Obama spent 1 TRILLION DOLLAR$$$ to fix the economy and 40 months later unemployment WENT UP to 8.2%.
Obama has mortgaged our kids future with a HUGE DEBT and has created FORTY
STRAIGHT MONTHS OF UNEMPLOYMENT ABOVE 8%.
Is he ONE AND DONE in November?

Temlakos~POTL~PWCM~JLA~☆ 2012/06/01 14:56:24Obama is TOAST.+12How's that stimulus workin' out for ya? Or those "green jobs"? They worked out great for his bundlers and cronies. But not for the rest of us. Not for those who have given up after one rejection slip too many.






















There are hundreds of examples I could give but these two will suffice.
Example an employee starts to work on the 11th of June and on September 12th they call off sick. Even though it is out of the 90 calendar day probationary period, also the time when benefits and vacation/comp time begin to accrue. An employer can twist the numbers and justify terminating an employee for excessive absenteeism.
Another example is that an employer can terminate an employee for poor production and get away with it, even though the material/information/resources that the employee has to work with are flawed.
What the United States needs is for there to be tighter reigns on employers to retain employees instead of jetasoning them when they get close to a pay raise time or getting benefits that the company has to pay in to.
Goddess forbid that an employer should have to make a contribution towards benefits or
make vacation/comp time available.
Maybe if President Obama were to find a way to encourage employers to retain instead of terminate, we would all be alot better off.
Yes the economy has slowed BUT IT IS STILL GROWING> The cause, The failure of the Republicans in the Senate to vote to approve cloture to allow debate on thejobs bills from the House to pass a jobs bills program established in over 12 of 60+ that are waiting in the Senate.
Start looking to where the Bottle Neck is and you will find the obstructionistic Tea Party Republicans in the way every time.
You think the economy is still growing?
Although Reagan inherited a HIGH unemployment rate that soard to over 10% before his plans could go into effect, he also inherited out of control inflation (13.5%!!) and a misery index of 20.76%!! Obama inherited a misery index of 9.6% - N O W it's 10.85%!!!
Reagan slashed taxes and within 2 years had the GDP OVER 8%. He got unemployment down to 7.2% by election day WITHOUT pulling a smoke and mirrors trick by pulling people out of the calculation just to make the unemployment numbers fictitiously drop.
At this point in Reagan's Presidency, the GDP was between 6% and 8% and the economy was creating OVER 5000,000 JOBS A MONTH (not 69,000).
0bama kool-aid drinkers like you forget he had majorities in BOTH houses for 65 of his term so far and got EVERYTHING HE WANTED for the first 2 years with HUGE MAJORITIES in BOTH HOUSES.
As for jobs... YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!?!?!?!

How to explain your delusion?
Difficult to say...
I mean they actually think 0bama achieved his promise to withdraw from Iraq even though Bush signed the withdrawal agreement in 2008. The troops left on BUSH'S timetable (not 0bama's joke of a campaigns promise: "in 16 months of inauguration") LOL
Maybe you are just the last true rube of American society?
Maybeyou are just an illiterate mark... A con-mans DREAM!
Funny you should mention Reagan... although Reagan inherited HIGH unemployment (0bama 7.8%), out of control inflation (13.5%!!) and a misery index it has taken 0bumbler 3 years to match, there is no comparison of the 2 Prez's.
Reagan slashed taxes and within 2 years had the GDP OVER 8%. He got unemployment down to 7.2% by election day WITHOUT pulling a smoke and mirrors trick by pulling people out of the calculation just to make the unemployment numbers fictitious drop. Obama has 40 STRAIGHT MONTHS of unemployment OVER 8% with accounting tricks to boot!
0bama kool-aid drinkers like you forget he had majorities in BOTH houses for 65% of his term so far and got everything he wanted for the first 2 years...
Useful idiots like are parroting the pathetic line from 0bumbler that it's the Republicans stoppin...

Even if you respond with the predictable, "Well, look who is in charge of the house", BS, then instead of bashing Obama, you should be happy that working with him is achieving your so called agenda.
By the depth and tenor of your vituperations, continuing a con-verstation with you is senseless and insulting. Your mind is closed and irretrievable. You are a nasty POS. Lets see: Oh, yes, Christian Conservative. When you post that on your profile, it is tantamount to a tramp stamp on a whore. Instantly easy to understand their position on anything, flat on their back!
Obama had nothing to do with the 600,000 jobs cut from Gov. payrolls.... these are state and local jobs from places where the public sector had bloated to an unsustainable level... and they were cut but Democrats as well as Republican state and local officials... nice try though.... but FAIL.
And BTW, Obama doesn't work with the Republicans... EVER.
"They want to put a moat at the boarder with Alligators": To Latinos.
After suggestions to stop kick-backs to big PHARMA in Obamacare, Obama told Republicans: "I WON."
When Republicans wanted to give input on the Stimulus (THAT FAILED) he said: "They can get in the back seat (while we drive)."
So instead of scouring your thesaurus for words you don't know how to use, why don't you make a truthful argument with facts backed up by REAL numbers.

Increase Competitiveness for U.S. Manufacturers
The more that American businesses export, the more they produce. The more businesses produce, the more workers they need. This means job creation. Expanding market access for U.S. made products will be a shot in the arm for businesses small and large and will create jobs.

Pay Down America's Unsustainable Debt Burden
The federal government is spending and borrowing so much that the United States will soon go broke. Washington’s spending binge has put our nation in debt, eroded economic confidence, and caused massive uncertainty for private sector job creators. It's time to live within our means.
Budget for Fiscal Year 2012
H.Con.Res. 34 - Senate has not yet considered a budget of its own
Cut, Cap, and Balance
H.R. 2560 - Senator Reid tabled the bill by a vote of 51–46.
THE HOUSE BILLS GET KILLED BY DIRTY HARRY REID:
THE DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED SENATE (FOR THE PAST 5+ YEARS) HASN'T EVEN PROPOSED OR PASSED A BUDGET FOR OVER 1,100 DAYS!
The unemployment rate has decreased to 8.2% under Obama.
Check the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the truth:

Perhaps you're unaware of this, but presidents can veto.
Yes, they really can.
Besides, presidents propose the budgets and have the most influence over them.
For his last 2 budgets, W vetoed Democratic attempts to be reasonable.
My facts come from the BLS, not from some conservative loon who only spews lies and misinformation. Clinton got the unemployment rate down to 4% from where the first Bush had raised it to, so apparently the second Bush decided it should go back up.

Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the House:
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77 (Without a Tax Payer FED pump like today)
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Bush's policies were reducing the deficit faster than he had promised:
2004 412 billion
2005 318.59 billion
2006 248.57 billion
2007 160.96 billion
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for taking us from 14,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was "Financially risky for the US economy"):

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac????
Senator OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie???
The HYPOCRITE Senator Obama
And who is continuing the "failed policies that got us unto this mess" by dumping Billions more into Fannie & Freddie and NOT reforming them?
The con-man in Chief Obama.
So when the kool-aid crowd blame Bush and the GOP...
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....
THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!
Personally I prefer data.
Like this little tidbit.
From 2004:
When Bush took office, the federal budget had been balanced for three straight years and was, in the 2000 fiscal year, running a surplus of $236 billion -- the largest in U.S. history. The White House is projecting a record budget deficit this year of $445 billion.
