Obama’s proclamation that he had “broken the back of the recession” will inspire howls of disbelief and ridicule throughout the nation. With 9 percent-plus unemployment, how can a president say these words with a straight face?

Maybe because unemployment and recession are not one and the same? Duh... ... You know and I know that by all objective measures the recession is over. Obama wouldn't be the first to preside over a jobless recovery. Non-starter thread.

And if you still have people not working, they will still vote the president out. Those 9%+ aren't suddenly gonna love Obama if they didn't get their jobs back.

Polls are showing otherwise.

I thought it was his super death ray stare. My only question was what happened to his cape?

His actions have proved his limit on any business knowledge
the best thing Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) could do for America is submit his resignation as the "Hope & Change" of Presidential on the job training is not really working out that well !

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

And howls of joy, I'd imagine. I'm howling right now. Not because of his speech. It's just something I do, from time to time.

Neither are the additional 10% who have long since stopped looking for employment.

Can you name a president who won a second term with unemployment over 7.4%?
