Why is GOP afraid of Obama? President Hails Auto Bailout As Jobless Rate Jumps to 9.1

Unemployment in the United States increased again last month to 9.1 percent, with the Obama economy adding only 54,000 jobs-the fewest in eight months. Today's terrible jobs report is much worse than expected. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had grimly predicted 160,000 new jobs and an unemployment rate of 8.9 percent earlier this week.

But despite the dismal news that 13.9 million Americans remain unemployed, President Barack Obama is holding a victory party today at a Chrysler plant in Toledo, Ohio, trumpeting the only jobs he can manage to create-those bought and paid for directly by the U.S. taxpayer.
