Disaster?
Stopped a depression, added 9 million jobs, saved the auto industry, killed bin laden .......not too shabby for a community organizer
If it was true, it would be, but its not. There are more unemployed today than in 2007, more on welfare, more on food stamps, and more underemployed. Plus he has doubled the national debt and made Putin look like a statesman. Bin Laden was found using intel developed during the Bush admin, all obozo did was give the ok to hit him. The auto bailout didn't save anything-------------except the UAW and its donations to the DNC.
What?? There are more people unemployed today (with a larger population) than there were when a real estate bubble was propping up the economy??
You don't say?
Regardless, there are fewer people unemployed today, despite the larger population, than there were when Obama became president.
that is simply not true, they changed the way they count the unemployed to exclude those who are no longer looking for work. its a game and they have you fooled.
No one changed it...people not looking for work have never been included as unemployed (excepting those on temporaty layoff, and, until 1993, those hired but who hadn't started working yet).Until 1967 the interviewer could, at his discretion, list people as unemployed IF the area was particularly depressed and there was clearly no work to look for in their field (a factory/mining town where the factory/mine shut down). But even that specifically excluded many of those we now refer to as discouraged (those who quit looking due to perceived discrimination)
yes, they did change it. now only those who apply for unemployment benefits each week are counted. Those whose benefits have run out or do not apply are not counted.
you also do not mention the millions who are underemployed under the Kenyan messiah's terrible economy, or the doubling of the national debt during his terms.
face it, Obama has been the worst president ever and he is doubling down on that his last year.
