So, the unemployment rate using the same method that has been used even before President Obama took office is the lowest at 5/9%.    The number of people without health insurance is at its historical low.    Stock Market, S&P & Moody's at their historical highs.

3/4's of the country feel like we are in a recession.

How can a lefty argue the liberal PBS source you have linked?

Anything good that happens occurred in spite of Obama.  Anything bad that happens is just automatically his fault, including droughts, global warming and Justin Bieber.

that ebola might get us, damn Obama! :

we blamed him for it going up?!?

Multinational oil conglomerate, Depending on how you vote... do you want to be that partisan of an individual

The bowl of doodles did fall to the left.

What does that tell you? All good, honest posters that will take a shot at Obama at times. They are not going to argue the facts on this one as they know better.

People spending money on illicit drugs along with purchasing products which are not manufactured in this country.

1. George W Bush
2. Global warming (also know as climate change if it's cold)
3. Combination of 1 and 2

But, 2 points:

How would you describe this:

The 1% are doing VERY well under Obama, in large part. But they tend to do well no matter who controls the W.H. or congress. And of course the global economy affects the U.S. economy so no argument there either.

The problem is you don't have the intellectual honesty to admit it sucks now.

If it sucks now for YOU, then may be you don't have the qualification and experience to get a job that pays $175,000 a year in today's job market (IT, Web Design, Telecommunications, Encryption technology, Cryptographic processors, JAVA, UNIX)   or you are in a profession where you can make $250,000 a month  (MD in Cardiology, Opthalmology, ENT, Radiology or Oncology)

#2 proves you are an idiot because the two are not connected. Combination of 1&2 proves you are blooming idiot.
 

One month does not a trend make. And, most of the people, I know, are still very much feeling the pinch, probably because of what the attached link points out.

Mr. Obama’s term, your statement that the middle class have trouble finding a job, even if true, is misleading since the stats show that it is far easier to get employment now that at any time during the past 6 years. That is a 40% drop, which is amazing.

This article,  by a an organization who claims to be non biased,  but usually lends itself more toward a liberal base,  has this to say  (and yes I know it was done in Jan,  but the only things that have really changed,  is the downward spiral of this country)

Anyone can get a "job" Mari. People are looking for careers. If a guy loses his mid level management position and goes to work at Target making $12 an hour, he is considered "employed". Yeah, I am sure he is doing cartwheels.

Go back and look at where key gains were made and in what age group.

That is where the jobs are and that is where people should be in today's tech age.   If you don't believe, you will sit and complain about President Obama, President Hillary ...... and on and on.

has failed at everything and it's fucking sad because we're all paying for his dumb ass shit  

nonsense you speak.

His father gave it to him when he was young and he waited 30 years to be President to make CIA infect people.

an administration or the media has exaggerated data?

are they sitting at home twiddling their thumbs?

still have that view.  

just blathering nonsense.

Geez, you keep proving your ignorance with these posts

Why not challenge me with real details, facts, numbers!    Not in your genes!    Your momma only taught 4 letter words at home and never sent you to a school.

Probably your mother was never told of something called abortion!

Keep dreaming!    If you pay any taxes which I doubt you do, you will be paying for his retirement, health care, pension, secret service protection, his Chevy Suburban, gas, maintenance, US Air Force plane when he travels outside USA.   You will be paying the same for Michelle Obama and Sasha and Malia till they get married and move out.

I'm thinking the dude behind the bar and you might be twins .

if the night before includes Mexican food and Whiskey the smell is almost a perfect match to a bus or train in India

You count the letters number boy .  

Re: 250,000 a month (MD in Cardiology, Opthalmology, ENT, Radiology or Oncology). EOM

You don't know anything about the Medical profession I am sure!

Talking point is how it is calculated by the Labor Department.

Fact and data show the previous one fucked up the world royally.  

Now,  here is a little insight from,  of all places NPR:   844,000 people stopped looking for work last month,  YIKES

Didn’t think so.

May be you do but comprehension is the problem, right?

the only reason you are still defending that sack of crap is because yet again YOU FUCKING FAILED in your loser life .  

yes but what do they do all day then? how do they pay rent, eat?

graduated high school. very immature.

line will be twice as long this year.

Yep! Better be be careful saying this because there are a herd of ignoramuses on the right who would believe this.

What are you going to do annoy now that your lefty media base isn't covering for his stupid shit anymore .  

Your behind must be really jealous due to all your stinking shit coming out of your mouth!   LMAO.     Can you stand on a podium and take a spelling bee question along with Asian Indian kids?    You will be eliminated with the very first word.

No he is still worse.    He is a middle school dropout.

Where you will be?   In the soup kitchen line somewhere?

but then I started working in Central Asia

There where two separate buliding projects that were put on hold for about 4-5 years. The ground was leveled and roads were build, then it stop. Now they can't build them fast enough. Five went on the marker and sold, they're buyers for theses homes. Vegas is picking up from what I'm seeing, now about the rest of the country, I don't know. Azizona, now I would like to see how that state is doing.

There was net negative jobs growth from 2008 thru end of 2010 when millions of full time jobs were lost.   Mergers and consolidations are a big job killer.   Look at how many full time airline jobs have been lost.   No one is looking at IBM, Microsoft, Intel, HP, Apple creating thousands of jobs overseas while cutting back here.    Basically we are talking about 4 years and if I am not mistaken US Congress has been busy with 1. Debt Ceiling Fight 2. Repeal Obamacare 3. Benghazi 4. IRS 5. Federal Government shutdown 6. CIA  7. ISIS.

From what I experience is that people are "settling". I'm in the textile mgf. field and there's alot  of talent where before a position that paid 60k can now be had for 35-40k, for the same position. I can put an ad out and I will get 20-25 resumes. But because of pricing and margins that need to be made, overseas is where these jobs are going. Sad, LA had factories that employed 4-500 peolple and now, it's a ghost town as far as the apparel trade go.

even though you cant trust asians they are great with numbers!
