U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%[W: 831]

Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Not an apt analogy. POTUS is more like an NFL GM than a QB. BHO's performance would earn him a high draft position.:cool:
I suppose that analogy leaves Mitt Romney having to buy a ticket to watch an NFL game because the fans booted him out in the cold. :shrug:

I suppose it does. It also leaves him with no responsibility for the ongoing failure that is the BHO Presidency. If Romney had been elected, the turnaround would be under way.:cool:

You did not point out that it was a post of yours. I inferred that it was a post from someone else and searched my past posts. :cool:
I don't know why you're so eager to make a fool of yourself, but hey, I don't mind helping you out.

So ... I did not point out you responded to a post of mine, huh?

... then how do you explain my name attached (circled in red for your convenience) to the post you claim I didn't identify as mine?? :shrug:
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

I had to correct my post. GWB's average was even lower: 5.3%.
Umm, that's still 1.1 points higher than when he stared. Same as Obama. Only Bush inherited a much healthier economythan the one he dumped on Obama.

You keep right on with your Orwellian argument that average unemployment of 8.9% is better than average unemployment of 5.3%. Arthur Koestler wrote a book entitled Darkness at Noon. I think you would like it.:lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo
That's quite demented logic on your part since I never said 8.9% is better than 5.3%. What I actually said, although it's now apparent you weren't paying attention, was that an averge of 1.1 point higher than when Obama started is better than the 1.3 points (your original claim) it was higher under Bush.

Do you get it now? I wasn't comparing the unemployment rate -- I was comparing the effect on the unemployment rate based on what each president inherited from their respective predecessors.

Not even close. Everyone on the football team works for the GM. that is not the case with the president. he has virtually no control over any business. At best, he can only directly effect government employees. As the point of my analogy was the lack of control each quarterback had of over other factors, I think my analogy works better than yours. ;)

Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Holy ****!! :doh

That is not a chart of expenses. It's a chart showing where the debt comes from. Lower taxes descreased the amount of revenue the goverment takes in.

And stop lying. Federal income tax revenues fell after those tax cuts went into effect. Bush tax cuts went into effect in 2001 and then again in 2003. FIT revenues fell both of those years. FIT revenue began increasing again thanks to the swelling housing market bubble.

2000 1,212
2001 1,145
2002 1,006
2003 925
2004 998
2005 1,206
2006 1,398
2007 1,534
2008 1,450
2009 1,054
2010 1,090
2011 1,273
2012 1,375


Government Tax and Revenue Chart: United States 2000-2014 - Federal State Local Data

Wrong, they totally went into effect in July 2003 but don't let the facts get in the way of your Bush derangement syndrome. It really is sad that you have such hatred for a former President that causes you to divert from the disaster that Obama is. The results speak for themselves. By the way Bush was in office for 8 years and generated 4.9 trillion in debt, Obama has been in office less than five and the debt is 6 trillion. It does seem that leadership skills aren't something you understand.

You are free to believe whatever nonsense helps you get through the day. BHO's economic management has been abysmal.:cool:

Well, you're wrong. No POTUS creates legislation and no POTUS can sign legislation if its blocked by a party that wants to make him a one-term president.

Keep believing the liberal lies, Obama got everything he wanted up until January 2011 and there was no improvement in employment and in fact people kept dropping out of the labor force. Now you can keep blaming someone else for Obama's failures or do what is mature and accept responsibility for the very poor choice you made in electing him and then voting to re-elect him. Anything else shows you to be a partisan liberal hack who is out of touch with reality and the actual data.

Every POTUS has to deal with a loyal opposition. BHO isn't up to the task. He owns the economic failure of his tenure in office.:roll:

Complete and utter bull****. Presidents are like middle inning pitchers. They come into the game inheriting the score and men on base from the previous pitcher and they leave the game for their replacement.

What righties are trying to do blame Obama for being the pitcher in a game he's losing 10-5, while ignoring that the pitcher before him gave up 9 runs in 2 innings and left the bases loaded for the next pitcher to deal with.


I say "trying" because you did try, but y'all failed. Fortunately, enough Americans knew the score to re-elect Obama.

GWB 5.3%. BHO 8.9%. :cool:
Sure, if you want to ignore what each of them inherited. But that just takes me back to my baseball analogy.

You're just in denial, trying to justify to yourself your defense of failure. Failure that is causing hardship and suffering. :(

Obama is no more a failure than President Bush was. When Obama took office the economy was headed into the toilet; millions of jobs were lost before he became president.

The recession ended years ago. It's BHO's "recovery" that's killing us.:roll:

Remarkable isn't it, he took office on January 21, 2009, didn't get his economic program implemented until late 2009 and we came out of recession in June 2009. What I find more amzing is the fact that when the recession began in December 2007 there were 146 million Americans working and the labor force was 153.9 million. Today after adding 6 trillion to the debt there are 143 million working Americans and a labor force of 155.0 million. Now that is a real liberal success story

Economic failure?

When Obama came into Office, GDP was negative 8.9%. 2.6 million jobs were lost in the 3 months leading to his presidency. The stock market was nose diving and the economy was crashing. Now, though barely positive, GDP is still positive (compared to -8.9%). 19,000 jobs lost over the last 3 months (compared to 2.6 million). 2 of the 3 major indexes of the stock market are at all-time highs and the economy is doing far better than it was a little over 4 years ago when Bush left office.

You really need to get over your BDS and realize that you are comparing Obama to the worst President you know and not doing well at it. Your numbers are distorted and out of context as usual. You will let me know when the labor market reflects the true population growth as well as when we get back to 146 million working Americans? And of course it only cost 6 plus trillion in added debt to generate those numbers. How many more can Obama get to drop out of the labor force?
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Yep, .4% GDP growth last quarter is a booming economy. How many more can Obama get to drop out of the labor force to get that unemployment rate down to the Bush levels?
