Nope, Obama has just been cleaning up the mess Shrub made. Shrub made so many screw ups it has taken six years to get it only half cleaned up. The Iraq mess will still take another six years, and we're just about half way back from the economic mess Shrub made.and six years after a democrat is in office, all of his screw ups are Bush's fault.ANYTIME a Republican is in office during a presidential run the Democrat news outlets scream bloody murder about how it's the most horrible economy ever in the history of mankind. When a Democrat is in office it's the opposite.yah, blame the sitting president for the collapse of the economy in his final two months. But Reid,Pelosi,Bwarny Frank had nothing to do with it? anyone suspicious of the timing of the 2008 collapse?You do know that Bush had 102 Million under/not employed Americans when he left, don't you?how can anyone brag about the Obama 5.4% unemployment rate when we all know it really closer to 35%? in other words, 93 Million under/not employed Americans represents 5.5(ish) per-cent of America?
You know I had a turkey sandwich for lunch yesterday, don't you?
^^^FUX news Koolaid overdose^^^^and when Bill O'Reilly ripped Barney apart over the idea to give away new homes to poor people,and then the economy collapsed, Barney pretty much responded, 'Oh Well, Shit Happens, we just need to deal with it, i have my summer home on Cape Cod and a few nice cars, thats all that matters.yah, blame the sitting president for the collapse of the economy in his final two months. But Reid,Pelosi,Bwarny Frank had nothing to do with it? anyone suspicious of the timing of the 2008 collapse?You do know that Bush had 102 Million under/not employed Americans when he left, don't you?how can anyone brag about the Obama 5.4% unemployment rate when we all know it really closer to 35%? in other words, 93 Million under/not employed Americans represents 5.5(ish) per-cent of America?Funny how when Shrub had 5.4% unemployment, cons touted it was real.

Shrub totally destroyed both the U.S. economy AND the GLOBAL economy! No other president in history has done that. When Shrub left office this country was losing a million jobs per month. And moron cons whine because Obama has not only cut unemployment in half, and brought economy back from oblivion, but also ended Shrub's stupid wars, and given American's healthcare they can afford. The steaming pile of horseshit is the GOP, AND THE MAJORITY OF THIS COUNTRY KNOWS IT! Cons have gone down to defeat on healthcare, equal rights, the confederate flag, voter I.D.'s, and Trump bigotry just this past week. You got nothin!!!!!And that is a big old steaming pile of horse shit!Of course, of that 93 million, only 6 million want a job. The rest are housewives, students, disabled and retirees.The poster clearly said "under/not employed" so that means you add 12+ million unemployed plus 7.9 million underemployed for Bush's total.
Okay. Then the valid comparison is to use this for Obama:
Not in Labor Force 93.6M
Unemployed 8.3M
Part Time for Economic Reasons 6.5M
(I'm not including marginally attached as they should already by in the first figure).
This total is 108.4M.
So after adding $8T to the debt, all we have is 6.4M more people who are under/unemployed/not in the labor force.
Thanks Obama!
The GOP house added all that debt.
Thanks Republicans.
That's a big old heaping pile of Sophistry, bub.
As one of your Bright Lights of the Left has claimed: Unemployment Insurance is an economic stimulus. Obamanomics pays people to not work; and the ACA further discourages full time employment via penalties to employers and the handling of subsidies.
Thanks Obama!
Yes, it is horse shit. Obamanomics and the ACA are steaming turds.
Does this include retired folks?A record 93,626,000 Americans 16 or older did not participate in the nation’s labor force in June

Forgive the Millennials. They hate pesky things like critical thing and fact checking.only those with an IQ of 25 or under, those in a coma and cockroaches actually believe we have 5.4 unemployment.

That's why the U-6 rate, which is the real unemployment rate, has been so high during Obama's presidency. It was much lower under Bush, under Clinton, and under Reagan.
Funny you didn't acknowledge these numbers when Bush was in office. What you said was that anyone who didn't have a job is to blame and if they want they should go back to school or start a business. So why the change of heart?A record 93,626,000 Americans 16 or older did not participate in the nation’s labor force in June

