The way Obama voters and non-Obama voters deal with unemployment are a very different.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Speaker Pelosi says unemployment benefits are economic stimulus. Those are bare-bones benefits.
But the indisputable fact is, a huge percentage of Obama's voters are basically wards of the state. There are millions of them, and they have no intention of voting for anyone who might want them to ever go out and work for a living - 'no matter what.'
In my right-wing politics of the time, I held that unemployment was usually the fault of the unemployed.
With unemployment still abysmally high, the Obama economy is crushing Hispanics' dreams for their children to live a better life.
More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America, fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector, because government got out of the way.
The unemployment rate is not real.
Unemployment is sky-rocketing; deflation is in our future for the first time since the Great Depression. I don't care whose fault it is, it's the truth.
Obama's economic policies obviously have not worked, and have left the American market place with enormous uncertainty and anxiety.
No president has ever been elected with unemployment over 8 percent.
I think no one has ever been re-elected with unemployment over 7.6 percent.
