Do the 50% of Americans that pay no federal income tax care?
Unlikely.
Do the record setting number of Americans that receive government money care?
Probably not.
Do the political activists that will vote Obama no matter what care?
Of course not.
Does not matter what the facts are. 90% of the media will report these bleak numbers as good news. Fox and a few blogs will report it as bad news and most Americans will focus on Matthew McCaunaghey's new baby.
Overall, job creation has been relatively meager during the Obama administration, particularly compared to the massive job losses brought on by the recession. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, even if job creation were happening at pre-recession levels, it would take us 11 years to get back to an unemployment rate of 5 percent.

1) We now live in a world that has India"s top 2% of their students outnumbering our total number of students.
2) we live in a world that has the US at least one whole generation behind China's commerce and infrastructure on the world's largest continent. Those Africans are learning about Mao - not John Wayne.
Thirdly and most importantly - we're teaching our kids to be 'good employees' instead of running businesses. I was an engineer for almost 11 yrs and not once did I have a class on how to run a business. I'm finding out thru trial and error right now. I was qualified thru military service, and later from a previous 10 yrs in the business as a civilian working for DOD contracting for imagery based contracts.
The kids now days don't even know how to look for that kind of training nor for what. Their Liberal Arts degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on. These kids are trained to be sales staff at Best Buy for a business model that is dying. THAT is one of the reasons f...

I don't pretend to like EVERYTHING about this administration but it beats inaction on the part of the GOP....time is the real enemy here; not fellow Americans. If these modern business and political practices were in vogue in 1941 - we'd be speaking Japanese in one part of the country and German in the other.

None of these are socialist concepts. It's important to remember the difference between socialism vs communism. One system is an economic one and the other is a poltical one.
The economic model is hobbled by technology; it's steeped in blind profits and not paradigms of improvements of humanity; the most glaring examples are the 'big box' retailers like Best Buy.... they're dying because they're mired in the post WWII nostalgia. We're not there anymore... we're having to transition beyond that.
We live in a world where India's top 2% of their students outnumber our total number of students. We cannoit compete against that shortsightness. The current jobs situation is just an indicator of what's happening to us
Communism and Socialism go hand in hand! Both are failed ideologies and always will be because they fail to recognize the need for individual liberties, freedom and ingenuity!
I bet you still regard any place outside of Topeka Kansas as 'third world' instead of the more accurate appellation that these are 'developing countries'.
These countries aren't spending their dollars nation building abroad; getting involved in unnecessary wars and butting into other people's business. We are, and have the deficits to prove it... We'd have them anyway, but not as high.
Lastly, I majored in political science - international relations and the truth is; socialism is not a failed system; communism is. Germany is carrying Europe almost alone on her back... that is not done with a failed economic system.
I am a dyed and true capitalist so I don't have a dog in this hunt here; I can just accept there is more than one way to skin a cat. Besides capitalism has it's own problems.. namely supply and demand issues. Those issues...

Besides capitalism has it's own problems.. namely supply and demand issues. Those issues are cyclic and introduce their own uncertainty, but I do believe it is the best system for a nation born on the pioneering spirit.
Freedom and liberty have their own issues - one man's freedom is another man's imposition

So if Obama got a grade for June based on 32% of what's needed, he would get an F.
There are job bills sent to the Senate that Sen. Reid will not allow to be voted on.
So much for the democratic process in the Senate.
