Thank You, President Zero: Black Unemployment Surges, Highest It’s Been in 27 Years, Obama & White House Are Flailing (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on September 5, 2011
The unemployment numbers released last week now show that not only has America had a net of ZERO jobs created for a month for the first time since World War II, but black unemployment has risen to the highest it has been in 27 years.
Thank you, President Zero.
From Patriot Update, Black unemployment highest in 27 years:
The August jobs report was dismal for plenty of reasons, but perhaps most striking was the picture it painted of racial inequality in the job market.
Black unemployment surged to 16.7% in August, its highest level since 1984, while the unemployment rate for whites fell slightly to 8%, the Labor Department reported.
Even Huffington Post can’t paint a rosy picture of Obama’s Era of Hopenchange:
What a terrible irony this Labor Day that under America’s first African-American president, black unemployment has risen to its highest level since the early Reagan years, and decades of black progress on homeownership have been wiped out.
In the Labor Department’s August jobs report, released Friday, overall unemployment was unchanged at a dismal 9.1 percent and the economy created no net new jobs — but black unemployment soared to catastrophic 16.7 percent. For black men the rate jumped a whole percentage point to 18 percent, and for black youth the rate rose from 39.2 percent to 45.5 percent. Blacks now comprise 12 percent of the labor market, but 22 percent of the unemployed.

Bill Clinton was facetiously said to be the first black president, not just because of his comfort level with the black community and his appointment of African Americans to senior positions, but because of this very real material progress — now largely reversed.
By failing to remedy the larger calamity of unemployment and mortgage foreclosure, Obama does a special disservice to fellow African-Americans.
Rather than condemn Pres. Obama and his failed economic policies and the federal government’s unsustainable, outrageous overspending and government’s power-grabbing growth, Democrat congresswoman Frederica Wilson in Florida blames… racism. That’s the reliable clarion cry from Democrats when Team Obama and its toadies must deflect blame from the Vacationer in Chief, when there is no other option to explain why his socialism/Marxism ideology continues to fail.
Leftwing cheerleader/lap puppy Maureen Dowd may no longer be the naive, swooning groupie she was in 2008, 2009, and 2010 for President Zero… she wrote this in the NY Times this weekend:
MSNBC’s Matt Miller offered “a public service” to journalists talking about Obama — a list of synonyms for cave: “Buckle, fold, concede, bend, defer, submit, give in, knuckle under, kowtow, surrender, yield, comply, capitulate.”
And it wasn’t exactly Morning in America when Obama sent out a mass e-mail to supporters Wednesday under the heading “Frustrated.”
It unfortunately echoed a November 2010 parody in The Onion with the headline, “Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mail.”
“Throughout,” The Onion teased, “the president expressed his aggravation on subjects as disparate as the war in Afghanistan, the sluggish economic recovery, his live-in mother-in-law, China’s undervalued currency, Boston’s Logan Airport, and tort reform.”
You know you’re in trouble when Harry Reid says you should be more aggressive.
If the languid Obama had not done his usual irritating fourth-quarter play, if he had presented a jobs plan a year ago and fought for it, he wouldn’t have needed to elevate the setting. How will he up the ante next time? A speech from the space station?
[...]
The days of spinning illusions in a Greek temple in a football stadium are done. The One is dancing on the edge of one term.
The White House team is flailing — reacting, regrouping, retrenching. It’s repugnant.
Must be racism…
