10% county unemployment, not counting part-timers and self-employed, which was a lot of our construction workers.

lee county led the nation in forecloseures last year.

This whole city is shut down - everyone watching him on TV - everyone packing roads to see him drive past.

They've been interviewing ppl all morning about who can't find a job. Obama's speaking to a city of really desperate people.

Steele on FNC asked DNC Chair Kaine why Obama needed Republicans to vote for the pork-laden bill. Steele made the point that the Democrats have the votes they need to pass it without anymore Republicans - so why is Obama making a plea for Republicans to vote for it. Because Democrats want to share the blame when it tanks the economy even more. They want it to look like a bi-partisan failure.

Give em enough rope to hand themselves. This may well work in the short term...or not as we've seen with Tarp...either way Repubs win. The nation gets better or Barry n'O' fails.

A older woman named Henrietta just stood up and asked a question. She said she doesn't need parks and recreation. She needs help with her home. "Help us". Something along those lines.

An emotional moment. Obama walked down and hugged her, and said his staff would contact her. I think she's going to be an ongoing national story.

250 tickets went to people who waited all night in line.

1250 tickets were dispersed to community organizations, local politicians, etc

I'm sure "Man Up!" would have played well with Americans.

What a sad sack of people. Instead of listening to this drivel, they should be hitting the pavement knocking on doors, making phone calls, calling temp agencies, etc.

I have no pity for people who wont help themselves and would rather put their faith in the slave master like Obama than their own self.

Pathetic.

You know what, its the only message that is truthful. But you dont want the truth.

You want to be coddled by a pied piper liar who says what you want to hear.

Message is loud and clear to me. Shit, I'm not getting any $ from Obama.

I'm just hoping it'll stop my city from collapsing. I wish you could drive down my streets. 3/4 of the homes on every block have foreclosure locks on teh door. Garbage and racoons all over. Empty storefronts everywhere. Crime is sick. Home invasions and all that...

it sucks here. I'm tired of seeing it. I don't care if Obama takes $X from millionaires who are used to tax cuts, and uses it to create 100X jobs. These folks can't work, and the city I live in is turning to shit as a result.

All my family and friends live here. Weather is nice too.

I'd prefer we try to FIX things, rather than just abandon them.

Besides, if you keep abandoning these places, it ends up becoming cities of vagrants - leads to crime, infestation, disease, etc, and eventually it'll spill over into your suburb.
