This continues to be the longest streak — 41 months — of unemployment of 8% or higher since the Great Depression. (Pethokoukis)Thanks to government fudging and statistical manipulation, our official unemployment rate is 8.2% instead of the being over 10% where it really belongs. Obama and his team of the economically ignorant promised us 5.6% by now, and the hopium smokers believed them..
Why does Obama Hate Black People?
The unemployment rate for white men and women was unchanged at 7.4 percent, while 184,000 more black American's went without a job in June, for an unemployment rate of 14.4 percent. (Business Insider)Why is Obama Punishing Latinos?
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for blacks (14.4 percent) edged up over the month, while the rates for adult men (7.8 percent), adult women (7.4 percent), teenagers (23.7 percent), whites (7.4 percent), and Hispanics (11.0 percent) showed little or no change. The jobless rate for Asians was 6.3 percent in June (not seasonally adjusted), little changed from a year earlier.(Weekly Standard)
The number of women unemployed in June was 5,785,000, an increase of 780,000 from when Barack Obama was inaugurated in January 2009 – at that time, the number of unemployed women in the United States was 5,005,000. (CNS)
We need jobs, Mr. President, not billowy rhetoric and constant campaigning. You and your party shout angry diatribes against George Bush and the Republicans while bribing the various constituency groups, but how about getting government out of the way and allowing the private sector, hard working men and women of all colors and creeds, to drive this recovery?
"It doesn't have to be this way"
We need a president who understands job creation. Mitt Romney has created jobs, Obama has been a miserable, Carteresque failure, which is unfair to Carter, since he was actually a better president.
Here's Romney's plan. You can argue that it is just words, but that is what campaigns are about, and he has the track record to back it up...

"I have a plan," Romney said. "My plan calls for action that will get America working again and create good jobs.
Both near and long-term. It includes finally taking advantage of energy resources and creating energy jobs and convincing manufacturers that energy will be available and low cost in America.
It means opening up new markets for American trade, particularly in Latin America where the opportunities are extraordinary and cracking down on china when they cheat and making sure they don't steal our jobs and bringing tax rates down.
Cutting out the exemptions and deductions and loopholes that are unfair in many cases. In other cases we will limit the deductions so that we maintain our revenue through growth and limning of special deals and bringing tax rates down so they are competitive and attractive for jobs to come back to America." (Romney quoted in the Weekly Standard)Obama's response? Another BS-fueled campaign outing. He launched his "Betting on American Stupidity" reelection tour, commandeering a foreign-made bus and driving it through states and municipalities destroyed by progressivism...
