Unemployment numbers

This week's unemployment claims numbers came out this morning. The numbers were terrible, much worse than expected. Are these the first people put out of work on the Gulf due to Obama's drilling freeze? Are these just the biginning wave in a double dip recession (let's hope not). No one knows for sure why the numbers were so bad. Let's hope that they turn out to be an aberration. Still, this is more bad news for Obama at a point when he surely does not need it.

Things are so bad that Robert Gibbs may soon try to turn the conversation back to a discussion of Joe Sestak's job offer since it will not hurt Obama as much as the current mess.
