President Barack Obama says unemployment is likely to tick up for several months as the economy recovers from its deepest downturn in decades.

The president said Tuesday that renewed employment typically lags behind other signs of improvement as a swooning economy turns around.

More than 2 million jobs have been lost since Congress passed Obama's $787 billion economic stimulus package. The unemployment rate stands at 9.5 percent, the highest in 26 years.

    • Mr. President, more people are losing their jobs.
      Yes, that's part of my plan.
      I meant to do that.
      Err ...

      I ran out of gas.
      I, I had a flat tire.
      I didn't have enough money for cab fare.
      My tux didn't come back from the cleaners.
      An old friend came in from out of town.
      Someone stole my car.
      There was an earthquake.
      A terrible flood.
      Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.
