and zoom>>>>>>>right over his head. nice.

What seems to go right over the head of a liberal are actual facts and the failures of this Administration. Barack Obama is a absolutel failure and the best a liberal can do is attack me. Go for it, shows how intellectually challenged Obama supporters are and how out of touch with reality they are.
 
I figured that you were off gulping advil or some kinda pain pills by the dozens after seeing the jobs Obama added and then looking at the clowns the republicans have fielded. Gotta be depressing.:2wave:

Actually I was too busy counting discouraged workers and people dropping out of the labor force. Takes a long time to count to millions. What is depressing is how compassionate liberals don't seem to care about those 24 million unemployed/under employed Americans and how they trumpet 8.3% unemployment while ignoring the 15.1% unemployment and under employment
 
Who are you to decide what someone else can afford and whether or not the services provided aren't enough? What you show is indeed you aren't too bright as you expect the Federal Govt. to do what you apparently cannot do for yourself, provide for personal responsibility issues. I answered your questions, no my problem that you don't like the answer.

For you to have answered my question requires at a minimum that you understand it. As it's apparent that you don't understand it, why on Earth do you believe you're even in a position to judge that you've answered it? Which you haven't.

U hit the nail on the head.the jobs are no were to be seen and the republicrats are fielding the three stooges as their answer.lies,lies and more lies.

Another typical diversion from you when caught doing what you do best, divert from the answers given. I answered your questions, the poor are getting healthcare and an education but you would rather buy the liberal rhetoric that says they aren't.

Ummm, Con ... I didn't ask if the poor are getting education or healthcare nor did I say they weren't. You remain comfused. Perhaps you should go back an re-read what I asked? This time for comprehension.

It really is time for you to drop out and go back to working for a living focusing on what you can control instead of apparently claiming you know what others need.
 
Nope, depends on how many more drop out of the labor force and aren't counted as unemployed.

Classic Con: spout numbers like a faucet when they're down -- question the very validity of the numbers when their up. :2rofll:

It's a pity you don't understamd the question. An enjoyable debate among reasonable adults could have otherwise followed.
 
No doubt there are are some. I'm not one of them, nor is Obama or most liberals.


Says you. I'd like to take you at your word, maybe that is possible when you earn back the trust needed for that.

Classic liberal compassion, the 24 million unemployed/under employed don't count, 8.3% unemployment! Yay Obama!!

When I find an adult liberal I will be happy to engage them in an honest debate. Liberals however are never honest nor are they adults.

By that definition, you're a flaming Liberal. ;)
 
Whatever you two...:doh We all know the books on this crap are cooked, all one has to do is look around and see that.

Problem is Obama want's you to not believe your lyin' eyes. :2wave:

Right, the difference is people dropped out of the labor force and are discouraged workers instead of being counted as unemployed, more than double what Bush had

Apparently that is the change you believe in and enjoy. The more that drop out of the labor force the better the unemployment rate and the more you give him credit for. Try being intellectually honest for the first time in your life.

That you even think the number of discouraged workers has anything to do with weekly jobless claims reveals how little you know about the sybject you whine about daily.

That you ignore the reduction in the labor force, the increase in the number of discouraged workers during the Obama term, and the growth in the U-6 rate is quite telling yet you point out a decline in the weekly jobless claims as if those translated into better unemployment numbers which of course they didn't. Discouraged workers aren't counted as unemployed and haven't been since 1994. your effort to prop up this empty suit disaster in the WH is quite telling. Just goes to show what I have stated about liberals is true.

Stop lying, Con. I didn't ignore that and I've addressed it.

On the other hand, you just claimed that discouraged workers impacts week jobless claims, which only serves to reveal how little you understand about the numbers you constantly complain about. Though in all fairness, that became crystal clear the moment you demonstrated you don't know what CPS data is...
