Obama: good sign US economy added private sector jobs

WASHINGTON | Fri Aug 6, 2010 12:11pm EDT

WASHINGTON Aug 6 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Friday said climbing out of the U.S. recession will take time and it was a "good sign" that the U.S. economy added private sector jobs every month this year.

His comments came after the government reported the unemployment rate was unchanged at 9.5 percent in July for a second straight month.

Obviously Reuters is bias, there were 130,000 jobs lost in July, that makes it clear Obama is not focused on job creation. The truth is Obama is a failure, complete and utterly. As a Democrat he has lied to Union members while our Union Presidents pay hundreds of millions to Obama for relection, there is no money for our pensions???? Obama is the worst President in History, his Communist agenda is not what America wants.
