Further if the economy does not begin to rebound some of these folks whol have been out of work for so long will have lost their sellable skills...and unfortunately it goes downward from there.

Finally not wanting to appear selfish. I want Obama to succed because my life savings are bing hammered and the less risky investments CD, etc don't pay interest because the Fed has mis-manipulated monetary policy much too long. The "average Joe" is taking a licking and we won't be able to keep on ticking much longer
