Just as I thought, you cannot admit when you are wrong. The results today are worse than Bush's and I gave you the categories. Carry on, making a fool of yourself.

Even in categories where numbers were better for Bush than Obama, the record still favors Obama because the economy Clinton left for Bush was nowhere near as bad as the economy Bush dumped on Obama.

Try that argument with you boss three years after taking the job you have and blaming problems on the previous employee? Those that continue to blame Bush aren't smart enough to vote so I would assume you are smarter than that

I wonder exactly what Bush did to create such hatred on your part that you would bring him up on every post?

Don't know if anyone has pointed this out but the U6 employment is at 15.5% (Portal Seven | U6 Unemployment Rate). In addition to this, you have those that argue that the real unemployment rate is 22.5% (Real unemployment rate: 22.5%) and that the numbers have been skewed (The January Jobs Are Statistical Artifacts - PaulCraigRoberts.org).

Actually the real unemployment rate is 54.7% (there are only 141 million people employed in a country of 311 million).

It's time to quit hiding from the real figures and admit the truth ;)

Irrelavent. Hiring an employee in a private firm is not akin to electing a POTUS.

Just as I thought you have no idea what leadership or management actually is yet you blame Bush for the economic conditions during his term. your double standards are quite telling.

I am really concerned with anyone who believes keeping more of what they earn is an expense to anyone. It has nothing to do with math but everything to do with facts. I thought you were smarter than this if you indeed believe tax cuts are an expense.

What's not to loathe in a president who did such a poor job, he scored a record low JAR of 19%?

Keep buying the rhetoric and ignoring the results. You buy what the media tells you and I thought you were smarter than that. Trust but verify. How did Bush hurt you or your family?

Perhaps resorting to ad-hominem makes you feel better, but as usual, it results on you losing the argument as you failed to refute what I said.

And do you support Obama? Or the majority of congress in recent memory? Stop looking for a scapegoat.

I don't need a scapegoat, overall, I think Obama's doing decent job.

Good news for the country, good news for the Democrats, bad news for the Republicans. What do you think? Is the rise temporary? Does it even matter politically? What is causing it?

So what did it drop, like 0.1%? At this rate of 0.1% per term it'll take Obama the rest of his life as President to get us down to the normal 5 or 6%. :D

There were 257K private sector jobs created in January, you'll have to go back to March 2006 to see that many jobs created in one month.

Further Bush didn't promote massive expansion of the govt. preferring instead to let the private sector work.

:lamo:lamo:lamo

That's among the funniest things you've ever said, Con. Bush is the only president since Herbert Hoover led us into the Great Depression to leave office with a net loss of jobs in the private sector ... yet here you are, applauding his dubious achievement.

Conservative said:
Why would anyone who lives in this country agree with what Obama is doing? Do you believe it is your responsibility to pay for my healthcare or to be forced into giving more of your money to the govt. to "help" others when you can do it yourself better?

I was already paying for other peoples' healthcare. Maybe Obama's way will be cheaper.

Conservative said:
I am not happy with what Bush did his last four years but not enough to ever vote for Obama over Bush.

You've already stated you would vote one of the FBI's most wanted terrorists over Obama. That's all anyone needs to know about your agenda.

Conservative said:
When I voted for Bush the U-6 was 9.4 not 15.2%. your selective use of numbers appeals to the ignorant Obama supporter not those who know what is really going on.

When you voted for Bush, there were an additional 4 million people lost to underemployment. Now you complain because there are an additional 1 million. Again, it speaks to your agenda.

It just goes to show that no matter how well Obama does, it will never be enough for these people.

How many more became discouraged in January and thus weren't counted? Keep buying the media spin.

Keep adding your own spin...

And what spin would that be? Don't hear the media talking about discouraged workers do you? Any idea what a discouraged worker is and if they are counted as unemployed? Sorry to see those pesky little facts get in the way of the love affair you have with the empty suit in the WH
