Thank you, President Obama!

[old navy]

The facts are that Obama has done more to restrict economic growth and the lowered UE number is due to the 1 million discouraged workers that are no longer counted. The more telling employment number is the low amount of citizens that are currently employed. A little over 60 percent have jobs and that is the lowest in 25 or so years. Also, the paltry GDP growth is anemic at best and is a very dangerous predictor of our future.

How many jobs would Keystone have involved?

 

[Stephanie]

are they facts?

doubt it. but you believe them if you wish

 

[editec]

The game partisans play is to pretend that the POTUS they didn't like somehow destroyed the jobs, or the one they do like somehow created them.

What I truly wonder is this?

Do you partisans really believe what you write?

Seriously?

 

[Truthmatters]

Heres the real deal you fact adverse cons.

The American people aint buying your hate filled rants.

You are killing your party with your obvious insane level of hate for your president.

You are the dividers and the American public is seeing that more and more every day.

Go look at Obamas approval numbers and then look at the republican approval levels.

your killing your party.

thanks

1) The administration was not bent on war with Iraq from 9/11 onward.

Throughout the year leading up to war, the White House publicly maintained that the U.S. took weapons inspections seriously, that diplomacy would get its chance, that Saddam had the opportunity to prevent a U.S. invasion. The most pungent and concise evidence to the contrary comes from the president's own mouth. According to Time's March 31 road-to-war story, Bush popped in on national security adviser Condi Rice one day in March 2002, interrupting a meeting on UN sanctions against Iraq. Getting a whiff of the subject matter, W peremptorily waved his hand and told her, "Fuck Saddam. We're taking him out." Clare Short, Tony Blair's former secretary for international development, recently lent further credence to the anecdote. She told the London Guardian that Bush and Blair made a secret pact a few months afterward, in the summer of 2002, to invade Iraq in either February or March of this year.

Last fall CBS News obtained meeting notes taken by a Rumsfeld aide at 2:40 on the afternoon of September 11, 2001. The notes indicate that Rumsfeld wanted the "best info fast. Judge whether good enough hit S.H. [Saddam Hussein] at same time. Not only UBL [Usama bin Laden].... Go massive. Sweep it all up. Things related and not."

Rumsfeld's deputy Paul Wolfowitz, the Bushmen's leading intellectual light, has long been rabid on the subject of Iraq. He reportedly told Vanity Fair writer Sam Tanenhaus off the record that he believes Saddam was connected not only to bin Laden and 9/11, but the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

The Bush administration's foreign policy plan was not based on September 11, or terrorism; those events only brought to the forefront a radical plan for U.S. control of the post-Cold War world that had been taking shape since the closing days of the first Bush presidency. Back then a small claque of planners, led by Wolfowitz, generated a draft document known as Defense Planning Guidance, which envisioned a U.S. that took advantage of its lone-superpower status to consolidate American control of the world both militarily and economically, to the point where no other nation could ever reasonably hope to challenge the U.S. Toward that end it envisioned what we now call "preemptive" wars waged to reset the geopolitical table.

After a copy of DPG was leaked to the New York Times, subsequent drafts were rendered a little less frank, but the basic idea never changed. In 1997 Wolfowitz and his true believers--Richard Perle, William Kristol, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld--formed an organization called Project for the New American Century to carry their cause forward. And though they all flocked around the Bush administration from the start, W never really embraced their plan until the events of September 11 left him casting around for a foreign policy plan.

If that was the case, the Obama and his comrades in arms would have 100% approval instead of him being in the low 40's after ONLY three years.
but oh well

I like how the narrative is changing from "Obama is destroying the economy" to "the economy is growing, in spite of Obama, if only a Republican were in office we'd be so much better off"

 

[Truthmatters]

they lied us into war and you marched in locked step like so many idiots on parade

 

[KissMy]

Thank you Obamacrats for destroying so many jobs since you were elected to power in 2006.

yeah, unemployment is moving by leaps and bounds (200,000 jobs)..so we should all thank Obama

You have been posting that chart a lot and claiming somehow the Democrats taking over Congress in 2006 is the root of this.

I find this funny considering that the chart shows that the job market fell off the cliff along with everything else when the market crashed in 2008 and even then you can't link to what legislation the Dems passed (and Bush signed) from January 2007 (when they really took over) up until the market crash of late 2008 that made this happen.

In other words, you live in a USMB right wingnut fantasy land.

No worries though, you are far from alone.

I am thrilled that people are going back to work. Any breakdown on how many were "created by the stimulus". Just curious.

 

[Truthmatters]

Any breakdown of when you will stop being partisan hacks?

 

[chanel]

Thank you once again for that useless post.

I found this curious. There may be someone "mucking up" the numbers.

New numbers on the economy came out today, revealing some seemingly positive trends, such as a drop in the unemployment rate. One of these numbers is a major drop in black unemployment, from 15.8% to 13.6%, a huge jump. On the surface, it's good news.

Allen West, however, isn't having it -- he thinks someone may have tampered with the figures.

"Can someone tell me how employment in the black community has improved at a rate three times the national average in just a few months?? With numbers like today, urban communities should be well on their way to economic recovery then! There is something suspicious about the job numbers released today and it has me very concerned," West wondered Friday. "Is this dramatic supposed decrease in black unemployment a result of job creation or is someone playing around with the census numbers??"

The numbers presented indicate a massive drop, one that we've never seen before -- and one that doesn't seem to reflect actual experience. Even economists are questioning the numbers:

YOU BET? But you were not supposed to notice the 2 million dropped from the roles during his term.
