10.2% unemployment? Don’t blame Obama. Clearly, this is Bush’s fault.

Unemployment hits 10.2 percent:

Democrats – headed into an historic health care vote this weekend — got smacked in the face with a 10.2 percent unemployment rate in October, the government reported Friday.

The 10.2 percent figure is well above the 9.9 percent that economists expected and breaks the psychological barrier of 10 percent, breaking double digits for the first time in 26 years. It’s the last headline the Obama administration wanted to see going into the House healthcare vote.

In all, employers shed 190,000 non-farm jobs last month.

I thought Obama said we had to pass the stimulus bill in order to prevent this from happening? At what point are we allowed to say that the stimulus clearly failed if that was its intended goal? The White House is talking about the jobs it has saved, while counting jobs for which people were given raises. Can’t wait to see how the cult of Obama spins this one. I know, it’s not Obama’s fault. He inhereted this. And, nothing he has done in the past nine months could possibly have exacerbated the problem. He is THE ONE, dontcha know?

I guess it’s a good thing Congress voted to extend those welfareunemployment benefits. Clearly, we’re going to have a lot more people dependent on government in order to pay their bills. I wonder which party will benefit the most from that. Hmmm. That’s a hard one.

I wish we could go back to the days when hard work and dedication were the American way. Ah, the good old days. Wish I had been alive to see them.
