Unemployment goes up to 8.3%-Obama takes full blame -you didn't get there on your own

[bripat9643]

Oh Puhleeeze! We've all heard the "it's all Bushes fault" excuse a million times already. That's wearing quite thin. Even if Bush caused the problem, Obama promised he would fix it. He hasn't.

If all that spending was bad for the economy, then how is tripling down on it good?

Those jobs were lost because of what Bush put in motion before he left. Two wars unpaid for, tax cuts unpaid for, jobs sent over seas resulting in unemployment, new welfare and food stamp receivers, homes in default, homeless ness and hunger. The 2008 "worse economic crash in history.' 8.2% that would have been 20% if not for Obama's policies. Get you head out of your butt and take off the blind folders. We are better off than we were 4 years ago.

“It’s starting to get better,” says survey respondent Kelsey Simeon, 21, a mechanical-engineering student at California State University, Sacramento, in a follow-up interview. “Strip malls that were empty are starting to fill up. Everyone’s going out to eat more. People are spending more money on non-necessities: clothes and iPods.”

More Americans now say they are personally better off since President Barack Obama took office than worse off, the first favorable reading for the president on that question since Bloomberg began asking in December 2010.

Thirty-eight percent say they are better off while 36 percent say they’re worse off. In September, the last time that question was asked, only 27 percent said they were better off and 44 percent said worse off.

Now that Papa Obama failed, the left has nothing else to say

Back in February 2009, the Obama Administration promised the American public that after their nearly trillion dollar stimulus too effect, the unemployment rate would drop down to 5.3% at the end of his first term.
Today it’s at 8.3%.​

The Wall Street Journal reported (Feb/2009):

The 2010-2013 forecasts are slightly more optimistic than CBO but much rosier — in some cases by well over one percentage point — than what the Blue Chip Consensus calls for. A separate private-sector gauge, the Survey of Professional Forecasts, also projects a much weaker economy this year and next.

The unemployment rate at the end of President Barack Obama‘s term in 2013 will be just 5.2%, according to the White House. The rate currently sits at 7.6%, and many economists expect it to climb past 9% before the recession ends. A report Thursday showing jobless claims at a 26-year high supports the more pessimistic forecasts, at least in the short run.​

Why don't you explain how Congress's budget is going to create jobs.

Congress appropriates funds for projects and material requirements necessary to administer the enumerated powers of the Federal government which makes its way into the pockets of the private firms, shareholders and employees meeting those approved needs.

So, Congress has streamlined the process. Now they appropriate the funds, which then make their way into the pockets of private firms owned by the members of Congress, their family members, and their major contributors. Screw that bothersome chore of administering the enumerated duties of the federal government.
