    This is typical of Obama haters who seem to be people who do not know how to read. Mr. Kurtz said things are picking up, not back to where they were. he notes that the Whirlpool plant is hiring 425 workers in Marion County and that hiring is so brisk in Marion Co. that he had to send extra help to handle the load. Granted this is not Knox County but there has been some hiring done here recently, notable Jeld-Wen. People hate the president so much they will post BS and not look at the facts. Be patient. A good economy cannot be downloaded from the Internet like an iTunes song.

    Prove it Mr. Kurtz. The proof is in the pudding not just words.

    Comming from a government employee, I expect nothing less than such an encouraging statement based on what facts.
