  1. In 2009,when lord,oh,I mean President Oblamer promised that unemployment would stay below 7% with ths stimulus bill,did you realy believe this guy?41 straight months of 8% plus unemployment.Under George W Bush,it was,at the hightest,6%.We also has gas at $1.84 on January 20,2009.
    On November 6th,2012,(if we are allowed to even vote)I plan on adding Mr Oblamer to that 8% plus unemployment.
    I highly encourage everyone to make sure Mr Oblamer is part of HIS 8% unemployment rate.
