I am not surprised to be honest, what do they expect with unemployment being at it's lowest point, they only way i see them getting out of it would be to stop people sending miney abroad and avoiding tax in the first place.

Hey Bev, did any of those people ask you how Mary Easley got an 88% pay raise for a job created especially for her?

She wants first hand knowledge? Really? Then let's hold another election without the Obama coat-tails and help her towards that first-hand knowledge.

Quote: "She found out a lot about what the center does," Pearson said. "She wants that first-hand knowledge."

I want to know how she does not know what the ESC does after years as a State Senator and Lt. Governer. This displays how out of touch she is and problably a lot of other politicians.

A majority of the current bloated corpse "stimulus bill"'s jobs creation will not happen until year 3 and 4. And most of it goes as payback to unions and far left wing (totalitarian) interest groups.

"the second of her promised surprise visits to state agencies and facilities"? I thought she had dropped in at Cherry and also at the DOT during the snow prep and maybe at least one other agency previously?

"How do you qualify for unemployment when you never had a job?"

Uh, ESC is NOT just there for collecting unemployment. It is also a job service.

Anyone can look for a job at the ESC office whether they have ever worked, are working or recently unemployed. Just because they are at the ESC office does not mean that they are filing for unemployment benefits. Just because one files for unemployment insurance does not mean he/she will receive benefits. Yes, one has to have worked and lost his/her job due to not fault of their own to receive unemployment insurance benefits.

"Some had just lost their jobs because of the recession, while others never had one, Pearson said. "

How do you qualify for unemployment when you never had a job?

How come we have so many spokespersons???

This makes me so angry as a McCrory and McCain voter I can't form words.

How dare...

Coming from a city of Charlotte IP address -- my favorite has to be adding the phrase “Liberal Bastard” to the description of John Edwards.

It only lasted a moment back in March before being reported as vandalism to the Wiki entry, but that is nice work indeed.
