California unemployment rate jumps to 8.2 percent, third highest in U.S.

Where is the Governator?

Thinkprogress:

The LA Times reports that California’s unemployment rate soared to a 14-year high in October, hitting 8.2%. The most populous state “shed 26,400 people from its payroll last month, raising the total number of lost jobs to 101,300 since October 2007.” Analysts predict “the situation is about to get worse.” The state’s rate ranks third in the U.S., exceeded only by those of Michigan and Rhode Island, at 9.3% each.

SPB our Govenor Arnie is busy trying to suck up to Obama for a job. Look he was put in office by the GOP because they didn't want the citizens to get the money Enron stole and funnel it back to the GOP. Ya we feel for the lies hook line and sinker. Arnie has put us in more debt and now is looking for his wife's family to get a job with the Obama/Biden. I hope Obama doesn't fall for the tricks Arnie is playing.

It's best to keep the Gropinator out of DC, we don't need all the sex scandals he will bring.

And yes, he is not doing such a bang up job in CA either.
