So, while O'Bomber's spin machine in the White House is attempting to set up high school commencement speech opportunities for O'Bomber to pontificate and bloviate about all his "accomplishments"; high schools are staying away..in droves.

High Schools not lining up to invite Obama to speak at graduation

This is truly pathetic - and a sign that the magic of Obama and his hold on youth is disappearing faster than you can say "$14 trillion in debt." CBS News:

The White House is ramping up an effort to promote a nationwide competition to decide which high school wins a commencement speech by President Obama.

An internal White House memo indicates that the White House is facing a shortage of applications less than a week before the deadline.

The competition was extended from the February 25 deadline until Friday, March 11 after few schools met the original application deadline. CBS News has learned a White House Communications Office internal memo dated February 22 noted "a major issue with the Commencement Challenge."

"As of yesterday we had received 14 applications and the deadline is Friday," the memo said. The memo also urged recipients to, "please keep the application number close hold."

A follow-up memo on February 28 reported receipt of 68 applications. Noting the competition among more than 1,000 schools last year, the memo said, "Something isn't working." It called on staffers to ask "friendly congressional, gubernatorial and mayoral offices" to encourage schools to apply.

"We should also make sure the Cabinet is pushing the competition out to their lists," the memo said. The note reiterated, "We do not want the actual application number out there (we didn't release the number of applications we received last year until after the submission period)-so folks should not use it in their pitches."

On Monday, officials declined to cite the number of applications received so far.

The reason the so called unemployment rate went down is because more people dropped out of looking for work and weren't counted as "unemployed".

Further, I'd like to have a look at how that unemployment number is calculated. With all the other lies coming out of the O'Bomber administration, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if O'Bomber changed the ground rules in the middle of the game.

So, you think O'Bomber's doing great, eh katatonic?

Well, listen up.

The budget deficit for the (one) month of February...this year...was greater than the entire year of 2007.
