Over 300K people signed up for first time benefits . How is this a gainThat there's the biggie. When President Obama took office, we were losing 700,000 jobs a month. We are now gaining jobs. How do you spin that as bad?
Even under the best economies, people still get fired and companies still down size. The presence of unemployed people does not mean the economy is doing poorly.
Plus, 300,000 is WAY better than we have had in a while. I'd be very happy with that number!
You cons are so stuck on this fallacy that just because Obama was president during a weakening economy, that all or most of the blame can be placed on him. Now, I am not saying Obama hasn't contributed to the recession, but I have yet to read if he actually did for sure and to what extent.
None of you could answer my question - which requires a legitimate source of information that explains the connection between Obama and the economy.
FDRwas reelected TWICE with UE over 7.2%. Pub guilt was obvious then too, dumbazzes.
...increase in unemployment rate during his presidency?
Keep in my mind that Obama said in mid 2009 that he expected the unemployment rate would likely rise to 10% in the next couple of years.

I don't think it's fair to put all of the blame on Obama simply because he is president.
Obama has created 2.5 million jobs and saved even more. I do agree he could have done more (how much?), but I have yet to be convinced that Obama is the reason why the unemployment rate is as high as it is.
I really am open to answers on this. I want answers that illlustrate how his policies have been detrimental on a national level.
From 2001 to 2008, Republicans and the Chamber of Commerce working with China moved millions of jobs to China and closed tens of thousands of American factories. Democrats had control of congress only two years out of Bush's eight. The first six years is when all the damage was done. The last two years of the Bush administration is when six years of dreadful policies started to really take effect. By the time Obama became president, the country was losing jobs at the rate of 750,000 a month. Obama was sworn in during Jan. By the end of Bush's last budget in October, unemployment peaked at over 10%.
Republicans want to pretend the country fell apart overnight and it's the Democrat's fault. But only some either really stupid, gullible or delusional could possibly believe such nonsense. Bush made sure the Democrats couldn't pass anything that could help the economy during the last two years of his administration. Republicans have damaged this country way beyond anything al Qaeda even dreamed of.
Not only that but back in the 30's the democrats were still lynching "*******."
4 times, IDIOT. '32, '36; '40, and '44. Congrats, you're never right.

It doesn't take an economic genius to figure out that the economy is losing fewer jobs than we were in 2008 and 2009. We have had months and months of job GAINS.
States cut 49,000 jobs over the past year and localities 210,000, according to an analysis of Labor Department statistics. There are 30,000 fewer federal workers now than a year ago — including 5,300 Postal Service jobs canceled last month.
By contrast, private-sector jobs have increased by 1.6 million over the past 12 months. But the state, local and federal job losses have become a drag on efforts to nudge the nation's unemployment rate down from its painfully high 9.1 percent.

Typically recoveries are robust, with strong job growth. This one isn't.
Not only that but back in the 30's the democrats were still lynching "*******."
Y'know, bringing that up a 1001st time doesn't make it any more relevant than the first 1000 times.
The problem is those gov't slackers turn out to be firemen, teachers, policemen, and the enforcement of medicare and welfare, etc. LOL

This isn't a recovery. It's the economy trying to crawl out of the quicksand while the Big 0 and his AG keep kicking it in the face.
And you can prove that?
don't fucking need to.. now dew we?
No, YOU don't. You and others on here can keep right on just spouting shit you have no proof of.
Not the same for the candidates you're rooting for to kick Pres. Obama out of the WH, though.

It is only logical that someone who is looking for a new employee wouldn't want some dope smoking STD infected, whining, complaining American scratching their fleas all over his place of business. Better to move to China or India where they know how to use a toilet.
