@underdg22 @underdg22 The most consistent low job numbers Bush had were the ones directly following Clinton 3.5%. Go ahead and look at the data just Google “us unemployment data”
Clinton took us from >8% in 92 to <4% in 2000. Then compare 90-92 to 06-08, funny how they both jump at the end of years of Republican policy.
@underdg22 So what your saying is, Government never creates anything of value. I agree.
Great President
Of course the “job increase” had to do with the census worker takers – which are coming to a halt – figures now show there IS NO RECOVERY and NO GROWTH IN JOBS.
@AdamIntellectual7 Except the fact that the job census takers having losing their temporary job figures now show there is NO recovery, and NO increase in jobs. FAIL!
@StanManley Yep-because most Americans are stupid.
@VoIPpoetry Joe Biden = the male version of Sarah Palin.
@ZingZee123456789 He smokes!
@SwobyJ By governments you mean ” elite governments” with nuclear weapons, right? because those ” elite governments” can go anywhere in the world and bomb the crap out of any unlucky “non-elite government”. So you see there is no democracy, even the UN bowes to those governments wishes and impulses, what a joke!!! The idea of losing power over other nationsis scary, isn’t it? Nevertheless, nothing lasts forever.
WAKE UP. . . 431,000 jobs added! But 411,000 of them are temp government workers.
Government takes over GM, government takes over banks, government hiring all the workers — notice a trend here? Obama is already running around the country touting the slight dip in the unemployment rate (9.9% down to 9.7%) and all the mindless Obama followers dutifully cheer, apparently not realizing that they are the ones paying for the ‘recovery’.
@moneymakerisawonderf are you nuts? 431,000 jobs added! But 411,000 of them are temp government workers jobs.
Obama is already running around the country touting the slight dip in the unemployment rate (9.9% down to 9.7%) and all the mindless Obama followers dutifully cheer, apparently not realizing we are the ones paying for what is a false ‘recovery’.
@WinterHaven If Obama thinks Americans are stupid, he underestimates the American people’s ability. Current problems associated with this Administration includes a growing deficit, high unemployment, illegal immigration, obscene cost of healthcare, lack of responses on N. Korea and Iran and now, BP. This has nothing to do w/previous Adminitration. What US needs is a leader that is willing to get his/her hands dirty and solve problems and fix them.
Great news.
@WinterHaven Haha, it’s true. Did you see that comedy ad about Joe Biden called “The Silver Fox” where he’s a salesman for Cognac and he’s in bed with some hottie?
That dashing Joe Biden. He’s just so handsome. He aged well, like Sean Connery.
Here is a great response to Obama’s little Speech…
BULL SHIT!!!
Watch out, the lie hole is open! These two clowns working with the rest of U.S. congress have done everything possible to destroy everybody’s job and standard of living. The U.S. now leads the charge for robbing and destroying everything in the plantant that they can.
@chaumont20 My argument was too complicated for you. I wasn’t saying that all government spending was bad, just that we all have to pay for it through taxation and borrowing therefore census jobs, or other government make work programs shouldn’t be considered some unemployment-busting miracle.
@sphires Economically, Clinton played hot potato and left Bush a collapsing dot-com bubble and Bush returned the favor to the democrats by giving Obama a collapsed real estate bubble. Right now we need real leadership and not someone who’s going to try to use the Fed’s monetary policy to create another bubble. We’re facing a serious debt crisis and the possiblility of stagflation down the road, Obama is not up to this challenge.
I don’t think he can keep all his promises even if he wanted to!!
THank you.
I would like to know why Helen Thomas still has her press credentials and why she wasn’t throw of the Whitehouse grounds after her anti-semitic remarks. Why? The Whitehouse doesn’t belong to Mr. Obama, it belongs to America. Mr. Obama was inaugurated as a steward of this nation…not coronated as king. If Thomas continues in her position, the American electorate will assume that Mr. Obama is Also an anti-semite, though his treatment of the Jewish State is proof enough.
@underdg22 That’s just a red herring; dotcom was another Wall St. speculation issue. Enron was a precursor to what culminated under Bush. I’m talking real world employment data.
If I took the labels off those graphs and asked you draw medium lines through you would see exactly how the graph flows. Still don’t like it? Go look at medium income, child poverty, health coverage, spending, debt, anything. Just show me 1 important piece of data that favors Republican, I’m not sure that you can.
@runman1271 Why are listening to it if you believe it is bullshit? Your stupid ass wasted 12 minutes of your time!
@geofiles Recovery in this country is not even. There are areas that are strong and there are areas that are weak. This economic situation is global, look at Europe. I assume if the president where someone you prefered, you be on the opposite side of the fence and be thankful for the jobs report. The result from this is political bickering and competition. Funny how in 2007, GOP and anti-Obama people like yourself were saying that time wasn’t a crisis.
@sphires Bush was actually very liberal (in the American sense) and that’s why I didn’t like him. He hugely expanded prescription drug coverage and the department of education and ran huge deficits. Bush was no conservative. Obama is just pursuing the same policies as Bush on a larger scale. These terms like Republican or Democrat are pretty meaningless.
