: Obama Unemployment Rate Above 8% Longer Than Any Other President Since 1948

[The Infidel]

Yep and same as it was with Bush as well.

Sorry, but I dont buy that one... I had worked for damn near 30 continuous years prior to Obama, and it didn't take 6 months before I lost my first job, and 1 year after that, I lost another one.

Obama has been a dismal failure as a president, and a scandalous leader to say the least.

I hate him and hope Romney mops the floor with him in November.

the same numbers game with unemp figures helped Bush's number look better too.

I had a 75K job go to india under Bush.

Fact.

Hmm... that sucks too.


Let me say this though.... I am NO Boosh fan.

I obviously had better luck under his reign than you

Mitt's job creation goal is 12 million jobs over the next four years. The very same number analysts expect current policy (i.e. Obama's) to generate over that timeframe.

Obama has a record and that record is a net loss of jobs. Four more years?

Dont you want an Obama phone???

Who needs a job when you can get an "Obama phone" and food stamps. "We love him!!"

 

[The Infidel]

Thanks Boehner & McConnell for sitting on your hands for the last two-years

And Harry Ried is blameless???

Where is that budget?

Where is that budget?

The budget for this fiscal year (beginning today) and last was agreed to last year, not in a resolution but in a law.

The Budget Control Act is the budget for FY12 and FY13, in that it sets the budget levels for the government (which is what the budget resolution normally does; in this case they had an actually piece of legislation that went to the president for his signature do it).

Surely you heard about this. Pointless standoff over the debt ceiling over a year ago resulting in the BCA setting the budget for two years. Conservatives won cuts in the budget that they're now very, very angry about and desperately trying to undo.

Is this ringing any bells? It made all the papers.

Of course we've heard of the BCA. Here's more information about it in case anyone is interested:

fyi-CNS is not a news site. It is ''Birther site''

but taking bls's information. it is true that U/e has been hovering at 8% for a while, however this housing boom bust, wall street crash, and banking crash of 2007/2008 was as bad or nearly as bad as the ''1929 crash/great depression'', which cns conveniently fails to mention....and cns gives Reagan 8 years to pull the U/e rate up while comparing it to giving obama 4 years....apples and oranges....outside of that, I'm with USCitizen....

I believe unemployment will stay high, around 7% for quite a while, and globalization has a lot to do with it....which wasn't present for most of the decades cns uses to compare obama to....but we live with it every day, more and more jobs being shipped overseas....less jobs here, to be had....I don't see this changing back to the good ole days.

The only true glimmer of hope that I can see is when all of the baby boomers start retiring, this will perhaps open up their jobs for those folks who are younger.


and also, cns failed to mention that u/e was around 4% when president bush took office and was around 8% when he left office 8 years later....that's a 4% increase in the U/e from start to finish.....and granted, he was dealt a lot of bad hands as well....that needs to be considered when looking at those numbers....
You all need to do the same for President Obama...look at the hand he was dealt....

looking at obama, his first full month, feb 2009 to now.... it's around 8% when handed u/e and 8% now....AT LEAST IT IS NOT 4% higher...

numbers can obviously be viewed from many different angles, CNS chooses to select and choose those numbers to view republicans as gods and dems as scum....and it is as obvious as the light in day.

The Obama apologizers. Obama is a dismal failure you people are a joke if reelected we will likely see another depression in this country. My G-d you people are pathetic

EPA THREATENS FOUNDATION OF U.S. ECONOMY

As the EPA creates thousands of pages of highly questionable new rules on CO2 emissions, they are rapidly becoming the high priesthood over our economy and the lives of every man, woman and child in America.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seems to be on a drunken binge to impose increasingly economy-killing regulations to reduce CO2 emissions. These new regulations are based on flimsy pseudoscience and what amounts to religious tenants of faith that humans are destroying mother earth. Nonetheless, the EPA claims that current air and water emissions endanger human health. The most ridiculous of these assertions is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

CO2 Emissions and Global Warming

Nearly a half of the U.S. electricity production is from coal and another 23 percent from natural gas. Only 2 percent comes from wind and solar.

The United States (U.S) currently produces nearly 70 percent of its electricity from coal and natural gas; both of which emit millions of tons of CO2. Because of their near-religious belief that this is causing global warming, relentless environmental pseudoscience has convinced President Obama that this perceived warming will destroy the earth. Obama has therefore committed the U.S. to drastically reduce CO2 emissions by converting to green alternative energy, which currently only produces 4 percent of our electricity, even though it will “cause energy prices to necessarily skyrocket.”

Economy-wrecking cap and trade legislation has been introduced in Congress over the years to force the U.S. to go to green energy. Although Americans rejected all of these efforts, President Obama had a backup plan; have the EPA create regulations without Congressional approval

So zealous is the EPA in ignoring real science that it had to bend the Clean Air Act to the breaking point to implement its new regulations. The Act requires the EPA to regulate any facility emitting more than 250 tons of pollutant a year (in this case CO2). According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, however, this would include “literally millions of small entities — big box stores, apartment and office buildings, hospitals, schools, large houses of worship, Dunkin’ Donut shops.” It would also require an army of 230,000 full-time EPA employees, producing 1.4 billion work hours to administer, cost billions of dollars and wipe out millions of jobs, year after year.

Unemployment Rate Above 8% Longer Than Any Other President Since 1948?


Harry Truman was RE-ELECTED in 1948.

oops....

 

[BBCAmerica]

Four more years? What a failure and a joke of a president this man is. Congratulations Obama you are the man!

Excluding January 2009, the month when Barack Obama was inaugurated, unemployment has stayed above 8 percent, which is longer than under any other administration since the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) started measuring the monthly jobless rate: Over 8 percent for 43 months during Obama compared to a total of 39 months above 8 percent between 1948 and 2008.

Over the course of 50 years, the unemployment rate in the United States was above 8 percent for a total of 3 years and 3 months; under Obama alone, the rate has been above 8 percent for 3 years and 7 months.

Also, no other president presided over three consecutive years of average annual unemployment of more than 8 percent before Obama, according to the BLS data.

You are cheating. Obama not only inherited the unemployment rate that other President's have had and made better in less time. He also got the worst deficit, the worst GDP, crashes in the stock and housing markest, not just 1 but 2 wars that were never paid for and inflation out the ass, oh yeah and the lowest tax revenue in 50 years. But every other President was able to do something that Obama can't. RAISE TAXES. He can't raise taxes because the Republicans won't let him. They wont let him because their loyalty is with Grover Norquist and not the American people. We need serious reform in the form of serious budget cuts, limited entitlements, and yes as bad as it may sound we need to raise taxes. The Republicans have people so against raising taxes that they think it's the devil. No budget has been balanced without raising taxes. No wars have been faught without raising taxes
