The fact is, under Obama, the number of jobs shed per month has steadily been decreasing. Unemployment is like a freight train, you have to slow it down before you can change its direction.

Its time to run this so called “President” out of office . Him, his buddies, and his useless policies, what a fluk………………….. IMPEACH OBAMA !!!!! He is “O”ne “B”ad “A”ss “M”istake “A”merica ……………….

YOU AND 895 SORRY U LOST THE ELECTION WE HAD!!!WE HAVE FAITH IN HIM AT LEAST HES TRYNG TO HELP THE PEOPLE WITHOUT , UNLIKE BUSH WHO ONLY MADE THE RICH EVEN RICHER LIKE IN ENRON BUDDIES OH YEAH AND THE PHONY NUCLEAR ARMS SHEDS HE HAD IN IRAQ THAT NO ONE COULD FIND THAT STARTED THIS 9 YEAR WAR THAT COSTS TRILLIONS A YEAR PLUS ALOT OF DEAD SONS AND DAUGHTERS FOR US AND FOR WHAT TO MAKE THE OIL COMAPNIES AND BUSH RICHER? WAKE UP

I am at the new blog also

so convenient, any bad news for America is repugnat crack…they really just can't get enough;
the republiCAN'Ts are drooling and cackling with glee like the Hyenas they are; anything negative for America is music to their fungus filled ears…cockroaches.
Even with American workers that have jobs or are jobless right now, our POTUS has the worst job that most can't even comtemplate or want – having to straighten out the mess from greedy self serving bushwack oil and war pusher;
America is suffering from the 8 years of bush bloodsucking poison.
our new President Obama has to conduct major surgery every day to root out the bush cancer; as bad as pancreatic surgery, where the pancreas is the deepest organ inside the body.
now if the greedy gluttonous repukes were in the White House, well, they would just sell it to make some profit.

it will take along time to weed out the George Bush skeleton closet. A village in Texas finally got their idiot back…watch out for George P. Bush though Jeb's son. Jeb's wife is Columbian and I am not meaning anything racial but Jeb Bush fixed the election in Florida for his bro.

GREAT FIRST A POSSIBLE SUICIDE BOMBER IN OUR MILITARY A MUSLIM SYMPATHIZER NO OFFENSE I KNOW ALOT OF GOOD MUSLIMS BUT GUESS WHAT NOT ONE IN THE SERVICE THEY USUALLY DONT BELIEVE IN VIOLENCE THE ONES FROM HERE THAT IS!!!! NOW DONT SCARE ME WITH JEBS SON, CAN U IMAGINE HIM AND THE COLUMBIAN WIFE AS FIRST LADY WELL KNOWING ALOT OF LATINOS AS I WORK WITH MANY MANY OVER HTE YEARS SHE WOULD PROBABLY TELL HIM WHAT TO DO And hed do it

I think you need to tyr and crawl far enough out of Obama's left pocket and try to get some air.

ANGIE:

You are correct

Most of the Muslims here left their homeland for a better life because they dont believe in violence and all the one's I know are true to there heart in the AMERICAN DREAM. They wanted a better life and thankfully we do have a society that people here dont strap bombs to their chest's and I can walk down the street as my vehicle got repoed but at least I know I am safe in the USA

If you can get that air you might want to try new glasses.

your kidding right? was it obama that started this bullshit war? and over a lie an outright lie for him to line his own pockets? i dont remember a democrat saying we have to send our shildren to die in iraq because we have proof of a nuclear weapons plant that never existed this war is putting us in so much debt its not even funny and you have the nerve to bitch over unemployment extensions to feed americans who havfe kids over ther edying for no f&&&&& in reason my best friends 19 son died and a neighbors also hweres bush eattiing lobster in texas too bad this guy shooting us soldiers couldnt find that assholes ranch hes the one who started this he should of killed him

Do you guys think any of the “sleepers ” in this country would actualy protrait to be anything else but true loving americans. Give me a break.

the presidents on cnn and he said he signed the bill this morning its done!!!!!!!!!

Be thankful you live in a civilized society. President Obama is still cleaning house and when he finishes you will be thankful. I dont mean any offense but he has alot on his shoulders. We still are a Democratic Society. that is what the Declaration of Independence was founded on. Remember the words “WE THE PEOPLE” we are not a small republic.

I wish all the best for you U.S.Citizen and I mean that please lets not get into a finger pointing confrontation

Mr. Obama Just Signed The Unemployment Extension and I can keep my children fed. but I will be creative and make them something for Christmas as I will not be able to buy them gifts, but be able to keep a roof over their heads and the gifts my parents made me by their hands I cherish the most. My father fought for our freedom and so did his father. I could not enlist due to a bad knee.

no one should be starving in this country and no one should be living in in fear.

I agree any President has a load on his shoulders. I also agree that Obama is “cleaning house”. not only is he cleaning my house but yours as well, you just don't realize it yet but you will in time wait.

