Get ready for another quarter million and up unemployed americans. I doubt the pumpkin picking business will be able to absorb that many this or more seasons, nor open enough wal marts by 2015.

Wonder if the nation's August jobs report on unemplyment rates, due out the first Friday in September, will include the 3500 Bank of America employees getting fired, as announced last week?

"...external factors such as the Japan tsunami, the European debt crisis and rising gas prices caused by the unrest in North Africa and the Middle East have been an impediment to job growth."

nobama made this statement to Woof Blitzer last Tuesday. Our nation's rising gas prices are caused by unrest elsewhere in the world? And, I can see job **growth** maybe be affected by these things....but what about the rising unemployment from the jobs being eliminated? What *internal* factors are affecting that, mr. wizard?

A prolific politician would make his way through just about any volly of questions where it's easy to blame the other guys. I bet we both could answer these questions without blinking once. But come nov. 2012 we will have a chance to respond ourselves.
