I would like to see President Obama head for Ohio again. Liz Cheney and the Kochs are spending big bucks to destroy the rights of workers there.
According to Mitch McConnell, the 3 million jobs created by the stimulus don't count, and the turtle is ignoring the facts by reporting it as a 1.6 million job loss. Fox lets him get away with his lies. After watching Mitch, Boner, Cantor, and the rest of the republicans lie, it makes you wonder if all republicans were dropped on their heads when they were babies.
Last month Wisconsin created half of all jobs created in the United States, the Democratic Party and Obama need to learn a lesson from the Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
Having watched fight for position, I am voting for Obama2012......

Re-hiring laid off public employees due Gov. Walkers budget cuts doesn't count. Sorry. And filling those same empty positions with scabs doesn't count, either.
@pa out of work.
That's not true. That's complete fabrication. I checked on the labor dept website and Winsconsin created less than 5000 jobs. Walker is advertising jobs in other neighboring states as his.
Only a PA republican would think that a drop of .6% in employment in Wisconsin is good. It's fewer jobs.
Today morning news made grand mamma and grand papa happy now good news for veterans
Totally good news for Americans
I don't trust him. Again kva-kva-kva-. Where is YES WE CAN, WHERE IS CHANGE> WHERE IS JOBS?????. The moment he out , people going to be work again.
Well, we know whose REALLY working for the American people and it's not Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, et. al.
Thank you Mr. President.
this man is a walking contradiction, There was already a program for veteran preference, I do have my paper on that. Spicen up the pot is what he is doing, and claiming its all him, on the other hand why does this jobs bill call for reduction of military pay, retiree pay and messing with healtcare for the retiree. Clinton already chopped up the retirement and healtcare and now the president wants to mince it up. Please report both sides of the story and tell America the truth.

Oh, but when laid off public employees are re-hired and fuzzy math is used in an attempt to show unemployment is going down under this administration, now that's ok, right?
Hiring 25,000 by the end of 2013 sounds about right, Obama will no longer be president, the Democrats will have no control in the House or Senate, the economy and job market should be picking up in America by then.
How como he did hot come through with those jobs before? Simple, these red-socialists do not understand that it is the private sector and not government which create fountains of work. Don't they see what happened to the Russian Comunist Empire 20 years ago? When are these people to stop listening to the sinister George Soros?
@ Pa out of work
The information you are talking about happened 5 moths back not last month
This is the latest data
Wisconsin unemployment rate Jan 2011 7.4% , unemployed 225,983
Wisconsin unemployment rate Aug 2011 7.9% ,unemployed 239,916
obama continues to use photo ops and popular themes, which pale in comparison to the damage he is doing ... all in a vain attempt to get reelected ... and, his blindly devoted cult followers continue to be led and suckered by this shameless, self-serving con man !!!

Aside from the fact the the numbers and claims are not true. But, assuming the numbers are correct, then you ignore the most fundamental fact. Walker created the empty positions through his layoffs, and then filled them with people being paid lower wages and benefits.
Pres. Obama didn't cut those local budgets to create the empty positions, but Gov. Walker did.

Check your facts. It was the Bush administration led by VP Cheney who incrementally cut deeper and deeper in the VA. It was Spkr. Gingrich and his "Contract without American Support" who cut into the VA because "we are at peace." It has been the current Senate Republicans who have fought against the billions of increased spending on veterans during a time of war.
