OBAMA'S "CHANGE" SCHTICK IS HEADING FOR THE WORST - RISING UNEMPLOYMENT, FALSE PROMISES

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Obama has intentionally avoided the issues facing the very same people who rallied in historical numbers to vote him into office: the poor, uneducated, jobless and minority. Time's a tickin', buddy. If you don't give the jobless jobs, your schtick on "change" won't work for round 2.

The jobless rate hit a 26-year high last month: 9.8%. Economists, including Alan Greenspan, predict unemployment rates will definitely rise beyond 10%. WSJ article here.

"President Barack Obama and the Democrats are all the more exposed on the jobs front because they touted the $787 billion economic-stimulus bill as a way to curb job losses. The Obama team asserted in January that the recovery plan would keep unemployment below 8% and push it down to nearly 7% by the end of 2010. Obama aides have since said that they didn't grasp how sour the economy was at the time."

Remember all of the blacks who registered to vote for the first time just to vote for Obama? Well, in some black neighborhoods in Chicago, unemployment is near 40%.

Obama continues to address health care and the war in Afghanistan. That's all gravy but people are soon going to start demanding answers. People want to feed their family and send their kids to school. While Obama was planning his speech before the Olympic Committee overseas, a young boy was beaten to death in the streets of Chicago. His family struggled with funeral expenses.

The stimulus money didn't work. Bailing out banks isn't the answer. Remember when three banks gave back approximately $300 million of TARP money back to the G? We must put Americans back to work. Streets and schools needs a facelift. Americans need jobs, Americans need food, Americans need education for their kids so that their kids can have jobs.

I'm beginning to think the only bailout that needs to occur is for Obama to get bailed out of taking a job that was filled with a lot of false hope.
