Do you have any idea how rightarded you look? Any idea at all? I really don't think you do
You're [falsely] claiming there were 131.8 million jobs at the
end of 2000. But the link you provided shows that was the
average for all of 2000,
not the year end total. You then [falsely] claim there were 136.8 million jobs at the
end of 2008. But the link you provided shows that was the
average for all of 2008,
not the year end total.
But the best part ...
did you look at YOUR OWN LINK for January, 2009, when Bush left office....133.5 million jobs. NOT the 136.8 million you're trying so desperately to fluff Bush with.
Your idiocy explains perfectly why you rank the president with the worst employment record in your lifetime, as one of the best.


HOw can this be a "FALSE claim"?
I'm not making the statement up!
This is from
http://www.citizen.org/documents/Historical_employment_data.pdf
Which was downloaded BEFORE the Bureau of Labor Statistics has CHANGED the numbers.
But it is totally a FACT.
HISTORICAL EMPLOYMENT HISTORICAL EMPLOYMENT
B-1. Employees on nonfarm payrolls by major industry sector, 1960 to date (In thousands)
Doesn't say it is an average. It says at the end of
End of number employed:
2000...... 131,785,000
2001...... 131,826,000 41,000
2002...... 130,341,000 -1,485,000
2003...... 129,999,000 -342,000
2004...... 131,435,000 1,436,000
2005...... 133,703,000 2,268,000
2006...... 136,086,000 2,383,000
2007...... 137,598,000 1,512,000
2008...... 136,790,000 -808,0000
the total for the 8 years 5,005,000 jobs created!
But MORE importantly WHY aren't you taking in account the nearly
2,500,000 jobs in due to 9/11,
400,000 jobs lost due to worst hurricane SEASONS 7 of the top 10 hurricanes occurred during 2001 to 2008!
300,000 jobs skilled technology workers were out of jobs due to dot.com bust...
3,200,000 total jobs lost to the above events which have NEVER occurred to any President in history!
If those 3,200,000 jobs were NOT lost Bush would have created over 8,205,000 jobs!
NO matter how you ignore it those events changed the job picture! NOTHING else has EVER happened in such a cumulative effect as the
Recession..dot.com bust..9/11... and 7 of the top 10 hurricanes... ALL which costs jobs, businesses and YOU ignore that!!!
Why is that so hard to admit... these events occurred! The events cost jobs! Nearly 3,200,000!
What is Obama's excuse???
Can it be Obama WANTS unemployment because his EPA, his HHS is doing everything possible that EMPLOYERS are telling him are costing jobs.. not making jobs!
Bush would NEVER be this stupid to say:
Obama said: "if somebody wants to build coal utility plant its just that it will bankrupt them,![/I][/B][/COLOR]"
And then he orders the EPA...
EPA itself estimated that its ozone standard would cost $90 billion a year, while other studies have projected that the rule could cost upwards of a trillion dollars and destroy
7.4 million jobs.
Boiler MACT Rule: EPA's Boiler MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology) standards are so strict that not even the best-performing sources can meet them, so many companies will have no choice but to shut their doors and ship manufacturing jobs overseas.
The rule has been projected to reduce US GDP by as much as 1.2 billion dollars and will destroy nearly 800,000 jobs.

Now tell me which President seemed intent on increasing jobs and not destroying jobs?
