President-Elect Barack Obama held his first press conference yesterday, one that focused mainly on the current economic crisis. One detail that flew under the radar, however, was which networks and newpapers got to ask questions, or, rather, which one didn’t get to ask a question. As Media Bistro notes, one network who was not called upon sticks out: Fox News. It will be interesting to see how the conservative network adjusts to a political reality in which the Democratic Party holds the White House and substantial majorities in both houses of Congress. Michael Wolff, a Vanity Fair columnist who is writing an authorized biography on Rupert Murdoch’s career and family, claims that even Murdoch is embarrassed by Fox News www.huffingtonpost.com CHICAGO — Inheriting an economy in peril, President-elect Obama warned on Friday that the nation faces the challenge of a lifetime and pledged he would act urgently to help Americans devastated by lost jobs, disappearing savings and homes seized in foreclosure. But the man who promised change cautioned against hopes of quick solutions. “It is not going to be easy for us to dig ourselves out of the hole that we are in,” Obama said at his first news conference since winning the presidency on Tuesday. The No. 1 priority, Obama said, is to get Congress to approve an economic stimulus plan that would extend jobless benefits, send food aid to the poor, dispatch Medicaid funds to states and spend tens of billions of dollars on public works …

Did ya that ignorant chris matthews…He is prolly masterbating right now to obama’s picture..lmao
Here we are a year later barry,And you brought it up to 10.2% and ran up the deficeit also.
While immigration and the Great Recession are virtually separate, the fact that billions of U.S. dollars are being transferred to Mexico every year certainly doesn’t help.
The point about the jobless Americans and the working illegals is absolutely accurate.
don’t ya love the irony in that
10 million illegals are working in America because NAFTA hasn’t worked in Mexico to create the needed jobs and it takes years for an immigrant to become legal. But illegal immigrants aren’t terribly relevant to the financial crisis. It is a separate issue. We now face this financial crisis because Wall Street made loans to people with bad credit and this was done under the Clinton administration.
10 millions are jobless and Wall street gets over 700 billion dollars of other people’s money to make those people that gave them the 700bill more unemployable. So who’s to blame here the corrupted fat cats in Wall street that are using your money to save themselves from their own fuck ups or the illegal with no benefit and rights?
10 million americans jobless while 10 million illegals are working.
