U.S. Jobless Rate Unexpectedly Declines to 8.6%

It's because of people like you that we have the 22nd Amendment to thank for the survival of our nation.
Given when it became an amendment isn't it more likely that it was a response to the reign of King Roosevelt?
 
It appears that the only thing President Bush and his administration did was to give lip service to a potentially major economic problem they recognized, that is as bad if not worst then just being totally ignorant of what was going on economically durning his administration

The president is not allowed to contradict congressional mandates. Best he can do is executive orders and they cannot contradict existing law. So tell me, what exactly was he supposed to do?

Btw, the jobless rate decline is due to 3 things, seasonal hiring, more dropping out of the work force, and some growth. Those are in order of importance to the numbers.
 
And the reason Congress has such low approval ratings is what?

Ask Harry Reid and the MSM even though it doesn't matter. I won't be voting for your Representative and you won't be voting for mine thus what you think of mine is irrelevant
 
So, please point out in that article what is inaccurate. oh, and without your strawmen, and usual Alenski tactics if you don't mind. Thanks.

He can be a leader of the people and use his position as President to alert the american public as to what is happening with the economy and why.

I think it is a miracle that faced with the economic problems he inherited and the road blocks erected by the lobbyist Grover Norquist lead republican party that our economy has not slipped into a depression
 
And your reasoning now is that because of George Bush, Barrack Obama deserves another term? What is your point?

It's easy to be a Monday morning quarter back, I hear nothing from the conservative party that leads me to believe that they are serious about job creation, let me rephase that I hear nothing from the conservative party that leads me to believe that they are serious about job creation in the USA

You are just sticking to the conservative talking points you want people to believe that any President could turn the economy around in 3 years, it took years for our economy to get to the point of collapse and it's going to take many more years before and if it ever fully recovers

They want to lift the drilling ban. That would create jobs.

And "your" President doesn't have a clue how do to that. Keep buying the rhetoric and ignoring the results. Obama didn't inherit a thing that he didn't help create and only the truly brainwashed believe differently

According to shadowstats the real unemployment rate is 23%. The GWSoupForBrains Great Depression has been his greatest legacy.

My President was elected by the people of the United States of America. You may be able to brainwash some I won't be one of them so keep trying to sell your rhetoric any one with an ounce of sense will understand that it takes time to slow down and turn around an economy that was on the verge of collapse especially when it has to done working against 279 republicans elected to represent the people that have taken a pledge to support the republican lobbyist Grover Norquist

What?? You were serious about relying on a WorldNut Daily article??

Ok, fine, I counter it with a Daily Kos nut article ...



Gramm-Leach-Bliley

Summary of Provisions

-- Repeals the restrictions on banks affiliating with securities firms contained in sections 20 and 32 of the Glass-Steagall Act.


[...]
Provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act

were directed at these abuses:

(1) Banks were investing their own assets in securities with consequent risk to commercial and savings deposits. The concern of Congress to block this evil is clearly stated in the report of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee on an immediate forerunner of the Glass-Steagall Act.

(2) Unsound loans were made in order to shore up the price of securities or the financial position of companies in which a bank had invested its own assets.

(3) A commercial bank's financial interest in the ownership, price, or distribution of securities inevitably tempted bank officials to press their banking customers into investing in securities which the bank itself was under pressure to sell because of its own pecuniary stake in the transaction.

... prove the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act wasn't a Conservative policy aimed at deregulation ...

According to shadowstats, the real unemployment rate was close to 20% when Obama took over. According to them, the unemployment rate under Bush went from about 11% to almost 20%. You see, it's all relative.

Conservative: "Yay, Bush! Four more years!! Four more years!!"

:lamo
 
Good luck getting a lucid answer to that one. :roll:

Uhmm you see he was a Democrat and you see if the world didn't have damn liberals it would be perfect. Damn liberals!
 
Right, I actually took a civics class, you ought to try it. What does my vote have to do with the thread topic?

You're missing the irony......a GWB voter telling others that they shouldn't be allowed to vote......that would be called a "pot".
 
There is a reason Obama has such low approval ratings, maybe you should find out what they know that you don't
Why? YOu obviously didn't learn. Isn't it funny...actually hilarious that the ones crying about Obama the loudest....are allmost universally the same ones that think that GWB was an economic genius and the he was simply "misunderstood"?

You can say the same thing over and over again but that doesn't make it true. The Obama results speak for themselves as does the lies about Norquest. "Your" President has been a disaster and is incompetent.

Solyndra solar power company shuts down 15 months after Obama visit

The Tonopah Solar company in Harry Reid's Nevada is getting a $737 million loan from Obama's DOE.
The project will produce a 110 megawatt power system and employ 45 permanent workers.
That's costing us just $16 million per job.

One of the investment partners in this endeavor is Pacific Corporate Group (PCG).
The PCG executive director is Ron Pelosi who is the brother of Nancy's husband.
But there is nothing wrong here, is there?

how exactly did Obama help create the mortgage crisis?

He was part of the Congress that helped create that crisis, a crisis that he has had three years to correct yet the results speak for themselves. There are over 24 million unemployed/underemployed Americans that cannot buy a home so how is he correcting the problem, promoting class warfare?
