the mail. i'm not adding the san jose shark. the the snark is in the original. you could wait for september, or you could just read our plan for jobs now. that would be the plan that includes the stuff that president obama has already been proposing this week to which republicans have responded by going, hmm, we hate your bus. so to the extent that there is an argument that the president should try to work cooperatively with republicans to come up with some consensus solutions, him proposing their ideas and them saying no, should probably end that argument. how do you negotiate with people who refuse to take yes for an answer? and this my favorite thing in the political press for the entire week. some anonymous democratic senator told "the los angeles times" this week that president obama better not be confrontational with republicans. he needs to keep trying to work with them. the senator said, quote, one senate democrat says voters are tired of the partisan back and forth, and it would be a mistake for obama to present congress with a large-scale high stakes j

the shade study that they have conducted concluded this. by adding the additional 16 feet to their building as shown on the upper right, we will be losing the sun much earlier in the day during the summer months and in the winter stand to not get any at all. there has been an argument put forth that since some of our sunlight that comes into our home is dapled by neighbors' trees, the additional height of their new house won't actually affect the light into our home. well, we take great issue with this because while some of the sunlight that illuminates our home is dapled by our neighbors' trees, dapled or not, this is sunlight into our home. the proposal will completely block our light. they're almost doubling the height of their current structure. so the bottom two drawings exhibit ideas put forth in plans by george howser referred to as the neighbors' design. i am in support as the neighbors' design, it takes the bottom level of the house 4 1/2 feet down to grade. thereby decreation the overall height of the building and preserving some of the sun

these are the jobs added and lost over the last 12 months. these have improved nicely as you can see for a while. look what happened in may. it fell off of a cliff. in 3 1/2 hours, we expect to learn that the u.s. economy added 70,000 and 80,000 last july. net new jobs minus jobs lost. if that's true, it's bad news. if fewer jobs were added, that's really bad news. the unemployment rate is 9.2%. all of it raised the dipper. "the new york times" thinks it could be happening. it feels a topic on "ac 360" last night. this was said about it. >> let me be clear, right now we need to focus on making sure we don't have a double dip recession. >> we're frail and i think there's a real danger of a double dip recession. >> before we move on, let's put what happened on thursday in perspective. not going to break out in a rendition of "don't worry be happy," but listen, it's the ninth biggest point loss on thursday. but percentage drops, it was the 116th worse, that's not very historic, is it? more history -- steep vallese and peaks but followed by sure

the private sector added more than 150,000 jobs over the last 17 months, we've added 2.4 million in the. now we've taken heavy blows the first half of this year but we got to grow our way -- we have a long way to go. we're going to need to grow our way out of this and having sort of broad based job growth across a lot of industries as we saw in this report is definitely a good start. >> it still is not enough to keep pace with population growth. it's not enough for real recovery. so what do you do? i mean the president is talking about initiatives today for veterans to try to help the 13.3% unemployment rate among those veterans who have served since 9/11, which is appalling, but aside from small steps that can be taken, what broadly can the president do especially with so much opposition in congress? >> well, i would say first if the economy is coming back, that's going to make a very big difference. second, on specific policies, as i said last month, even if this is better than expected, it's still a call to action. we have a long way to go. i guess i don't understand why we don't do
