waaa...bush....waaaaaa So sick and tired of the BS whining from the left. The dems took the house and the senate in 2007. Go back and look at the economy and jobs prior to the date the dems took over, then look at it after. O may have inherited something, but from whom did he inherit it? Partially himself because he was one of those dems in the majority that was responsible for creating the mess to begin with. Anyone with a half a brain cell that's been alive for the last 4 years can clearly see how pitiful O has been as president. It doesn't matter what reality is, the left are so enamored with their black president they can't see anything but his blackness (because, let's be honest, a lot, LOT of people voted for him simply because he is half black...I have two liberals in my family and they fully admit that's why they voted for him). So iriewhoever, keep touting your employment numbers that are meaningless, the rest of you obama knob gobblers keep drinking the kool-ade. Oh, and: Last jobs report before election shows economy in 'virtual standstill' The final monthly jobs report before Election Day offered a mixed bag of economic evidence that quickly became political putty for the presidential candidates, with the unemployment rate ticking up to 7.9 percent but the economy adding a better-than-expected 171,000 jobs. At the same time, the number of unemployed grew by 170,000, roughly the same amount -- to 12.3 million. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...ercent-economy-add-171000-jobs/#ixzz2B5hXFCQv
Of surprise you couldn't respond to my post. Thanks for staying predictable. Of course, some people make their living off being dishonest, so their lack of integrity should come as no surprise.
Wow, if you didn't bungle the word "no" by putting "of", that would be the exact same post I made a minute ago.
I looked at you numbers and there's what? Less than 200k more jobs now than 2009. Did we have some silent genocide I missed? Seems to me that our population has actually grown, so less than 200k more jobs doesn't really add up to success... Just saying... No worries, I'm sure pages and pages of eye bleeding copy and paste numbers will silence me...
Did you forget about this? January 2009 Job loss: Worst in 34 years Employers slashed 598,000 more jobs in January [2009] as unemployment rate climbed to 7.6%. NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Employers slashed another 598,000 jobs off of U.S. payrolls in January, taking the unemployment rate up to 7.6%, according to the latest government reading on the nation's battered labor market. The latest job loss is the worst since December 1974, and brings job losses to 1.8 million in just the last three months, or half of the 3.6 million jobs that have been lost since the beginning of 2008. http://money.cnn.com/2009/02/06/news/economy/jobs_january/index.htm Market players were also disappointed by reports that U.S. home prices fell 8.7% year-over-year in November, U.S. housing starts fell 15.5% in December, and weekly initial jobless claims rose 62,000 to 589,000. http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/jan2009/pi20090122_192905.htm On Wednesday, the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial average finished with a loss of 248.42 points, or 2.94%, to 8,200[/B]. http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/jan2009/pi20090114_103250.htm 598,000 Jobs Shed In Brutal January Unemployment Hits 7.6% as Downturn Picks Up Steam The need for progress on those fronts seemed more important than ever yesterday, as the Labor Department announced that conditions worsened more than expected last month. The nation's employers shed 598,000 jobs, the most since 1974, driving the unemployment rate to 7.6 percent from 7.2 percent. If the jobless rate keeps rising at the pace it has for the past two months, it will hit double digits in summer and reach its highest rate since the Great Depression by the fall. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/06/AR2009020601156.html GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: FOURTH QUARTER 2008 (PRELIMINARY) [Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- decreased at an annual rate of 6.2 [later revised to 9.2] percent in the fourth quarter of 2008, (that is, from the third quarter to the fourth quarter), according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/national/gdp/2009/pdf/gdp408p.pdf Continued Unemployment Claims at Record High In the week ending Jan. 24, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 588,000, an increase of 3,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 585,000. http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2009/01/continued-unemployment-claims-at-record.html Conservatives have a conveniently short memory span.
Prove the similarities. Sorry not going to take your talking points as proof. Again, which policies proposed AND implemented by Bush are being proposed by Romney. Thanks.
As we all know the jobless loss rate bottomed out the month he took office and the recession ended before anything he did took effect. And as we all know the economy turned around on it's own after Bush's TARP relief prevent an economic collapse. Not even enough to keep up with population with 23 million people unemployed, underemployed or have just gave up looking. Name a month in the history of our country when a private job has not been added. Still pretending he rode into Washington in January of 2009? We blame him for the job losses and preventing the recovery from taking off and getting the economy back on track. We blame him for the GDP being lower this year than last year and that year lower than the year before meaning not enough jobs to put people back to work. Three and half years after the recession ended and still not enough to keep up with population growth let alone put the 23 million back to work in the full time jobs they need. Horrible numbers in this economic crisis. So when you see a liberal making these phony excuses about it was just too hard for him to fix you know they have nothing left to defend his dismal performance as President. You don't inherit what you helped to create. He's had four years to turn around the disaster he and Reid and Pelosi created and he hasn't. He said if he couldn't do it in one term he would be a one term President. Was he lying. 52 months of full employment, strong economy, declining deficits three years in a row down to $161B.............wouldn't want that would we.
What positive economic news? That's why I mentioned polished turds. Forcing people to take part time no benefits jobs, leaving them with over 4,000 less in household income, doesn't seem worth adding 6 trillion to the debt with Obama's trillion dollar deficits year after year. Only those invested, for political purposes, in lowered expectations for America would celebrate Obama's economic performance.
Ha ha, you Obamatards are funny, but nobody's laughing. So, the big news is that 171,000 jobs were created. Wow! But there were 170,000 additional jobless people. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...e-rises-to-7-percent-economy-add-171000-jobs/ The net result is that there were a lousy 1,000 additional jobs. Let's have a parade and a barbeque to celebrate? And if you follow percentages, the unemployment rate went up to 7.9% from the very suspicious 7.8% that Washington report out last month. Nobody could be happy with this but a liberal Democrat, but I wonder how happy they would be if they were looking at numbers like this after four years of a Republican president? Ha ha!
Those are your numbers, that you presented, as some proof that things are getting better. If those numbers can't even keep up with the necessary jobs demanded by population growth we have a failure... That failure is Obama...
And it's not even close to the 7.1% Gallup predicted that was enthusiastically truth teamed about the other day.
WTF happened to my promised 5.2%? Scumbag-in-Chief BLOWS the biggest issue facing his administration. Fire the Liar!
Liberals want us to celebrate mediocrity and failure. It's a precursor to the effects of the socialist system they desire.

Yes, forecasts of how bad the Great Recession was going to be were off in 2008. Economic forecasts often are.
Forecasts of just how bad the Great REcession would be in 2008 were off. Economic forecasts often are. But only a liar would claim that means they were lying.
