The US Government says the GDP grew 3.5% in third quarter, certainly suggesting the beginning of the end of the economic recession. However, this good news was not followed by the falling of the unemployment rate.
For those who have lost a job or are in search of a job, the days are long. Critics have [...]

President Obama’s approval rate is going down. The economy is getting better but not to the point where the American people want it to be. People are losing patience and that is not fair! We all agree that even superman couldn’t do better in this global economic crisis.
Since Obama was sworn in as president, he [...]

The latest polls show that president Obama’s approval poll is down compared to three months ago. Honestly, this should not be a surprise because he was elected with such high expectations. He inherited a very unique situation: two wars and an economy in recession.
In bad times, people are impatient to see results and all the [...]

When Vice-President Joe Biden speaks, he sometimes says things that he’s not supposed to say — even contradicting the White House. His comments suggesting that Americans should avoid air travel or confined spaces of any kind forced the White House to apologize. The swine flu is not good news for the Obama administration, [...]

In this tough economic time, violence is on the increase in America. The mass murders lately are a reflection of how bad things are right now. Violence has always existed in America. Weapons are part of the American culture. America is a victim of its own culture.
Should Americans complain about having too many weapons circulating? [...]

Sometimes, heroes are not recognized because they work in the shadows. I’m referring to Tim Geithner, responsible for fixing the financial sector, the engine for the economic recovery. Obama’s approval rating should be credited to this man who was unjustly targeted by the GOP, calling for him to resign from his job. Tim Geithner didn’t [...]

Doctors around the US are reporting a sharp increase in the number of vasectomies. Definitely with the economy down, families across the country are taking drastic resolutions to spend less.

The world economy is bad. In the U.S. things are not getting better, either. The role played by the media is not helping. The campaign of fear on the radio and TV is affecting everyone.
Clearly, the economic recession will last for while. Fear is not the solution. Instead of being positive and limiting the alarmist [...]

In spite of the attempted blockage by the majority of the GOP of the economic stimulus plan, it has passed the House. The bill is fighting its way out of the Senate to President Barack Obama’s desk. What humiliation for Rush Limbaugh and his “troops” in Congress and the Senate!
It is time for the [...]

The economy is still the dominant topic right now. Today President Obama looked more like candidate Obama from the election. I am not sure if President Obama has learned yet that he cannot count on the GOP to build a bipartisan coalition to resolve the amazing challenges that the U.S. is [...]
