Any activists out there that want to help change the narrative on unemployment?

If you have been over to HuffPo today, there is this horrid picture of President Obama.
He looks like he is alot older than he is, and looks defeated. It really pisses me off.

You can be sure that David Gregory and the other Sunday talk show clowns are going to be talking about how the unemployment numbers are so bad that it's a blessing for Mitt.

How f-ing pathetic!

The real question that the media should be asking is WHY is the House talking about abortion and other nonsense and not passing President Obama's jobs bill. What about the Highway bill?
Why are they stalling it? Is it because they would rather see unemployment numbers increase for political gain?

That is what the talking heads should be talking about.
But they are not. It's going to be how these numbers hurt the President's chance of re-election.

Are you going to sit here and take it?
I'm not. We need a mass email campaign to all the networks telling them we want answers why the House of Representatives is not passing any legislation to help these unemployment numbers.

The unemployment numbers are not President Obama's fault. He has presented bills that would help the job numbers.
The fault lies in Congress whose only goal is to see this President fail - regardless of how this hurts American citizens.

The question I hope you will be asking this weekend on Meet the Press is WHY Congress is debating abortion - a LEGAL procedure and NOT passing the Highway bill or any other legislation that will create jobs.

President Obama is trying to do something about the unemployment in this country - from job bills to tax breaks for corporations that bring jobs back... but what good does it do when the Republicans block everything?

The GOP won big in 2010 because they promised jobs.
Where are the jobs, Speaker Boehner???
They wouldn't be putting our country at financial risk for political gain, would they? Because it sure looks like it to me.

If I hear one more pundit say how the job numbers are going to hurt President Obama's chances of re-election, I will become ill. Unemployment is NOT a political issue and this should be the top priority of Congress - not abortion!
