Don't worry, a Bush apologist will be here any minute to tell you how this is great news and that a weak dollar is also a good thing.

In Today's News!

The Pentagon has advised Bush to avoid troop reductions in Iraq. There are jobs for Americans but it involves military training. It’s a crime that our troops have to spend so many tours of duty there and not come home. It’s also strange that it wasn’t that long ago Bush and the administration was telling the nation how well things were going over there for our troops. So what’s the story or the truth,,,, is the war going well or not? You just don’t get an answer that sticks with this administration.

Yes, we need change. 2 years of the Democrats controlling congress is far to long. I cant name a single positive thing that we have seen since they have taken over. NOT ONE!!

Most people would agree Obama has a more socialist style of economics. (he wants US to be more like Europe, where they operate on half socialst half capitalist system)

We'll how are those types of countries faring?

France Unemployment 7.6%
Germany's unemployment rate fell below 8 percent in May for the first time since 1992

Same thing here. Hell, even fast food places like Wendy's and BK are offering $300-$500 signing bonuses because there is a sever lack of workers.
