85,000 MORE JOBS LOST; Obama's priorities & Judgement called into question

Leading up to the release of the December unemployment numbers the administration said they expected to lose 8,000 jobs, despite retailers adding Christmas help.

The US usually experiences an uptick in employment during the busy holiday season.

Obama actually lost 10 X their estimate for a loss of 85,000 jobs.

Unemployment did remain at 10%, a full 2% higher than Obama promised after receiving his “stimulus”.

The reason the unemployment percent did not go up was because more people lost their benefits during December and are no longer included in the unemployment figures. Those no longer being counted are still just as unemployed, but now have no income.

How can this White House be so wrong on so many issues affecting American voters such as jobs and national security?

Why did Obama sit back & watch unemployment rise for nearly a year before holding a “jobs summit” in December?

Instead of focusing on jobs & national security, Obama chose to address health care & global warming.

Folks, we had a terrorist shoot our military recruiters in Little Rock, Arkansas, another terrorist went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas, and yet another attempted to blow up a planeload of people flying into Detroit on Christmas Day.

The liberals claim Obama is a “certified intellectual”. I am not sure of their criteria for such a dubious claim, but they may want to revise their standards. For those who have no job or rely on the administration to protect them as they fly; they may have a different evaluation of his intellectual prowess.

Many are justified in questioning Obama’s judgement & priorities.

How does a president come to the conclusion that the country needs him to address health care & global warming, while he sits back and ignores unemployment & national security?

I heard the liberals state that Obama was following Bush’s national security policies and therefore it was Bush’s fault.

Excuse me, but if this guy is so smart, and Bush was believed to be so dumb, why didn’t he review the Bush policies and update them when he came into office?

If you think you are a “certified intellectual”, why would you follow the same policies of someone you think is not as smart as you?

Obama is simply not as smart as advertised.

Folks, to put it another way: ‘the Emperor has no clothes’!!
