From Missouri GOP Sen. Barack Obama is in Cape Girardeau today, talking about jobs and job loss -- prompting a spokeswoman for the state's Republican party to pass along this photograph taken in the area.
For the record, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
2007 unemployment rates
Cape Girardeau Co.: 4%
United States: 4.6%
Missouri: 5%




Cute ...
Yet some of the poorest counties in Missouri are are neighbors of good ol' Cape Girardeau -- Scott and New Madrid Counties come to mind. I wonder how the unemployment rate is there.
Typical Republicans: Can't see the forest for the trees.
