I know plenty that were employed until Obama started his political shenanigans of 'Hope'...Of "Change"...I belong to no party unlike you and the rest of the flock.
Bam Bam is the one who said unemployment creates more jobs than a project that will actually pay people to work. you can deny it all you want but the fact is he said it.
Now why would he say that if he wanted people to get off unemployment and get jobs?
The answer is that if people get shit for free they will keep voting for the people who will give them shit for free.
Really? You think so little of Americans that the goal is "unemployment benefits"? Are you sure? Do you know anyone unemployed?
Unless.
You are describing yourself. Is that it? You think because you only want "benefits" and not to take care of your family or put your kids through college that it's what all Americans want?
And they see what's going on.
Obama had better be getting a resume together.
Come on now. Be honest. These were the facts in 2007, back when you guys were pretending that the fundamentals of our economy were strong and it was just unions that were the problem. Because you didn't want to admit that GW's way failed. Because you wanted more of the same McCain to win. Remember back then? Then once you couldn't deny the economy was bad, you quickly shifted the blame to Pelosi and Reed. Now Obama. Just remember, this was in 2007.
