MIKE ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA’S SPEECH TODAY REGARDING JOBS AND THE ECONOMY, SAYS: “THERE’S A WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY–AND I PEG THEM BETWEEN THE AGES OF 40 AND 55 YEARS OF AGE–WHO LOST THEIR JOBS 3, 4, 5 YEARS AGO, AND THE JOBS THAT THEY HAD ARE NOT COMING BACK TO THEM. THEY’VE GOT TO SEEK EMPLOYMENT IN OTHER AREAS OR DOWNSIZE THEIR EMPLOYMENT IN TERMS OF PAY SCALES. THAT’S WHAT’S GOT TO BE ADDRESSED. 7.6% UNEMPLOYMENT IN THIS COUNTRY—THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE. A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO HOPE FOR JOBS WHO LIVE WEEK TO WEEK NOW.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC
