I'm not willing to defend him, I'm just posting stats that suggest that there has been a positive improvement in jobs since he took office.

That's a good question for our military.

His rating is the best since 08.

Obama inherited the poorest working class in the US in 60 years with record household debt at 100% of US GDP. in no other time in US history has the working class lost 40% of their total wealth. in previous recessions no more than 3-4% of household wealth had ever been lost.

the negative effects of Bush admin policy will last decades

this topic has been beat to death. there's no magic wands to fix the problems of the US economy cause high taxes aint it.

Is Obama really that bad?

It's hard to make a comparison when the graph you posted is mostly just Obama.

I wasn't making a comparison, just posting job statistics. It seems that anti Obama folks like to say he's doing a terrible job at creating jobs.

How else would we know how well he's doing creating jobs if not by comparison? Net job creation during his administration is terrible.

Wouldn't a better comparison be w someone who came into office w the situation he did?
I'm assuming you're a big Clinton fan now?

as was the recession recovery of 2001 and every recession recovery from now on in the US. if you think this is bad wait until the next recession.

I posted the figures that excluded negative months too. A comparison with someone who came into office with a similar situation? Like FDR? That's there also.

I'm not a Clinton fan but the numbers don't lie and during his administration a lot of jobs were created and the republicans controlled congress.

They also controlled congress during 6 of bush junior years too.

Is it your opinion that a republican would've created more jobs the last 4 years?

They can also be used to demonstrate what's going on, and they're used all the time w great success. Our modern medicine is a great example.

The point is that jobs have grown 34 months in a row. Now, some people assert that a republican would've created more jobs, but that's just speculation.

Not necessarily. McCain is a fucktard too.

everything Irish knows about econ can fit on the back of a postage stamp. the fact that he thinks a debt based economy fueled by financial deregulation and rent seeking was good tells how what he knows about econ...nothing

does that make you feel better about yourself? mocking and saying things like that? does it make you more proud of your online degrees and your lack of social acceptance and inability to see Barry Soetero for what he really is?

i don't expect you to answer these questions...you never answer anyone's questions and always tap dance around them...i expect you to do the typical libtard thing and mock, bash, say something you think is funny, and possibly answer my questions with your own questions and never answer them directly...you've become boring and predictable...

I forgot about the Palin factor.

the only way to create jobs is to free up money...that's only gonna come from getting gas prices back below $2....everyone had more money to spend...

Does a president decide those prices? Sounds like you're for a higher minimum wage.
