Interesting that you are so focused on discouraged workers ...If obama can get enough people to get discouraged and drop out he definitely could get unemployment below 8%
Well you seem to vote for people that increase debt on a grander scale like Reagan who on his watch saw this nation turn from a creditor nation to a debtor nation.
Anyone that supports Obama can be lumped in with all the other malcontents, unions, govt. employees, and anyone else that lives off the taxpayers. Results never matter to an Obama supporter as long as you get your taxpayer funded benefits.

Suuuure, uh-huh.Obama has made Bush look great in terms of actual performance
Suuuure, uh-huh.
Bush increased unemployment 3.6 points (more than any other president except for Herbert Hoover) from 4.2% to 7.8%. Obama increased unemployment 0.7 points from 7.8% to 8.5%.

Notice how the discouraged workers increased as evidence showed the stimulus program being such a failure. You do know what a discouraged worker is, don't you?
Well, no, for about 54% of people, they still blame Bush for the economy, so Bush's failed policies will remain on the ballot for many.You have a serious problem with BDS, Bush isn't on the ballot in 2012 but the Obama record will be

Yep, I am sure those malcontents, govt. employees, union employees, and minorities looking for a free handout will indeed give Obama a pass for his failures. Interesting how those numbers are changing and why Obama's JAR isn't very good at this point in his Presidency since you seem to believe he has done a good job.
Actually, that number has been rather consistant for some time now. It's a shame you can't debate with reality on your side.Sheik Yerbuti said:Well, no, for about 54% of people, they still blame Bush for the economy, so Bush's failed policies will remain on the ballot for many.

By whom? Only 29% blame him for the economy?Obama is being blamed for the results today

I posed this question before and you ran from it. What exactly is any of the current White House contender offering that wasn't exactly what Bush was offering?

No contender is supporting bailout of the unions or taking over state responsibilities. No contender is promoting Obamacare. No contender is going around apologizing for American and promoting class warfare.
Romney was just recently commenting on how he's mainly interested in helping the middle CLASS, but not so much the upper CLASS or lower CLASS. If that isn't class warfare, according to the silly Republican talking point term, I don't know what is. Of course Obama has also said that he's primarily focused on helping the middle class. The difference is that I believe Obama.
Romney beats the alternative in the WH right now and most people know it. You believe Obama? LOL, now that is funny.
In other words, class warfare is fine and dandy so long as the person pushing it has an R in front of his name.
