who wants to cross the border.

Guess I was correct in thinking he wants to destroy America financially.

If unemployment of Americans is a non-problem as you claim, then why do the politicians keep giving extension after extension of unemployment handouts?

It sounds like Obama has created the 5 million new jobs as he promised but he didn't create them for Americans.

Well over a million "legal" immigrants but Obama is also encouraging millions more illegals to get over the border, promising them a quick amnesty, easy US citizenship with all the financial benefits of having that, family reuification so they can bring in whatever relatives they want to bring in.

Face it - Obama is nothing but a globalist puppet of the cheap labor corporations. He cares nothing for the people of this country.

Actually the "real" numbers show close to 25% unemployment. 9.7% are just those filing for unemployment. How about those that have long used up their unemployment benefits and those that never qualify for unemployment, like me, who is self employed subcontractor. I'm really an employee but my employer labels me as subcontract so he has less overhead and he doesn't have to pay for my unemployment if he decides he doesn't need me any longer.
