  2. Obama has plenty of time to beat that... and there's still the pesky matter of duration you conveniently ignored:

  4. Nonsense. Obama has plenty of time left to make things even worse. And more important based on what? Obama's unemployment situation is FAR worse even at this early stage because you can't just look at the rate in isolation; rate AND duration MUST be combined to quantify the extent of the problem. Speaking of quantifying things... let's see where the market stands when Obama's out of office. Comparing a bounce after the crash to a solid increase over eight years is bogus.

    the above statement shows, better than any counterpoint i could possibly make, how out of touch you are with reality.

    Its pretty funny I used to feel compelled to set the record straight when these socialist sycophants would post their distortions about how great the dems or the economy are doing.

    But, now everybody in the world knows the the dems have failed on the economy. And even better the world has seen that the socialist's policies can not repair a recession.

    While this a a very tough economic period for many, it has disabused so many of the silly idea that the government can save us or we can spread the wealth around with taxation and spending.

    I predict Obama will pull a clinton and move to the center right on taxes.... because otherwise he risks replacing Jimmy Carter as the president holding the title as worst president in history.

    Obama only has a short time left to understand that taxes need to lowered and jobs need to be created.

  8. So Bush was in office 8 years,Obama less then 2,but its the dems who failed the economy ?

    Speaking of Carter,do you know that it took Reagan longer then 2 years to fix Carters economy and that unemployment reached 10.8 % under tax cut king Reagan ?
