Hope and Change is really working in Barry's home state...

Quote:Illinois’ sluggish jobs recovery is coming at a tremendous cost. For every post-recession job created in Illinois, nearly two people have enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps.

In the recession era, the number of Illinoisans dependent on food stamps has risen by 745,000. Without adequate job creation in the state, Illinois families have had no choice but to depend upon food stamps to put bread on the table.

The Prairie State has had the worst recovery from the Great Recession of any state in the U.S. There are nearly 300,000 fewer Illinoisans working today than in January 2008, and 170,000 fewer payroll jobs.

Hope and change on the plantation.

I have no doubt that Obama tried to help his home state, no doubt at all. So it's no surprise Illinois lost jobs because everything Obama touches dies.

Osama Bin Laden would agree.

Yeah, it's amazing what the outcome of a coin flip could be.

Is that all it took?

I guess Bush couldn't make heads or tails of it.

The Obama Bin Biden plan is running as Scheduled !

Hope and change? I think not. Yet...the Dems keep on carrying water for this horrible President.

I expect if this continues?....We will see Obama be ostracized before the next election. Anyone attached to this loser will regret it.

I believe it was a recent GAO study that said those on unemployment were 3 times more likely to shop than look for a job. Something along those lines

And yet in recent polls our current governor Pat Quinn is leading his GOP challenger by almost 10 points.