I call bullshit on your 3 million more illegalsActually, when you look at Obama's numbers, they're pretty depressing, especially in light of the US having over 3 million more illegals and the transition of full time jobs to part time jobs...
Obama s Numbers January 2014 Update
The Real Unemployment Rate and the Dearth of Full-Time Jobs - US News
The New American Dilemma
Obamacare is one reason for the rise of part-time labor.
By Mortimer B. Zuckerman Jul 23, 2014
There was a distinctive odor of hype about the newest jobs report from the federal government. Most people will have the impression we created 288,000 jobs in June – meaning full-time jobs. Not so. Full-time jobs plunged by over half a million, or 523,000. What’s increased is part-time jobs. They soared by about 800,000 to over 28 million. Just think of all those Americans working part time, no doubt glad to have the work, but they also have lower pay, diminished benefits, and a lack of job security. And then there’s the effect on self-esteem and the stress of managing a household.
Yet all the attention earlier this month wasn’t focused on part-time America, but only because the government and headline writers treated part-time jobs as if they were full-time jobs. There is a crying need for good, well-paying, full-time jobs, yet only 47.7 percent of adults in the U.S. are working full time. Yes, the percentage of unemployed has fallen, but it’s worth barely a Bronx cheer. It reflects the unsavory fact that 2.4 million Americans have become discouraged and have dropped out of the workforce. You might as well say that the unemployment rate would be zero if everyone just quit looking for work.
The loss of full-time jobs is the new American dilemma. What matters more than the quantity of work is the quality. Even worse, the June employment rate was itself deceptive. Previous harsh weather forced numerous schools to extend classes into June, which created jobs for the month that would not normally have figured in the totals.
In the immediate excitement of announcing 288,000 “jobs,” most commentary, taking its tone from President Obama’s “we’re making progress” statement, ignored or glossed over the real story: The disturbing trend to lower-quality, part-time jobs. Last month the ranks of involuntary part-timers swelled to 7.5 million, compared to 4.4 million in 2007. Way too many adults are dependent on the low-wage, part-time jobs that teenagers would normally fill. On top of that unwelcome record, the number of people who’ve been out of work for more than six months is around 3 million, well above the historical average. And the proportion of Americans working or looking for work is near its lowest level since the late 1970s.
Rather than face this accelerating deterioration of the American workforce, the government seemed to take refuge behind the positive headlines. We have to worry that we’re creating a two-nation state, a workforce permanently polarized with full-time workers on one side and the part-time workers stuck in a bin labeled “part-time for economic reasons.” Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen had it right when she said, “The existence of such a large pool of partly unemployed workers is a sign that labor conditions are worse than indicated by the unemployment rate.”
There are a number of reasons for our predicament. But there is one political contribution to the dismal trend. Many employers cut workers below the Affordable Care Act 30-hour threshold and took on new part-time workers to fill the void. Sometimes two people worked the same number of hours as one had previously worked.
Is that progress? It sure isn’t when “the country has 10.4 million people looking for work, another 3.3 million who have given up the search as futile, 14 million on disability, and 37 million who have retired,” according to Thomas G. Donlan in a Barron’s editorial earlier this year. For the unemployment rate to decline substantively, the U.S. needs to generate above-trend growth. But it’s gone the other way. We are averaging roughly 2 percent growth in GDP over the last half-dozen years.
No wonder the number of people leaving the labor force entirely is running at about double the pace of new job creation. But the longer people stay out of work, the greater the erosion in their skill set, and that can make finding a new job even tougher. The ranks of the unemployed who have been looking for work fruitlessly for at least six months is now at 33 percent, compared to around 22 percent in past recessions. And of those who are unemployed for the long-term, only 10 percent actually end up getting a job.

like the ones who never watch the news/keep an eye on the stock market, their main concern is Kim Kardashian's ass and sex life, Taylor Swifts new Album, and waiting for their next welfare check to spend on "Stuff".Forgive the Millennials.

Yeah, it's even lower than that.only those with an IQ of 25 or under, those in a coma and cockroaches actually believe we have 5.4 unemployment.
but when we had a real unemployment level of 5.4 per cent under Bush, Nancy Pelosi crapped her pants on live TV as she was bitchin about it!Yeah, it's even lower than that.only those with an IQ of 25 or under, those in a coma and cockroaches actually believe we have 5.4 unemployment.
There is so much I want to say. For right now all I'll say is can you imagine what the world would be like if the American people would have voted for Al Gore to be President? We certainly wouldn't have gone through the 10 years of hell we went through. Or could you imagine if Obama would have been handed the presidency right after Bill Clinton? This country would have been in much better shape right now. The Republicans can't deny that George W Bush Tom DeLay Dennis Hastert John Boehner Mitch McConnell and Dick Cheney ruin this country. And Obama put it back together again all while being teabagged. Greatest president ever. Had to deal with almost as much as lincoln didNope, Obama has just been cleaning up the mess Shrub made. Shrub made so many screw ups it has taken six years to get it only half cleaned up. The Iraq mess will still take another six years, and we're just about half way back from the economic mess Shrub made.and six years after a democrat is in office, all of his screw ups are Bush's fault.ANYTIME a Republican is in office during a presidential run the Democrat news outlets scream bloody murder about how it's the most horrible economy ever in the history of mankind. When a Democrat is in office it's the opposite.yah, blame the sitting president for the collapse of the economy in his final two months. But Reid,Pelosi,Bwarny Frank had nothing to do with it? anyone suspicious of the timing of the 2008 collapse?You do know that Bush had 102 Million under/not employed Americans when he left, don't you?
You know I had a turkey sandwich for lunch yesterday, don't you?
Imagine if Mitt Romney got his way one in 2008 he would have bankrupted the big 3 to break the union. Imagine how low wages would be if we didn't have union workers making union wages. There is no doubt that that would bring all of our wages down because without unions what would keep corporations from permanently keeping wages down? Competition? What competition? People think unions are no longer necessary but they are absolutely necessary. Even though I don't belong to a union I understand their value and importance to the American middle class. Keep in mind my brother is a vice president internationally he has to deal with unions all over the world so it isn't like Americans are the only workforce that are unionized. In fact workers of other countries are even more of a pain in the ass than we are. The cost of doing business in a great country is you have to pay your taxes and pay your employees well. Nobody in Switzerland is making four dollars an hourNope, Obama has just been cleaning up the mess Shrub made. Shrub made so many screw ups it has taken six years to get it only half cleaned up.

WTF?? Are you saying 5.4% unemployment under Bush was real but not real under Obama??but when we had a real unemployment level of 5.4 per cent under Bush, Nancy Pelosi crapped her pants on live TV as she was bitchin about it!Yeah, it's even lower than that.only those with an IQ of 25 or under, those in a coma and cockroaches actually believe we have 5.4 unemployment.
