This cant be so Obama says hes personally improving the employment problem
Will this be on the MSM?
It will now anonymous 12:24.
Look out, we'll now need another tax hike to create some new jobs.
Listening to the president and his mouthpieces telling us how great the economy is doing, and then reading (daily) about plant closings, layoffs, and failed businesses makes one think they fell down the rabbit hole and are talking to the cheshire cat. What's that saying about peeing on my head and telling me it's raining???
Wait a minute... There are 3 good paying jobs available this very moment in Ocean City. With the resignation of OC's Tourism Director last night, there are 3 vacancies up for grabs. The City Manager resigned in September, the Convention Center Director in November, and now the Tourism Director.
Uh, I guess they're going in a different direction.
