Hillary Rodham Clinton, secretary of state, speaks to the Parliament of Europe:

       I’m actually excited by this opportunity.  I’m very well aware that we are not yet through this economic crisis but the chief of staff for President Obama is an old friend of mine and my husband’s and was in the White House when Bill was there.  And he said, you know, never waste a good crisis, and when it comes to the economic crisis don’t waste it when it can have a very positive impact on climate change and energy security. And that’s what we’re trying to do. [emphasis added]

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics announces that the jobless rate climbed to 8.1% the previous month.

       NOTE: John Williams, publisher of ShadowStats.com, disputes these numbers as a deliberate understatement to make Federal intervention efforts look better.  Using the same Federal criteria that were practiced during the Great Depression, the jobless rate at the end of the previous rate is really 19.1%.
