WASHINGTON -- Unemployment rates rose in all the largest U.S. metropolitan areas for the fifth straight month in May.

The Labor Department says jobless rates in May rose from a year earlier in all 372 metropolitan area it tracks.

The unemployment rate in Kokomo, Ind., jumped to 18.8 percent, up 11.7 percentage points from a year ago, the largest increase of all metro areas. The second-highest jump occurred in Indiana's Elkhart-Goshen. Its rate jumped to 17.5 percent, up 11.4 percentage points from a year earlier. Both areas have been slammed by layoffs in transportation equipment manufacturing.

Yes, and how much do you hear from the White House about this?
He talks about immigration reform.
He talks about health care reform.
He talks about energy, GM, AIG, Federal Reserve Overhaul, Medicare, where will Gitmo detainees live.
He EVEN goes out of his way to make terrorists and dictators feel good.
He talks about everything EXCEPT unemployment.

And, as if that isn't enough we get to hear Pelosi lie and Biden put his foot in his mouth.

But, NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!