Im am not going to fingerpoint but this is what we must live with for now, and hopefully it will get better. Bring the jobs back and protect our Nation and take care of the people before helping other countries. I appreciate your opinion but again I say this is what we have to live with now. The last President to be impeached was Nixon aka tricky dick from the pool of the Watergate country club

Its just the one's I know. I agree some are maybe “sleepers” but I dont know any of them. This Country is a melting pot. and I know I am safe I stocked up on ammo and a great collection of firearms and I am always willing to help those in need whether it be to protect or to help anyway I can I dont hate anyone I just want to survive. Help other's survive if I can.

You got to be kidding me right? who sent us to die in viatnam, without a plan, “Bush” I supose you believe Bush was behind 9/11/2001. Maybe thats what started this damn war that over flowed into Iraq. I praise those you liberated Iraq and put an end to that ruthless “dictator” and all praise to Ronald Reagan For the milatry might we have today. and to a united Germany.

trace why do you think we` were in iraq? sadam didnt hit the towers the one thats still free did the one no one can seem to find? did we find the nukes bush said was there? do u think they were there?

If your read this right ,I did not say Sadam was involved in 9/11, none of us will ever know if we would have been in Iraq today if it was not for 9/11. This dictator was clearly in violation of U.N. resolutions period, regardless of W.M.D.'s who knows where they went or if they were there. Do you have that kind of intellgence information, maybe you guys should have been G.W. B.'s Intellagence advisors.

just so Angie; same old same old; greedy bush repugs eat lobster while young Americans are sent to die, blood money for oil; same as bush failing Katrina victims and sucking up to corporations that sent jobs overseas, but hey, he made texas ranch size piles of money and like repugs say, profit profit profit, well, MY profit profit profit is priority.
**Note to repugs, for the millionth time, unemp. INSURANCE is not a handout, and the price for millions of taxpaying Americans and decades of funding the government, to USE the INSURANCE for sole purpose intended, is, hold on now repugs, don't get too ill, a whole $0.29 Week x 14 weeks = $4.20, yes $4.20 for 14 weeks of unem. INSURANCE

please don't be a complete slime and say any American's dignity is worth less than $0.06 a day.
too bad repugs don't learn that to have class/dignity;
the Measure and Worth of a Person is how they Treat the Less Fortunate

way off topic
even if everything is directly or indirectly connected,
still way off topic

Heads -up ! Those guns, and all that ammo you have, when Obama and his thugs get done cleaning your house, you wont have them anymore. Just beware.

Angie:

Bin laden's relatives were here on 9/11 and the men in black escorted them to safety and flew them out of the US. I knew what was happening but alot of people dont follow the real news. We only went to Iraq because of a threat made by Saddam Hussien to George Bush Sr. I think with the internet you have reliable news as long as you read it all and dont believe all you see on TV because news is what sells on TV and corrupts our country. remember the days of Vietnam it was on the news and with real video I saw my friends in the jungle there, and it was Walter Cronkite saying “AND THATS THE WAY IT IS”

I can see why you are not leading this country. Maybe you could inroll in sme math classes.

Its great for all the unemployed, who deserve this extension. This is not a freebie, but a saftey net for those who put that money there to begin with. Its so good to see Washington finally spend money for the right cause. Why didn't Oboma insist that this be retroactive with the stroke of his pen. So many will not catch up from falling behind with all the delays.

PLEASE ALL HE DID WAS LIE ON NATIONAL TV AND TELL PEOPLE WE HAD PROOF OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS BEING HELD THERE AND WE HAVE TO GO IN THAT WAS 9 YEARS AGO ST PATRICKS DAY REMEMBER THAT? OBAMA DOESNT WANT TO WASTE OUR SONS LIVES AND SEND MORE IN FOR NOTHING. MAYBE IF YOUR CHILD OR WIFE WAS THERE U WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY NOT TO MENTION ALL THAT MONEY THE WAR IS COSTING AND BOY IS IT PLEANT COULD BE HELPING US HERE AT HOME

THEY DIDNT MAKE IT RETOACTIVE AS PEOPLE LLIKE U SAID WOULD PAY UP EVERYTHING IN ONE SHOT AND THEN BE OUT OF BENEFITS IN A FEW WEEKS YOU KNOW 6 OF ONE HALF A DOZEN OF ANOTHER

it's off a few pennies, mr. nitpicker, so yes, it's even LESS
top down; from $14/year, to $1.17/month, to $0.27/week
for a whopping $0.054 or rounding up as repub tightwad whiners would cry foul about adding to the burden of business empl. ins. tax of $0.06 day for unem. insurance

Iam glad people like you have to step out of the way so we can get the job done. They are now free from that dictator and now can enjoy what we have but that does'nt come over night. Bush said this would not be quick or easy but the ground work was laid. Try to be a little proud of our troops for what they have acomplished I do believe Bush acted on the intellegence he was given' by his advisors In a situation like that you err on the side of coution. Praise to our milatry. And I do have family, loved ons and friends serving around the world I.do Thank god for them.

I think you smoke to much shit, try to lay off it a little bit.

do some real research ok?

all my best to you no matter what you say or believe, as I am not a judge or a hater

Had they not delayed delayed delyed, people would not have sufferd so long,and would not have fallin behind on rent,car,etc., mainly kids with no food on the table. There will be plenty of extensions commimg to you all as long as we are under Obamas' plan to unemploy america and get every under goverment care. Please wake up, all the delays did was screwed you out of weeks of income, and took away from your children.and when that runs out they will play the same game. You just lose and suffer. They should have went retroavtive and extended it further knowing that there will not be jobs there in twenty weeks. Please give me a break.

no doubt that we love our troops
and that we would love even more for no American soldier to die,
but like fire and police, our soldiers are heroes, protecting their country and people; we are more than humbled and proud of them

that said, we are not proud or ashamed to admit that our troops were pointed directly off a cliff that neither we nor they saw or knew about (as bush cancer group provided corrupt intel)
once you know you're on a false trail, you stop traveling that road

On what ? The blind leading the blind. I can see you haven't done research either.

Thats better, sure loved chewen with you guys on these pages put I have other things going on besides this. love to chat with yeas again every body keep a cool head and have a fantastic day. Hope you all see your checks soon. God bless you all, and america she is a beauty.

So where should I research?

if my info was incorrect I apologize and have been lead down the wrong road, who should we trust for real accurate news and facts? I want to know?

I guess seeing is believing.

U.S.Citizen

Thank you.

and why are they spending so much time on the healthcare option? why not reform medicare? and put the checks and balances in place? I have paid all my insurance premiums to CIGNA on time only to be denied coverage. And my best friend died in december 2008 because they would not cover his brain tumor operation

actually, if “sleepers” were portraying anyone, it would be as repugnants, since that would net the most intel value undercover; who else schemes and plans to:
1-relentlessly take their oil/money/power,
2-hates any and all foreigners, thus causing daily frenzies of anti-immigration anti-foreigners law…kkk, nazis etc,
3-quickest and coldest objective politicians on adding bodycount from all sides, always pushing for war, sure as the sun will rise
4-activities of rich corrupt powerful with direct access to key resources – who the “sleepers” might want to “handle”
and many many more opportunities…someone should make a movie

trace, that is really awful and very sad.
heard that cobra was extended/modified for people laid off….?
also, very decent healthcare from group called Anthem blue cross blue shield, if not in your area there's good info on the web for other plans;
as for the healthcare debate, off topic but, repugs spread stinkpiles of lies misinformation, business as usual, to stir up frenzied mobs which kept gaining speed and the White House/dems Should have done damage control and nipped that in the friggin bud, but it gained a full head of steam and now rational Americans Who Hate pharmaceutical/medical/insurance companies – who HASN'T been screwed by medical/ins. companies – and Know the Golden Rule for med/ins. co. is Deny, Deny, Deny, just will not take off the blinders.

Its the big ins. ceo's lining their pockets…I lost my cobra but was able to start an entertainment biz, and was able to get healthcare on my own with CIGNA and had a heart attack and then my they denied my claims. my hosptial bill was $834 just to be carried in on a stretcher to the emergency room and $150 for just for the ambulance then a charge for $200 for respiratory services which they never performed. Someone needs to fix this healthcare but I dont think the Govt can do it not to be pointing a finger at anyone in particular but, maybe they could learn from Canada! they have a good healthcare

Wow ! I really feel bad for you. If there is anyway I can help counsil you in the future please by all means feel free to contact me .

First of all sorry to hear about your friend, if this health bill passes ther will be far more people dying on waiting list, and far fewer doctors. We do need health care reform but this bill is not the way to go. Of coarse it buts more people under goverment care. Thats is the Obama plan. I am confident that the american people will never let this happen. Good luck on your health care, wish the best for yea.

Please don't but me with his sorry ass(895) . What just took place in NJ. and Vergina, is going to spread. I am not sorry for the loss of any election as I am for those who were fooled by Obama, acorn and the rest of his thugs and curupt buddies. Theirs is comming to an end. I just hope it happens before we have nothing left of a once great country His honeymoon is over, and a lot of the people that voted his sorry ass into office, are now starting to realize their mistake. This is why his numbers are falling so quickly. This isn't nothing yet, wait untill election time, your anointed one will be a thing of the past. Lets just wait and see what is said of him and his policies for america. Just to bad he already spent more then all past presidents combined. But don't worry, your grandkids grandkids will be working to pay that dept. Do you really approve of a 13 trillion dollar dept. Oh yea thats “Bushes”. fualt too. By the way when to you think Obama will actually take responsibilty for this mess were in sooner or later it is his economy.

U.S.Citizen:

I know the GOV'T can't run the healthcare option they have too much on there hands as it is, what they need to do is, control the private ins. sector and stop all the crap. 'SORRY WE DON'T COVER THAT” and put them under regulation. I am sorry for putting capitals in my sentence. I am stressed right now and I thank you you are correct Obama's plan will not help. I do wish everyone here all the best and I hope we won't go into a depression. And I pray for all the one's that gave their live's and the one's that are out there on the frontline keeping us safe.

Go …Red, white and blue we'll put a boot their ass it's the Amercican Way (Toby Keith) said it in “Courtesy Of The Red, White and Blue”

I love The USA

“Amen” to that. I sure wish I could get you some stress relief : ( But hang in there and try to look up hun better days are comming: ) !…………

Trying to keep my head up ….Thanks
