The prez can't even help his homies. http://www.suntimes.com/business/13...s-total-nearly-1400-in-june-report-shows.html
Fortunately, nationwide, that kind of thing has fallen to a 13 month low, according to the Challenger report.
LOL, Obama has gone back another decade, now its Clintons fault....... OBAMA RIPS CLINTON ERA IN JOBS REPORT DEFENSE Off-teleprompter, the President is nothing if not a disaster, and this morning in Ohio, fresh off another heartbreaking jobs report for the American people, Obama attempted to wax eloquent to a small group about the beauty of the middle class and how he is its savior. According to Obama, it was his desire to save the middle class that drove him to get into politics and run for the Illinois State Senate. Emphasis is mine: We'll get to how factually challenged all of that is in a bit, but Obama's bid for the Illinois State Senate occurred in 1996, which means that he's trashing the results of Bill Clinton's first term. Clinton ran for reelection in 1996 and won in a walk, largely due to an economy that was thriving. Whether you credit Clinton or the Republican Congress (I credit both) for the economic boom of the 90s, for Obama to trash 1996 as a time when the middle class felt the dream all slipping away is not only nonsense to those of us who lived through it; it is also factually untrue. In 1996, we were all feeling the effects of an actual recovery after the shallow recession that cost the first President Bush his job. Clinton's opponent, Bob Dole, lost mainly due to the fact that there were no issues for him to hit Clinton with on the only issue that matters, the economy. As far as the facts: Obama is also near-delusional talking about gas prices, tuition, and the price of health care increasing in 1996. Under Obama, gas prices have exploded, tuition costs are burying students in mortgage-size debt after they graduate college, and the cost of healthcare has increased almost $2500 per family since 2008. I donât know anyone who wouldnât kiss What Life Was Like In 1996 on the lips right now. Furthermore, for Obama to stand there after three and a half years in office and trash 1996 as income, the GDP, manufacturing, and job creation under his watch are all falling -- for him to stand there and pretend to be the Guardian of the Middle Class after jamming through ObamaCare against the wishes of the middle class who will most certainly bear the brunt of this monstrous burden -- is what one might call⦠The Audacity of Knowing the Media Will Never Fact-Check You. Somebody needs to get the President a teleprompter stat.
"Furthermore, for Obama to stand there after three and a half years in office and trash 1996 as income, the GDP, manufacturing, and job creation under his watch are all falling" <img src="http://docbea.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/gdp_2012_1st.png">
Statement is entirely accurate, GDP growth, Manufacturing, wages, and job creation are all currently falling.....
Ok, you got me, based on 1 word "Growth".... I surrender..... Still doesnt change the fact that Obama is out there touting the fact that he became a politician so he could solve the problems he percieved as happening under Clinton, (during a booming economy) at the same time the world is falling apart under his watch..... Takes a lot of gall to make this claim after an abysmal jobs report......
Obama used the absolute worst 3 economists this country ever produced to advise him. All three had to quit because they didn't know what they were doing and made stupid public statement blunders. I don't think he uses advisers now. He just relies on his vast knowledge of the world and economics he thinks he learned in the last 3 1/2 years. In other words, he's a moron with a fool for an advisor.
obama's job calculus the fewer jobs, the more leftist free ice cream recipients - voters. from his actions one can see he had no desire to create jobs. shouldn't the infrastructure spending and shovel ready projects be kicking in right now to make him look like an economic genius. Oh thats right he never bothered to really create jobs.
