For all of the cons that think Obama is the most incompetent President of all time but that he is also cooking the books, please explain how he has managed to get an entire government department to fall in line on this.

Democrats took power January 1, 2007. Just look at their disaster!
Wait a second....I keep hearing that "government doesn't create jobs" But yet here you are blaming it all on Democrats. Mighty convenient for you, isn't it?
The economic collapse is what caused this and no matter who is in office, it would have been a long term fix.
The economic collapse was the fault of not one side or the other....both had their hands in it. The factors were bi-partisan. When Glass-Steagall was repealed, the GOP sponsored the bill, and Clinton signed it into law. When NAFTA was put into place, once again the GOP sponsored it, Clinton signed it into law.
In 2001, GWB gave China most favored nation status....which means a permanent trade partner. And once again, America suffered.
So with banks largely de-regulated, manufacturing leaving town for slave labor rates and brand new state of the art factories that China builds on THEIR dime.
The collapse came. The days of wine and roses were over....there's plenty of blame to go around....it isn't just the GOP, it isn't just the Dems.
In fact, the private sector has 1000X more to with this shit than either political party. They are the ones that lobby for this stuff, they are the ones that are, by far....the largest group of campaign donors....They buy the rules that help them and leave the rest of us to rot....they have no loyalty, patriotism, or love of this nation....they are only concerned with power and money.
I agree with much of your post.
However, the part I boplded took away much of its credibility.
I do not blame the ones who bribe. I blame the ones who take the bribe.
The private sector can do anything they want to try to get congress to make decisions in their favor.
Once congress makes those decisions, I blame congress.
When my son asked for the keys to the car when he was 12.....was he wrong for asking or would I have been the wrong one if I gave them to him?

Unemployment fell to 7.8% last month to a 3.5 year low!!
Coincidence that Obama has been in office about that long? NO!

Of course you don't. These people aren't 12 and this isn't the keys to the car. Stupid analogy.
We have a rigged political system in which it takes a hell of a lot of money to compete, let alone WIN a National election. It's not a matter of corruption, it's a matter of simply running for office....Then, after you're in....the lobbyists come a calling....Remember your boy Boehner passing out checks on the House floor from the tobacco lobby? I'm sure there's plenty of other examples from both sides that we never hear about.
The bottom line is that once you're in their pockets....and you simply HAVE to be just to get elected....they have you.
You lost much credibility with me for excusing the actions of the private sector. In order to have what the AM Radio boys call "critical thinking skills" Those skills need to be applied across the board. Not just at the people you don't agree with.
actually, you are full of shit.
If you support gay rights you would not have used "referring to me as gay" as a joke as you did.
And my PMing was nothing more than telling you to delete your posts where you changed my post and then quoted it with the changes.
If you were comfortable with your own sexual preference, you wouldn't have run crying like a bitch to the mods and then PM'd me begging me to not call you out as gay.
Let me say it one more time:
I support your right to be gay and find that special someone. I'm just not interested because I'm a heterosexual.
ha ha
So much for the GOP's 8% UE talking point.
Unleash the conspiracy theories!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at the numbers a bit. Only 114K new jobs.
Bad.
.
They stopped looking.
.
And your answer is what?
The first Obama stimulus was successful in keeping cops, firefighters, and teachers on the payroll. Now that everything's been frozen since 2010, those folks are losing their jobs. And the Fed is giving money to rich folks in the "hope" the private sector will pick up the slack. It has..but very very slowly.
So what would you do?
Look at it this way....
If you have a hole in a boat...and as you plug the hole, you make oither holes.....plugging the hole will do very little for you.
Yes, the tax cuts were continued, but more rehulations to appease the far left were implemented; The Affordable Care law was lassed; and cap and treade is still in the dialogue.
So telling business owners...."here, we gave you more of your earned income, but we are taking it from you in other ways" will result in business owners doing exactly what they are doing....waiting to see how much Helathcare will cost them per employee and whether or not cap and trade is pushed through when Obama no longer cares about re-election.
A decision to hire is based on an analysis of cost to hire and return of the hire...coupled with any other anticipated INCREASE in operating costs.
actually, you are full of shit.

I ask again....why do you think it is apporpriate to use homosexuality as a means to make a joke or cast an insult?
The Right will always manufacture a fantasy to replace ANY news they don't like. That's why this one was so easy to predict.

It's over for Romney.
Nothing left but the lyin.
lol...love the hidden message in bold. Creative. Well done.I ask again....why do you think it is apporpriate to use homosexuality as a means to make a joke or cast an insult?
I don't see Homosexuality as an insult.
And neither should you.
Just accept who you are and what you are.
You will be much happier.
Did you reach out to that other guy in the thread who likes you?
