US President Barack Obama speaks during meetings with the President?s Economic Recovery Advisory Board (PERAB) in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, DC. Obama said Monday that the US economy will continue to lose jobs in coming months despite exiting a recession, striking a cautious tone on unemployment.

Obama's honeymoon with the American people lasted less than six months. But the fall was soon to come as questions started simmering about the president's ability to pull the US economy out of a nosedive.
