Those who voted for Obama continue to be unemployed
We can say a couple of things about the 2012 election and jobs:
1) You have a better chance of finding a job in a state that voted for Romney, such as Texas, the Dakotas, the Carolinas and Georgia. On the other hand, New York, California and Illinois are economic disasters "clinging" to the hope that change will come their way.
2) Young people, blacks and "hispanos" cannot find work.
Daniel Henninger has a great article about young people and lack of jobs. It is bad for young people. However, it is really bad for the two groups that blindly voted for Obama; blacks and hispanos:
"The Center for American Progress study is a straight-ahead description of the grim employment status and diminished earnings prospects of whites, Hispanic and especially younger blacks. The official unemployment rate for people in their late teens and post-college years is around 16%, but add in those who've given up looking or taken jobs flipping hamburgers (underemployment) and their home-alone status moves past 25%. For young blacks--the most politically misled people in America--the out-of-work number is between 40% and 50%."
He promised them a "rose garden" but it looks more and more like those "Paper roses" that Marie Osmond sang about years ago.
He scared "hispanos" that Romney would grab "Tia Maria" from the sofa and ship her back to Mexico. The truth is that Tia Maria is packing her bags and following "Tio Juan" back to Mexico because the Obama economy is only good for the stock market: Stock rally is disconnected from wage and job growth,
Lousy job market & anemic GDP growth means that those who "blindly voted" for Obama will continue to be unemplpyed no matter how many "5 de Mayo" speeches Obama delivers.
How can this man continue to enjoy high approval ratings? Beats me! It cannot be for results because there no "resultados" in the Hispanic districts.
Here is the Obama story for "hispanos': There are lots of "discursos" (speeches) but not enough "trabajos" (jobs)!
