Obama says private sector "doing fine" - YouTube


The man is out to lunch....................

He's just telling you he wants to buy public union jobs,, errrr votes!

 

[iamwhatiseem]

His point, clear to anyone who understands English, is that private sector jobs are growing and the big drag on employment are state and local government layoffs. It's also a point that happens to be true.

That is not what he said. That is your broad interpretation of what he said.....really broad.
Period.

Soo... far be it from me to break in on this bubble fest, but...

Has private sector hiring not increased every month for the last 2 1/2 years?

Has public sector hiring not decreased for almost every month over that time period?

Have corporate profits not dramatically increased?

Has GDP not increased at a pretty good clip over that time period?

Did the DJIA fall back beneath 7000 while I had my head turned?

So, I'm not really seeing where what he said was incorrect here.

Perhaps you can help me.

As far as I can see, the only reason unemployment is still at 8.2 percent is that so many people have been laid off in the public sector.

public sector jobs are the driving forces behind bankrupting the states. Hello

You know if O came out and said that this economy is effed up bad and my policies aren't working, I need help...his numbers would probably rise.

I agree... it would show he acknowledges the issues and has empathy. All i see with this is the lie, the spin...and campaigning

Same here. Just total disdain for the people.

Obamanomics- Just say things are a-ok, and that'll make it so.

And public sector jobs need to stay gone. Those people need to find jobs in the private sector. In case you hadnt noticed we are near bankruptcy and can no longer afford to grow the govt sector. Walker gave you guys a solution and you spit in his face.

Whether they need to "stay gone" or not is not the point.

The point is that they are gone, and therefore unemployment has stayed high.

Private Sector jobs have been rising steadily since about Feb 2010.

Which was his point.

If you want to complain about unemployment, then you must acknowledge what is causing said unemployment.

Mistrust of Obama and his policies plays a large role in why we are stagnant. Admit it or not, I dont care.

public sector jobs are the driving forces behind bankrupting the states. Hello

Actually, the reason why the states suddenly went bankrupt is that tax revenues suddenly dried up thanks to the economic collapse.

And they have been firing their employees ever since.

Are you going to blame Obama for the economic meltdown now too?

No, but I will partially blame him for this shitty recovery.

I will admit that at many points, Obama has shown a lack of leadership which has had quite a negative effect.

But "a large role in why we are stagnant"? We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

There are many, many factors as to why our economy is stagnant, and, honestly, few of them have to do with presidential policy.

Fair enough. He was in charge, after all.

Flip and flop:


Obama: 'It is absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine'

The president, in response to a question Friday afternoon in the Oval Office, backtracked somewhat on his comments his morning that "the private sector is doing fine."

"It is absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine. That's why I had a press conference," Obama said.

LOL

I there not a clear difference between "the private sector" and "the economy" as a whole?

Is there something I'm not seeing here that makes this a "flip-flop"?

Are corporate profits not in fact higher than they've ever been?

Is wall Street not up over 6K points since Obama took office?

Has private sector hiring not steadily grown?

The left constantly says the 99% are suffering. So which is it? And I'd also like to point out wallstreet is not main street.

My business while rebounding is still lagging far behind where it was in 08.

 

[Nova78]

Obama is a buffoon

 

[NYcarbineer]

So all those Republican governors in the swing states are going to disagree with Obama?

lol

Hopefully they all follow in Walkers footsteps.

Yes but that would be hard, and take courage, and a conscience.......

AND being truthful....that's the big one!

Ahh, those are good points.

Points that have more to do with income inequality than the state of the private sector economy.

Also about huge multinational corporations pushing the little guys out of business.

You may want to talk to Congress about that. Tell them to change international trade laws so WalMart stops taking over main street.
