Anyone Remember ORange Man Boehner talk about "JOBs" but blocked all Job related bills to come to the floor. Remember Turtle man McConnell talk about Jobs but worked against it ever coming up for a vote. OK here it is. Obstruction of POTUS (Obama) Jobs Bill that would have provided jobs for Americans. Folks pay attention. Do Not be brainwashed by lying Faux News Rhetoric that spews hate of our Bi-Racial President. You do it at your own peril. Will be tagging many of my FB friends.

So far, there are signs that employers are shrugging off the ill effects of Europe’s troubles and volatile financial markets and are continuing to hire at a gradual pace. The September unemployment report relieved concerns about massive waves of layoffs, and last week the Commerce Department said the economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the summer months, its fastest clip in a year.

The Labor Department also reported Thursday that the number of people filing new claims for unemployment insurance benefits fell last week to 397,000, from a revised 406,000 the previous week. That was the lowest level in five weeks. Also Thursday, a survey from the Institute for Supply Management on activity at the nation’s service businesses was little changed, at 52.9 in October compared with 53 in September. Numbers above 50 indicate expansion. ... See MoreSee Less
