OH and by the way, the stimulus worked. OBAMA WILL WIN IN 2012. I GUARANTEE IT.
And if he doesn't, how will you pay off the failure to achieve your Guarantee?

Hopefully he will issue a tearful apology to all those he hurt and pledge to go into rehab for his psychiatric illness. And take a 5 years' leave from this board.

Your math is wrong. Yes it's true that in order to have an LF participation rate of 65.7%, as it was when Obama took office, the LF would need to be 3.5 million more than it is now, but that does not mean that there were 3.5 million who were unemployed and are now not in the labor force. As a matter of fact, Unemployment has gone up. The decline in the LF participation rate is because Employment is lower by more than Unemployment has gone up, and fewer people are joining the Labor Force upon entry to the population.The only reason unemployment is at 9.1% is because 3.6M people have given up looking for work.
You have it backwards. You're talking ast though LF participation going down causes Unemployment to go down. Which is ridiculous. The LF participation rate goes down because either employment or unemployment goes down by more than the other OR because the population goes up more than employment and/or unemployment go up.A falling Labor Force Participation Rate is a very damaging way to reduce unemployment.

My wife's boss owns several fairly large and one very large privately held corporations. One of those corporations is the largest, (Public or private), in its industry in the US and the World with many thousands of very well paid and compensated employees. I have been told by one executive who works directly for my wife's boss and worked for her father, (for many years), who founded her Parent corporation almost 60 years ago that she and her corporation and all of its subsidiaries are sitting on tons of cash. Literally well over one half billion overall. She will not allow her CEO's to expand any of her businesses in any major way until Obama is out of the White House. And this despite the fact that the parent Corporation I'm thinking of and many here have heard and seen on a daily basis made RECORD profits in 2010. All things being relative, the sooner Obama is out of the White House and anyone...I mean anyone else it sitting in the Oval office, the sooner trillions of dollars will be released by big business Chairmans and CEOs for business expansion and job creation. Either 2012 or God help us 2016.
Bush made things way worse.
Obama has made things better since Bush made things WAY worse.
You just deny the facts like the CBO presented in the OP
Good input. Businesses simply can't afford to expand in this climate of uncertainty and anti-business attitude from the government.My wife's boss owns several fairly large and one very large privately held corporations. One of those corporations, the Parent Corporation, is the largest, (Public or private), in its industry in the US and the World with many thousands of very well paid and compensated employees. My wife, a top level executive is one of her many loyal employees of 20+ years sevice. I have been told by one executive who works directly for my wife's boss and worked for her father, (for many years), who founded the Parent corporation almost 60 years ago that she and the corporation and all of its subsidiaries are sitting on tons of cash. Literally well over one half billion overall is his rough guess. I have no idea how accurate he is on those numbers, but He is in a position to know as he sits on the board. She will not allow her CEO' or COOs to expand any of her businesses in any major way until Obama is out of the White House. For the well being of the Parent Corp., its subsidiaries and the thousands of employees, its just too risky to expand very much not knowing what may be coming in terms of taxation and Government regulations. And this despite the fact that the parent Corporation I'm thinking of and many here have heard of and even see on a daily basis made RECORD profits in 2010. All things being relative, the sooner Obama is out of the White House and anyone...I mean anyone else it sitting in the Oval office, the sooner trillions of dollars will begin to be released by big business Chairmans and CEOs for business expansion and job creation. Either 2012 or God help us 2016.

All you can guarantee is that you will again vote for Obama (10 to 12 times!)

Thats what I did the last time.
You see there is no way Obama beat McCain fairly...
