Obama’s Economic Policies Aren’t Working

The esteemed folks at MSNBC were trying to spin the May unemployment numbers before they even came out, saying that the economy was getting better. Well, when 8:30 AM EST came around, the news out of the Labor Department was not good. The unemployment rate ticked up to 8.2 percent and only 69,000 were lucky […]

Cagle Post: America’s Lost Labor Force

As the White House and its friends in the liberal media crowed about the unemployment rate moving ever so slightly down to 8.1 percent from 8.2 percent in April, the real story was how the American labor force shrunk to 63.6 percent. This means that 88,419,000 Americans are sitting on the sidelines, not even looking […]

Politico: Are Democrats premature to predict victory?

A party that is satisfied with 8.5 percent unemployment is a party that is going nowhere. 64 percent of Americans believe that the country is on the wrong track.

State of the Economy Address

The unemployment rate fell by only .1 percentage point, from 9.2 to 9.1 percent and an unimpressive 117,000 jobs were created. Under President Obama’s watch, the unemployment rate has been 9 […]

Obama’s Temper Tantrum

Yesterday, President Obama threw a temper tantrum like a two year old and stormed out of a meeting that he personally called for on the debt crisis. President Obama has become unhinged and is resorting to scare tactics and childish behavior in an attempt to win the media spin cycle.  He is playing politics with […]

Cagle Post: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

With the monthly unemployment rate rising to 9.2 percent last week and only 18,000 jobs created in the month of June – the economic outlook is very bleak for America. Already, July is looking like another stagnant job month with over 400,000 Americans already getting the pink slip in the first week. Our economy has […]
