Where he started, 142.2 million employed to 139 million? 12.6 million unemployed to 15.1 million. That is definitely liberal improvement, LOL

Do you always buy the leftwing spin and ignore actual results? They are making you look foolish and laughing their asses off.

And what Obama inherited: economy shedding 700,000+ jobs per month, GDP shrinking at 6+% per year, financial institutions teetering on the edge of collapse, trillion+ deficit.... Nice improvement.

rightwing presidents always destroy the economy and rack up debt with their big spending, big govt programs
 
You really don't understand trickle down economics at all. The backbone of trickle down is more spendable income in the hands for the taxpayers.

Not only have you bastardized supply side theory to the point of no return, you fail to incorporate consumer debt into your framework.

That alone is evidence that you are just making **** up as you go along piecing partisan talking points together.
 
You have shown no evidence that you have a clue what went on in the 80's and what Reagan inherited. Too bad because that has blinded you to the present and the disaster in the WH

reagan began the rightwingers love of deficits, big spending, big govt, and HUGE debt. The rightwingers don't have a clue on how to build an economy without racking up crushing debt
 
Yes, just like Bush inherited 5.7 trillion from Clinton. So inheriting 10.4 trillion from Bush makes it ok that Obama has increased it to 14.5 trillion? Interesting liberal logic. Deficits are yearly and add to the debt. obama spending has added 4 trillion in less than 3 years. Guess you slept through the past three years and still blame Bush for Obama spending

Clinton inherited the debt from republicans like reagan

thanks to bush*. the rightwingers in DC always screw up the economy. It takes a dem to fix it

haha the dems? You have got to be kidding me.

No bush* handed Obama 12.6 million unemployed and he started creating jobs until the repubs won the house. bush* handed Obama 142.2 million working Americans and the repubs in the house turned it into 139 million. rightwingers apparently thought bsuh* di such a great job that they took the bush* job destruction pgm results and made them worse

How did Obama create jobs?
 
I find it amazing that the Obama disapproval rating is over 50% and my bet is the 25 million unemployed or under employed Americans aren't impressed by the Obama record

I find it amazing that the republican disapproval rating is over 60% and my bet is the 25 million unemployed or under employed Americans aren't impressed by the teabagger record
 
I am sure that the 25 million unemployed or under employed Americans are impressed by the analysis of the newspayer of the Reagan legacy.

Here's a chart that shows job creation in the private sector BEFORE the repubs won the house

The fact is, jobs in this country depend on the creation of more credit to fund useless consumer spending. Most service jobs are dead end, low paying jobs with no hope of a decent, liveable wage. This county needs more solid industry jobs, but how can Americans compete with low wage workers in a third world country? These problems are more complicated than people seem to realize.

so wait, you expect me to believe a source called "3chickspolitico" and if I don't, I have to disprove your unproven assertion?

A picture is worth a thousand words

the historically slow recovery:

Nearly two years after the economic recovery officially began, job creation continues to stagger at the slowest post-recession rate since the Great Depression.

The nation has 5% fewer jobs today — a loss of 7 million — than it did when the recession began in December 2007. That is by far the worst performance of job generation following any of the dozen recessions since the 1930s.

In the past, the economy recovered lost jobs 13 months on average after a recession. If this were a typical recovery, nearly 10 million more people would be working today than when the recession officially ended in June 2009.

Paraphrasing Clinton's "It's the economy, stupid" - "It's the population, stupid."

- Having a fast breeding underclass, importing millions upon millions of high school drop-outs, creates the problem you highlight. Commodity labor, aka unskilled labor, can be had all around the world, so price for that labor will find an equilibrium. Too bad for us that the equilibrium is lower than what it takes to earn a living in the US.

- The US is one of the highest cost of living societies in the world. The liberal penchant for extreme real estate zoning laws prices a home on a 10,000 SF lot to the value of a home with a 15,000 SF. All of the government mandates on employees come at a cost, which is why California's regulation zealotry is driving businesses from the state.

Liberals claim that their efforts are directed towards creating "the good life" for who doesn't appreciate efforts which force employers into giving Muslims a prayer room to use during the day or forcing employers to prohibit their sales forces from not entertaining clients at nudie bars because this disadvantages female sales reps. There are costs associated with all of these interventionist efforts and these costs increase the feasibility of creating and maintaining jobs.

- As Rumsfeld noted "You go to war with the army you have" well, there's little a president can do about getting rid of the stupid in our society and undoing all of the past liberal intervention, so political choices are more tightly constrained when it comes time to find a political solution.

- Sometimes we all have to sleep in the bed that liberals made for us, whether we like it or not.

LOL!

LABEL YOUR AXES!

or you're gonna FLUNK fifth grade---again

among the stupidest posts i've ever seen
 
As a non-partisan, that marxist crap just gets old after a while.
I certainly agree. I cannot wait for the end of the one term Marxist president Obama's regime. Please join me in strategizing for a regime change.
 
As we don't have such a union here, and tax payer money did save jobs, who should I demonize? :coffeepap
Why that is up to you, of course.

The one term Marxist president Obama's chief goal for the stimulus was to stimulate his voter base through the liberal supply of taxpayer dollars to public sector unions. It worked. For a while. Now everyone realizes that the Marxist Messiah is incompetent. The smart money is on anybody but Obama.

And yet another misguided right wing zealot that doesn't understand what marxism is, thinks that Obama is a dictator and is completely incapable of seeing the error of his ways.
 
You claim to lean independent, now that is funny as there is nothing independent about your posts, all leftwing
Don't be too hard on him. When the party is so far left anyone even slightly to the right will (mistakenly) believe they are independent.

Well, he doesn't seem to be able to comprehend the errors of his ways.
