Brother Rich Ricci, I need some clarification on something. Are you a citizen of Canada, the United States, or both?
You're pulling out every leftie trick in the bag, aren't you? Now we're on the "But Bush did it too!" No one is absolving Bush of anything in this thread. All I'm saying (and you continue to fight the point) is that Obama told us his stimulus package would produce a certain employment result if we did it, and he was way, way off. Lies or incompetence. Either way, abject failure.
You're using it dismissively. How many Americans really think the economy is "horrific", as opposed to "bad", or "could be better"? Job growth under Obama beats that under Bush and Reagan.
You're back to arguing semantics again, I see. If you don't like the adjectives I use, feel free to use their own. But I'd be willing to bet there are many people who would use that word, or worse to describe their personal situations. As for job growth, that's a statistical game, and you know it. He had the benefit of starting at the lowest point in quite some time. Let's talk labor force participation.
Why don't you look at the chart I posted, and then do the calculations in millions of people. Then do the percentage miss (which I already did for you).
