Guy Davies, an inspector with the Florida Division of Plant Industry, checks an orange tree for the insect Asian citrus psyllid that carries the bacterium causing disease, "citrus greening" or huanglongbing, from tree to tree on May 13, in Fort Pierce, Fla.  Davis is part of a team trying to track the movement of the insect. There is no known cure for the disease that forms when the insect deposits the bacterium on citrus trees causing the leaves on the tree to turn yellow, the roots to decay, and bitter fruits to fall off the dying branches prematurely. Steps continue to be taken to try and combat the disease, but none have stopped the attack on the citrus business as it spreads from Florida to other citrus producing states.

President Obama spoke to approximately 750 workers and guests about his long term plan to protect consumers against rising oil prices and decrease oil imports while ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more secure energy future.

Msnbc.com’s John Schoen reports:

This week’s stunning news of the death of Osama bin Laden gave President Barack Obama a much-needed bounce in voter opinion polls just as the 2012 president campaign grinds into gear.

But the glow could fade if job growth doesn't accelerate.

The government reported Friday that employers added more than 200,000 jobs for the third straight month, the biggest hiring spree in five years. But the politically sensitive unemployment rate rose to 9 percent from 8.8 percent, in part because some people resumed looking for work.
