Earlier this morning I was listening to a syndicated morning news program and heard a teaser...presidential candidate says the unemployed aren't trying hard enough, find out who in the next segment.
The radio station didn't carry the next segment - they switched to a morning drive time talk show - so I went to Google and searched for "says unemployed" and came up with this:

Have you been wondering why you can’t get ahead? Have you been questioning why American families with two adults working full time are now making only as much financial income as American families with a single adult worker were making a generation ago? Maybe you’re unemployed, and you’re wondering why, with 30 other people applying for the same job as you, you’re never the one who’s picked.
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has the answer for you: You’re just not reaching for success hard enough. Also, you hate the American Dream, you loser.
Well Ron Paul, who no one would confuse with a socialist, would disagree:
I think Cain made a fine statement- hard to say, but fair. Nobody touches it, but I know unemployed people who are comfortable enough receiving unemployment benefits and/or are too good to be underemployed. This is a rally call, people need to be less sensitive..
Oh, yeah..it is SO MUCH FUN being broke and not being able to afford NECESSITIES like food, medication, and shelter. Yeah...sounds great. Geee I enjoyed unemployment so much that about a month and a half ago, I tried to slit my wrists.
I take it Herman Cain thinks Obama is doing a great job since the economy is the fault of lazy Americans.
Oh come on. Anyone that was talking about what is
happening today, and warning about it over the last
30 years ago either has wisdom, or they are Nostradamus.
Either way, I'd want them on my side.
