Where are the jobs, Mr. President?

[kiwiman127]

Despite getting 100% of his policies implemented (whether by a Nancy Pelosi Congress or by unconstitutionally bypassing Congress with his "pen") over 5 years, all we have to show for Obama's marxist policies is record unemployment.

Where are the jobs, Mr. President? Progressive policies have destroyed America

Where are the jobs? That's a good question. It'd be a better question if it wasn't from a far right opinion resource which goes on the attack constantly? When people use the HuffPost, does your stomach turn?
Anyway, I thought we had a group known as the jobs creators and the government should just get smaller anyways, doggone it!

 

[P@triot]

95% of financial gains have gone to the richest 1% since Obama has been President, so in what way has Obama restrained economic growth?

Yeah - kind of like how there has been more "job growth" under Obama than Bush despite having higher unemployment than Bush....

 

[driveby]

The President controls the economy? Interesting.

Obama has said on several occasions that he would be "focusing like a laser" on jobs. Sounds like you're calling him a liar. Maybe it was just along the same lines of telling people they can keep their healthcare plan.....

The only thing pubs will allow is phony debt crises that cut growth 1 per cent each time, MORONS.

 

[edthecynic]

Oh yeah? Really RW? Then why is unemployment higher under Obama than it ever was under Bush?

The fact that you believe more jobs have been created under Obama is comical. When Bush was in office, unemployment was already low so there weren't that many jobs that could be created. When Obama stepped in and blew up the U.S. (and world) economy costing 13 million jobs, it's not really that impressive if 4 million are "created". He still has the biggest net loss in U.S. history (sans the great depression - which not coincidentally was overseen by another ignorant Dumbocrat).

Bush was given an unemployment rate of 4.2% and left office at 8.1%

Obama has lowered his rate from 8.1% to 6.7%

Any other questions?

By not counting more and more workers.. by giving more and more of those not working government disability... the labor force participation rate is the lowest in 40+ years... the jobs that are allegedly 'gained' are less than the ones leaving the workforce... sounds like a loss to me and any other person who thinks logically

That is exactly what happened during the Bush Regime, so why didn't it matter then?????

Bush left with 80 million not in labor force, 10 million more than when he started and he didn't have Boomers retiring. Disabled increased by 6.4 million. Unemployed doubled from 6 million to 12 million. And we are still told how great the Bush economy was!

Show some integrity and show the year by year unemployment under Bush.
When you do, you'll notice the unemployment rose once the dems took control of the senate and congress. Just an observation...

See, now presidential policies do NOT control the economy under Bush, only under Obama!

So tell us, what policy did the Dem Congress get passed a GOP Senate filibuster and passed over a Bush veto that created the policy that killed the economy once the Dems got control of Congress?????
You won't because there was no such policy change, and you know it!

 

[francoHFW]

Bush's economy was ANOTHER corrupt Pub bubble and bust...at least the Dems don't do that...

Bwahahahahahah!!!!

The day Bush left office unemployment was at 7.8%. It has never been below 8% during the Obama regime of terror (lowering it because people have given up and permanently left the job market because Obama has promised them permanent unemployment does not count chief. Any other lies you want to attempt??? Please note all of the accurate statistics below which outline where they were the day Obama was inaugurated:

But you DID count it for Bush's UE rate!!!!! 10 million dropped out of the labor force during the Bush Regime that YOU did not count as unemployed, and they were not Boomers retiring like under Obama.

 

[DriftingSand]

Since wealthy private corporations have more money than ever before in history then why can they not afford to hire more workers or raise wages?

If Obama takes their money away then they won't be able to hire anyone at all and will end up laying lots of folks off. Is that what you want?

Smart businessmen become rich because they're smart businessmen. If you want to be rich then become a smart businessman. Forcing them to give YOU more money won't make you rich but it will make you greedy.

 

[francoHFW]

Rott, if you believe Obama caused the Booosh depression of 2008, you're a brainwashed functional MORON. Not to worry, you've got plenty of company. CHANGE THE GD CHANNEL!

The Dems don't create bubbles? Are you kidding me?

Have you ever heard of Jimmy Carter, Barney Frank, and Bill Clinton? Oh ... and have you ever heard of the housing bubble?

[AntiParty]

Ask the coal and oil industry what? How Obama has restrained their record profits?


Why didn't the Teabagger Party ever protest Bush for bailouts, domestic spying, deficit spending, increasing the debt, etc. etc. etc.? Why was it only when a black Democrat was elected that the Teabagger Party decided that "enough is enough"?

Why is that?

Why do you go off topic with our original discussion? Why is that?

But to answer you about the tea party....they didn't organize until 2009. true story

Why did the Teabagger Party organize in 2009 instead of when Bush was spying on Americans and killing and torturing and wasting trillions of taxpayers' dollars? Why was every Teabagger silent until a black man was in the White House?

Why is that?

Factual profiling?

the president controls the economy? Interesting.

actually, yes he does - in a roundabout way. It is the job of the president to insure that the private sector can operate and grow within a capitalist system. Obama has done everything he can to insure the death of the private sector.

bullshit: If you have proof post it or be know as a liar!

we have endured 5 years of obama and during that time - there has never been job growth of a substantial nature. Corporations are hoarding their cash like misers with the intent of waiting this fool out - and hoping that the next president allows job growth.

this may be true, but why? What would/could a romney or palin do to grow jobs?

obama is constantly talking about raising the "minimum wage" and "overtime pay" but to what ends? To stifle job growth; to make damn sure that employers do no more hiring.

to help the working men and women of our country! That's why!

this president is the most anti-job president in the history of the united states. Period. End of story.

bullshit, that comment is probative evidence you're ignorant.

Yeah, this economy is just rolling along nicely, isn't it dickhead. That's all the "proof" that I need you bootlicker.

My God! Folks like you will need extensive therapy after the 2014 elections.....

Yeah, funny how it only blew up when BOOOOOSHIES took over 75% of the market and theiir regulators rated junk as A+, insured and bundled it and sold it around the world. You're a 90% chance racist brainwashed functional moron. Absolutely

Name a jobs bill the right didn't filibuster. Then carry on..........

Until then, this is not an actual thread..

More jobs have been created during Obamas first five years than eight years of Bush

Jobs created during U.S. presidential terms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why would we want to elect Republicans again?

Obama numbers are so fudged. How many people have left the work force all together who is not counted in the unemployment rate. Under Obama there are more people who have given up looking for employment.. But think what you want Labor force participation is at lowest point since 1978, says Texas Sen. Ted Cruz | PolitiFact

The President controls the economy? Interesting.

Presidents control their policies and agendas. When they say that their policies "work" or that they will yield jobs and the jobs don't develop, it means it is time for a course correction if it is jobs you want.
