HERE’S HOW MUCH OBAMA’S “CHANGE” HAS BEEN HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATES…

According to the Associated Press a couple of days ago, Obama sent Congress a small business loan bill.  The Obama administration is proposing to create a $30 billion support program to unfreeze credit for the nation’s small businesses.  What’s taking him so long?  He proposed this way back in January.  His numbers are tanking so he’s got to feed us some crumbs.  Nothing he has attempted to do has come to the final stage.  What he needs to do for these small businesses is mandate that banks give small businesses access to loans with a much lower interest rate than what is now available.  That is the one and only way these small businesses will be able to have access to loans so they can hire employees.

Want to see how the unemployment rate has ballooned since Obama took office?  Take a look at this map.  The highest unemployment rate (10% and more) is indicated by the color black.  There’s so much black on this map, it’s alarming.  Incidentally, it was a black student, LaToya Eqwuekwe, who created this map and the indicated colors.  Latoya put this map together as part of a grad student project while at a university.  It illustrates the rising unemployment levels across the country by month, from January 2007 through December 2009.  Notice how in this interview, the CNN news anchor says "purple stain", using care not to use the word "black".  I guess saying the word black to someone who’s black is now offensive.  There’s way too much political correctness in our society.  What’s next…calling a black crayon "darkest gray"?

I’m also including unemployment rate charts:  One from 1989-1990 and a recent one from May 2008-April 2010 for comparison…
