The Republican/Conservative Misery Offensive.

Next up...Obabble's "year of action"... As opposed to the last 5 years of inaction/failure.

PRAISE is now due to Obumbler.

It may have taken FIVE long years, but the inept leader IS now able to derive his lesson.

Waffling, dilatory inaction and a lack of sense of urgency (or even direction) tends NOT to yield particularly solid results.

Sadly, the Republican Party leadership seems unable and unwilling to learn ITS own lesson. You cannot "deal" on the level with a miserable bunch of back-stabbing cock-sucking weasels, like the modern day Democrat Parody.
 
I have no clue about your sexual preferences, Sallow...but your criteria for the last 5 years to be rated successful appear a tad weak.

I'm a raging heterosexual as my girlfriend can attest too. Have no idea why that is part of this post or why my success criteria is deemed "weak".

When you hit the marks and are successful that is considered what?

Failure?

The funny thing is - is that we don't have any idea what you guys consider "failure".

Reagan was bitching about Deficits and Debt with Carter. When he got into power he tripled them. He deregulated the financial industry which led directly to bailouts.

You guys were bitch about Deficits and Debt with Clinton (even though he lowered them) then when Bush got into power he went on a wild spending spree. He defunded regulators and guess what? The debt and deficit went up and we had to bailout the financial industry.

Seriously confusing.

What is confusing?? When you hit ten percent of your marks, that can't be defined as successful. When your signature target is totally missed...that can't be defined as successful. I suppose AQ is still on the run also?


Who are you talking about?

The stimulus hit the exact numbers it was sized for.

Al Qaeda is on the run. The life expectancy of most Al Qaeda leaders can be measured in weeks.

And the ACA? With the exception of the website? Is doing pretty good. Which is why Republicans are no longer talking about repealing it. Pretty soon? They are going to try and "own" the idea. :lol:
 
Nice attempt to distract. But it wont work. Obamacare is not going away in 2014.- it will only get worse. It's a slow motion train wreck. All the republicans have to do is sit back and watch it implode.

2014 will be a landslide for the GOP.

Distract from what?

You guys said the ACA was "costing" jobs.

You see the November jobs report?

November jobs report: Unemployment falls to 7% - Dec. 6, 2013

There's been steady GROWTH since Obama took office.

So are you lying?

less people are working today than when Obama took office... Less people are working today than last year on this day.

You're so lost in the bullshit it's not even funny swallow.

Actually, the number of people working is about the same today as it was a year ago and as it was in January 2009.

See for yourself:

Employment Situation January 2009: Number of civilian labor force employed: 145,299,000

Employment Situation February 2013: Number of civilian labor force employed: 141,608,000

Most current Employment Situation: Number of civilian labor force employed: 143,212,000.

Slightly higher than a year ago, slightly lower than when he took office. Certainly not impressive.


The labor force participation rate for this time last year and now is identical, even though the size of the labor force is higher now.

The meltdown in the labor force participation rate began years before Obama took office, by the way.

Ahh we've gone over this a million times.

In February 2009 as a response to the unemployment crisis, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. However, the unemployment rate continued to rise. It was in October of that year when it topped 10%. It flat lined at 9% for the next two years. The promise was that it would drop the unemployment rate below 8% and keep it there, it didn't. It didn't drop to under 8% until a full 3 1/2 years later. The drop in the unemployment rate is due to factors that don't involve job creation.

As of December 2013, 917,000 people left the workforce. Baby Boomers, or disgruntled job seekers; what have you. The UE rate dropped a full 2% under Obama's watch If you add it all up, 91.8 million people are not in the workforce in some fashion or another. Mind you not all of these 91.8 million people are Obama's fault. But his policies have certainly added to the problem.

So, g5, it's disingenuous to give credit to Obama for this falling unemployment rate. It has nothing to do with what he or his party has done in the past 5 years.

Could you share data you have on labor force participation ?

None of them are Obama's "fault" any more than the 81.2 million, up from 71 million, Bush passed on to Obama are Bush's fault. But I'd like to know how Obama's "policies" caused the Baby Boom in the 1940s and 1950s before Obama was even born???????
That rationalization should be priceless!

LPR started to decline with the Bush Coup.

Back than they were calling it a "fake indicator". :eusa_shhh:
 
MATH is not a myth.

Your numbers are.

I wonder what the workforce participation looks like on the same kind of scale.

In Reagan's time, people actually started to think they could find jobs.

Yeah.

Reagan did that by spending LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of Federal Cash.

Squaring away the military isn't cheap.

He also cut taxes.....gave the country confidence....and started a pretty good boom.

Obama just seems to be going in the other direction.
