Own it Ohio and Pennsylvania!! You want him, you got him.

They own it

little consolation of "their" ownership cause hot darn , so do WE!!!

I´m shocked. Shocked!

I guess Hurricane Sandy ravaged Ohio much worse than first thought. 20 mph winds and a quarter inch of rain causes 20,000 to lose their jobs.

No sympathies with PA and OH at this point!! You bought him, you own him, warts and all!!

Just goes to show how stupid a little more than 50% of Americans are as dumb as posts!

You own it too, Sandy!

As a Central PA´er with nothing but disdain for the festering pustule aka Philly, once again a mea culpa for the trash therein that hasn´t done an honest day´s work in decades that again STOLE the election. Exceptions for the few working class folk trapped therein or any Ldotters also.

Philly, Pittsburgh and Detroit have the worst, "large" cities bond ratings in the country...and Cleveland isn´t too far ahead of them. It´s amazing to me that there is any productivity left in these places AT ALL.

#8, please see #5.........and then leave.

Of course the books were cooked.

Looking forward: Pub congressmen can only vote "present" on economic issues.

Compromise, and they share the blame.

Oppose, and they are obstructionists who shoulder all the blame.

"Present" is the only way to avoid giving the Dems political cover.

Karma in action and we get to watch. Cool.

Just wait until the coal mines close. More to come.

#8, way to toe the party line on this news, but I´m not buying it. New York, one of the hardest hit by Sandy, saw a DECLINE in claims. And, as others on here have pointed out, Pennsylvania and Ohio were barely effected by Sandy. So, we´re supposed to believe that a little rain can cause unemployment claims to spike?

Yep, rain caused it, and not Zero´s disastrous economic policies. Sieg Heil, Bambi!

Psych! Suckers.

Next up: inflation, higher gas prices, war in the ME, corruption and /or incompetence (according to Senator Mccain) . But hey, the ´´never seen you lose ´´ press will kindly spare you the details AND your phone is in the mail. Happy days!

I live in NE Ohio and #5 doesn´t know how badly NE Ohio was hit - it was very windy - lots of trees down, lots of people without power for a week or more.

That said, Ohio and PA asked for it, they got it. If only the rest of us that voted for Romney didn´t have to pay that price too.

And more good news, union members! In order to help out those that have lost their jobs (BTW, nice timing on the release of data, BLS) your union masters will be increasing your dues, which will conveniently be deducted from your checks automatically.
Congratulations, OH PA.

They don´t need jobs in PA or OH. They will have all their needs met by Obama. They will be getting everything ´´free.´´ IPhones and Nikes coming soon!

Why would stormy weather make businesses lay people off? Only if the company was severely damaged would employees be fired. And besides, the Left was saying the storm will create an economic boom.

Oh, Pa!

It even types hilarious!!

We TOLD you, idiots. The war on Coal is a war on YOU! Oh and Pa are #11 and #4 in coal producing states. Maybe you can EAT the stinkin´ coal.

It is not healthy, you know, the enjoyment I´m gonna get watching the O´nablers wither and perish. I admit that. I´m trying my best, but what can I do?????

Obamaniac-to-English:

Recovery (re*COV*ur*ee):

A depression.

Just to set the record straight - here in Ohio, the winds were over 50 mph and it rained for a week - straight - soaking. That said, Obama can own this bad news, but guess what, he doesn´t care because he won.

John Boenner, get off your lazy chain-smoking posterior and do your job! Investigate the Department of Labor. I can smell the corruption from clear across the Mississippi. Government publications are not the plaything of Dear Leader and his knee pad bureaucracy!

As long as the newly unemployed are Obama voters I`m fine with it....

~~Both states had been targeted by the presidential campaigns. President Obama highlighted his record of job creation in Ohio in particular, focusing on the automobile industry. The state reported 6,450 new jobless claims in the week after the election--second-highest after Pennsylvania, which recorded 7,766 new claims.~~

And, due to our ´progressive´ news media, this information will NOT be mentioned on our evening news programs.

#23, I SURFED Hurricane Gloria on LBI.
No offense intended, but 50 mph winds and a week of rain?
You´ve just described September in Jersey.

I´m sorry for the %99 of Ohio that did NOT vote for the Wan, but if they didn´t en masse march on Cleveland and Cincy to fix those areas, OH owns it.

As does PA.
