Could it be that offshoring well paying jobs and replacing them with shit retail jobs that make 1/3rd the money be a possible reason, huh? We can't buy the crap they make offshore if we can't afford it... (read the articles below, apparently the professionals in the money market are SURPRISED by this outcome. Man, we are so boned...)
Oil is now $44/barrel... terrorism and peak oil starting to show their heads? Way to make us safer *, incite terrorists with your petty skullcracking and doing jack shit about weaning us off oil... x(

He needs to say he'll bring back the good paying jobs. Just before the election is when he should go into details so * can't hijack the words but still do jack shit about putting words into proper practice.
Corporate CEOs need to give up a small amount of their multibillion profits and give back to the people of this country who helped them up. And that's by giving us our jobs back. (Hell, nobody at Microsoft can continue to say "Nobody's ever lost a job because they worked with Microsoft products." MS is shipping jobs offshore as well, not to say the corporate trend of ditching PCs in favor of this thin client centralization bullshit that the money pinching CEOs don't realize the full implications of!
