Hi guys,
I don’t know if I ever told you, but I’m a bit of a polls wh***. I let them affect me. It’s not rational, I know, it’s just the way it is. The last few polls upset me, especially the one from today, where PBO is down 7 points since January. Unemployment is down a whole 1 percent in three months, and people are more pessimistic about the economy than they’ve been in two years? None of this makes sense.
Are people THAT stupid? They really can’t see what’s going on? Who’s on their side and who isn’t? Can’t they see that PBO is just about the only person between America as we know it and some third world fascism?
I told you, polls gets to me. And regrettably, the PL can get to me too, at least from time to time, and so is the stupid media giving Tramp (Yea, this is my spelling and I’m sticking with it) so much space to spit his ugliness . Therefore, I’m not happy today…:)
Anyway, here’s a piece of good news, followed by some lovely photos. Do notice the diversity of the crowd in the Town Hall (Which can be seen HERE and is obviously highly recommended, since PBO talked about stuff he’s been talking about from day one and the media insist that he should talk about because they never show him talking about it) . We really *must* make sure that all these people comes out to vote next year.
Unemployment falls, jobs added in most states
The unemployment rate dropped in 34 states in March from February, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s the largest number of states to record a decline since June. The rate rose in seven states and was unchanged in nine and Washington, D.C.
Employers hired more workers in 38 states. A government survey of employer payrolls found only 12 states plus Washington, D.C. lost jobs last month, the fewest since October.

Feds approve Cape Wind power project off Massachusetts coast
BOSTON — A federal agency approved plans for the Cape Wind power project off the Massachusetts coast, clearing the way for work to begin on America’s first offshore wind farm as early as this fall.
Approval by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement was required before construction of the proposed 130-turbine wind farm in Nantucket Sound could get under way.
Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar said Tuesday that the Cape Wind project, which has already received other state and federal permits, could create 600 to 1,000 jobs and that nationwide the wind power industry has the potential for tens of thousands of jobs.
