Thank You Obamanomics … VP Biden Campaigning in Oshkosh, WI a Day after Oshkosh Corp. Announced 450 Layoffs

AWKWARD!!!

The following story is a perfect example of why Barack Obama/Joe Biden do not need a second term. Thanks to Obamanomics and a failed job recovery, another company announces layoffs. I wonder how these 450 people would answer the question, are you better off today than you were four years ago?

Opps, talk about bad timing and why Obama/Biden are not running ob their record of failed job recover. One day before VP Biden campaigns in Oshkosh, WI … Oshkosh Corp, one of the largest area employers announced 450 layoffs as a result of expected cuts to the Department of Defense. There is nothing like going into a state to ask for four more years and praise the efforts of Obama after one of the states largest employers announces layoffs … DOH!

Vice President Joe Biden is campaigning in Oshkosh on Friday, a day after one of the largest area employers announced 450 layoffs — the result of expected cuts to the Department of Defense.

Oshkosh Corp. will layoff 450 manufacturing workers in January, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday, saying the Pentagon is expected to purchase few of the company’s military vehicles. The military cut its requested budget for ground vehicles by 32 percent in the 2013 fiscal year.

Could this be the reason why Obama barely leads in Wisconsin after winning the state in 2008 by 13%.

Hey Wisconsin, I bet this gets you jazzed to go out and vote for Barack Obama, doesn’t it!

Another Failed Obama Green Energy Venture … Michigan Battery Plant Places Workers on Furlough. Another $150 Million Wasted

Well there you go again … Obama picks another ‘green” energy loser …

Remember during the recent Presidential debate when Mitt Romney stated the following, “Mr President, you just don’t pick winners and losers, you pick losers VIDEO).“ Well, Obama has done it again, this time it is a Michigan battery plant that was given $150 million of tax payer dollars at the Compact Power plant as workers are placed on a rotating furlough.

From Fox News comes the following, ‘Plant that got $150M in taxpayer money to make Volt batteries furloughs workers’.

President Obama touted it in 2010 as evidence “manufacturing jobs are coming back to the United States,” but two years later, a Michigan hybrid battery plant built with $150 million in taxpayer funds is putting workers on furlough before a single battery has been produced.

Workers at the Compact Power manufacturing facilities in Holland, Mich., run by LG Chem, have been placed on rotating furloughs, working only three weeks per month based on lack of demand for lithium-ion cells.

As the Lonely Conservative opines, remember when Obama was touting that “green energy” jobs boom? Consider that among many of Obama’s 2008 promises to fix the economy in the where are they now files.

More Records for Obama & Obamanomics: Record Low for High School Student Jobs and Record High for Those Working Past Age 65

Hey America, Three plus years into the Obama Presidency, How’s that “Hopey-Changey” thing working out for ya? More records for Obama and jobs … 

Parents, are you finding it difficult for your high school kids to get summer jobs? You are not alone. Thanks to the Barack Obama job recovery we can add two more records to his list of accomplishments, the young workers are getting squeezed out of the market because positions are being filled by older workers. Making matters worse, the elderly cannot afford to retire. As reported at the Washington Times, according to the National Center for Education Statistics the high school job market has hit its lowest level in 20 years. The jobs once held by young high school kids are now being taken by those older than them who have been forced to take lesser positions thanks to the so-called Obama job recovery. A meager 16% of high school age kids are now employed as opposed to 32% in 1990.

The American job market is no place for students as the number of employed high schoolers has hit its lowest level in more than 20 years, according to new figures from the National Center for Education Statistics.

In 1990, 32 percent of high school students held jobs, versus just 16 percent now. Blame their elders.

Sectors that traditionally have offered teens their first paying gig — fast-food chains, movie theaters, malls and big-box retailers — have now become the last resorts for out-of-work college graduates or older Americans forced back into the labor force out of sheer financial necessity. The resulting squeeze has left students on the outside looking in.

Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) Gives Rosie O’ Donnell & ‘The Rosie Show’ the Boot

That did not take very long, after just five short months Oprah Winfrey Network, OWN, is giving Rosie O’ Donnell and  ’The Rosie Show’ the axe. According to reports it was because of plunging TV ratings. In five months Rosie went from a daily average of viewership from 500,000 to 150,000. Plunging, one might say free-fall.

Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network is pulling the curtain on “The Rosie Show” after five months on the air.

The show premiered in October to about 500,000 viewers but lost about half that audience within days of its debut.

As reported by the NY Times, it appears the show and its producers were in total disarray.All this chaos in just five months? Oh how it must have been a joy to work on this project.

The Chicago Tribune reported this month that Ms. O’Donnell was under contract until 2013. The newspaper asserted that the show suffered from a “top-heavy organization plagued by turnover among executive producers during the show’s brief history.” It also cited a “fundamental culture clash” between the producers of Ms. Winfrey’s former program in Chicago and other producers hired specifically for “The Rosie Show.”
