Worst day since 2008 financial crisis

Results don't matter to a liberal unless it is a Republican. Wonder what your comments would be today if these numbers belonged to a Republican?
On a scale from 1 to 10, just how blind do you rate your own hypocritical projection?
 
Yep, liberals have no interest in actual results, just the smile and the rhetoric. 49% in NY? LOL

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 24+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch!
In 2008 Bush handed Obama the worse job loss (2,590,000) since 1945 which was 2,750,000. Even worse than Reagan's job loss in 1982 of 2,130,00. Nov. and Dec. of 2008 were 2 straight months where the economy lost over 500,000 jobs.

Total 2008 job loss: 2.6 million - Jan. 9, 2009

And of course that justifies the following results

Not since Bush's Great Recession ended, he hasn't.

Seems that the 2011 results are worse than when he took office thus he is reponsible for those numbers. Let me know when we get a net job gain? How many more millions do you think will drop out of the labor force this month?

Still living in the past. Thanks to the Democrat Congress that helped generate those results and these

You know many of the jobs lost are government jobs thanks to conservative policies. What percentage of those jobs during Bush were government jobs and not private sector one?

so this is 2011 and the job losses of 2008 are justification on your world for the job losses today. There are 2.9 million fewer employed today than when Obama took office and there are 25 million unemployed or under employed Americans. GW Bush never had those kind of numbers. Interesting that you would focus on 2008 and not 2011, 2 1/2 years after Obama took office. You obviously cannot defend the Obama record.

In the real world there is no fix-the-horrific-mess-the-Republicans-created-(again) button. Obama was saddled with a real estate disaster of epic proportions that, to a large extent, will simply have to work itself out over time. Of course there were also millions of people working in the construction and real estate industry and the finance industry that lost their jobs. Obama can't snap his fingers and put those people back to work.

Try to see reality. Take off your wingnut goggles for five minutes.

Republicans created? Who controlled the Congress from 2007 to 2011? Who had a blank check to fix the problems? Obviously you have never run anything because you cannot delegate responsibility. I find it interesting that we are 2 1/2 years after Obama took office and are still blaming Bush. Did you ever take a civics class?

Don't put words in my mouth, I mearly pointed out that the economy got its severe form of cancer before Obama entered the WH. Lending institutions were not lending the much needed cash businesses to thrive. They laid off people as a result, this in NOT President Obama's fault no matter how much you say it is.

Banks concocted $14 trillion of toxic assets that S&P rated AAA between 2003 and 2008

The patient is dying on Obama's watch. Didn't he inherit a AAA credit rating from Bush?

The credit downgrade was done by the same outfit (S&P) that should be held responsible for the financial meltdown. Where in the so called liberal media see that pointed out?

Conservatives Wish Journalism Didn't Exist | Media Matters for America

The main difference between liberal and conservative media critics is that the latter would prefer that journalism just didn’t exist. That’s why conservative media criticism is less concerned with making reporting better than it is with making sure reporters don't ask big business pesky questions.

Don’t believe me? Take a look at Dan Gainor’s piece at FoxNews.com, in which Gainor goes after liberal billionaire George Soros and the “widespread influence the controversial billionaire has on the mainstream media.”
