Posted on September 3, 2010 at 3:59pmHe should regret it. Look at the true numbers (if the Dems haven’t tried to erase all of em yet.) Since taking office, Obama has TRIPLED our national debt. How can you call it a recovery when you are even poorer than before?

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 3:57pmSTEELE: George Bush created a lot of jobs.
HAINES: Beg your pardon?
STEELE: I think there were jobs created in the eight years that George Bush was in office.
HAINES: No I’m sorry, you’re mistaken. [...]
STEELE: I think jobs were created. I’m almost confident about that. And I think the markets reflect that. [...]
HAINES: So, did the Lehman blow up and all, that didn’t happen on Bush’s watch? … You were talking about the markets. The markets tanked. [...]
While Steele is “almost confident” that Bush created jobs, the facts disagree. As the Wall Street Journal noted in the last month of Bush’s term — in an article that Burnett references on air while fact checking Steele — Bush’s job data “shows the worst track record for job creation since the government began keeping records.” A paltry 1 million jobs were created under Bush; that’s “a fraction of the 23 million jobs created under President Bill Clinton’s administration.” Even President Carter — who conservatives love to cite as the paragon of poor economic management, and who only served one term — created 10.5 million jobs. That’s more than three times as many jobs as Bush, in half as much time. More jobs may be created under Obama in this year alone than in Bush’s eight.

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 4:23pmAre you trying to say that with the unemployment rate going higher (more jobs lost) that the current administration is doing good?
Please show me the new math. I need to get my checkbook in order and I figure you know how the fed is working too and I can simple use their magic to get more out of what I currently have.

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 5:59pmThe math is really simple.
There was a net gain of about 4.7 million jobs during the Bush administration.

Since Obama became President, 2.2 million jobs have been lost. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 10:59pmPresident’s do not create jobs! Free Capitalists create jobs. The government is like a mosquito looking for a donor. Politicians have been selling little bits and pieces off to other countries for years and years. We are now looking at the results of many years of poor judgement and self serving actions. They want us to believe we did it to ourselves. Sorry, some of us see deeper than they think. Term limits and no lobbiests in washington. That’s a star!

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 3:52pmLies, lies, and more lies! I can no longer listen to this man lie. I am uncontrollably compelled, like a reflex hic-up, to hit the mute button, change the channel, or power off the media device every time I hear him begin to speak. His elegantly delivered and redefined English language leaves the listener believing he has said one thing, but his definitions always mean another. He is a Confidence Man extraordinary both of whose hands must be watched simultaneously at all times for fear that his lips will distract you just long enough for him to lift you wallet, pawn you watch, sell you the Brooklyn Bridge, or trade your very soul to the Devil. Then I realize, if I turn him off I won’t have a clue about how he intends to defraud me next. Oh, the delimma is so painful!

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 4:37pmHi JJBSYS: You have hit it so right on. For sure you are not the only one with that dilemma. You have just put the words for probably millions of people. You listen to him and you get fooled and if you avoid listening to him you would not know how in the meantime you are getting fooled. I am still waiting for his c-span cameras, no lobbyists, no earmarks and the list goes on and on and on and on… Cannot believe that a president of the country can spew out such balant and naked lies to the very countrymen who had put faith and trust on him to get him elected. We need God more then we had needed at him at any other time in the history of USA. God bless the United States of America.

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 3:47pmGlad we did the stimulus so we would not go over 8% unemployment.
Oh wait did I just hear again that unemployment was up again, now to 9.6%.
Either the plan is working or not. The question is what plan the one we all were told or was there another?

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 3:38pmYes of course jobs are being “created”. Government jobs paid for by taxpayers. Here in New Jersey over 40% of the jobs are government/municipal jobs. An 8th grade Social Studies student can tell you how that wouldn‘t work and why it doesn’t work. I’m happy to have a no nonsense Governor like Chris Christie in office. Finally. some common sense!

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 3:58pmAmen to that. I am truly hoping that there is an impeachment in sight once the House is taken over by the Republicans again. He won’t resign, but he sure can be FIRED along with his 34 czars that are imploding this country. Everything he has touched or seized (land out west over 30%) has been a catastrophic diaster for WE THE PEOPLE. He just needs to go and elections need to be reheld.

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 4:23pmLiving near Detroit gives a whole new meaning to recovery summer. Let’s see now, more murders, more school money stolen, more people moving out of the city, more of my money going to welfare for the down trodden who have never worked. Do the people who are on continual welfare count as those looking for jobs? The only recovery in Detroit is you recovering from your gun shot wounds.

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 5:55pmDuncan, I have firmly believed for a long time that all people that recieve aid, food stamps, medical help, vendoring from the Fed Govt should be tested for drugs and alcohol. When I say all people, that’s exactly what I mean. If you are taking my tax dollars for food, shelter and medical help, then you had better be clean of drugs of any kind.. I would make it a mandate in every state and city. if they test postitive, then no hand outs for that month. Lets weed out the people that are abusing our tax dollars and the hand outs.
