No Republican preisdent has ever...

[Keywester]

MILD???  AYFKM?  Again, 15 percent inflation, 21 percent interest rates, and oil prices at record highs (even when adjusted for inflation.)  Credibility in the shitter after giving away the Panama Canal, Iran, boycotting the Moscow Olympics, etc., etc.

Believe me, scooter, what Bush handed off to Obama ain't SHIT compared to the late 1970's.  Maybe if you remembered it a little better you'd understand.

My God is that funny

During this last recession everybody said this is the worst recession since the Great Depression nobody and I repeat nobody from either party said this is the worst recession since Jimmy Carter

You stand-alone with that view

The stock market lost half its value we were losing 750,000 jobs per month but you think the Carter recession was worse

Holy shit are you ignorant

[Rebel]

Talk about ignorance, which party was controlling the purse strings from '07-'January 09? Which party controlled EVERYTHING from '09-January '11?

Your idiot president has blown 5 trillion dollars of OUR money to accomplish nothing but an even more ****ed up economy, you ****ing idiot. He's a lightweight, a mental midget, an idiot, in WAY over his head, economically and fiscally-illiterate, and doesn't know what the **** he's doing. He's gone in November.

[Keywester]

There was 227,000 jobs created last month

I tried to start a thread about this a couple times but it keeps getting deleted because the information is too damaging to the GOP

It's not being deleted, dumbass. You're just too stupid to click your name ---> show posts ---> find your post

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

There was 227,000 jobs created last month

And unemployment is still in the mid to high 8% range.

What's your point?

[Rebel]

...and 227,000 jobs added doesn't do dick. Try that for about 4 years and get back to me. BTW, how are you idiots going to address the debt the idiot got us into? Ignore it?

When he took overwe were losing 700,000 jobs a month

Last month we created 227,000 jobs but you think that's worse than losing 700,000

When Obama took over we had negative GDP today we have positive GDP

Concerning the economy tell me what got worse....

Gonna need to buy a BUNCH of pillows this November Keystereater.

Bush's median UE was 4.5

What's Obama's? 9 something?

When Democrats controlled the purse strings. Thanks for playing.

[Rebel]

...and that "positive growth" isn't that damn promising considering he spent 5 trillion dollars of OUR money for that menial growth and an above 8% UE rate. He's a failure. An utter disaster.

[Rebel]

BTW, the GDP's "growth" seems to be corresponding with the time Republicans took over Congress. I know, strange, right?

[Rebel]

One other thing, notice anything different about this place and DU? Notice what you can do here that you can't do at DU? And we're the fascists trying to shut down free speech?

George Bush collapsed the entire US economy it cratered in on itself

Do you think that played a part in the high unemployment during Pres. Obama's first term ?

Can I ask a favor from the mods?

When they become known as liberal trolls since I know we don't ban them like our counterparts do.......can we at least give them a different avatar to identify them?

Carter handed Reagan mild recession

 

Carter gave Reagan a muddy pile of shit:  Stagnant economy, high interest rates, high unemployment, a rode hard and put away wet military that had seen it's funding gutted.

Bush handed Obama a very very deep recession

Bush handed Obama an economy that was in trouble, there is no doubt - one trillion in debt for which Obama voted for every dime.  He also managed to hand him a AAA bond rating which was among the many things Obama squandered.

Problem is the extremes to which will end the tenures of Presidents Reagan and Obama:  Reagan left the country and the world much better than he received it.

And you want to compare the two ?

There is no comparison between Obama and Reagan, this is no mystery.

Reagan entered the WH with UE around 7.3 % .... 4 years later UE was around 7.3 %

Hardly.

When Jimmy Carter took office in January of 1977, unemployment was at 7.5%.  When he left office, and Ronald Reagan assumed office, in January of 1981, unemployment was at 7.5%.  That makes a net gain of zero, zip, jack shit for the second worst president in the history of the United States.

When Ronald Reagan took his second oath of office after the historic ass kicking he handed the liberal democrat Walter Mondale, the unemployment rate was 7.3%.  So, in 4 years of having to clean up after a worthless, liberal democrat, President Reagan had a gain of 0.2%.  Which, btw was obviously much better than anything Jimmuh ever did.  Click on the below link to see for yourself.

Incidentally, the highest unemployment numbers for Bush and the lowest for Obama (7.8%) were in the same month the two served (January 2009).

That's just tragic, isn't it?

And you idiots thought it was "morning in America"

Compared to ugly sweater Jimmy and pump up your tires Obama, it was.

Really?  He did that all by himself?  Do tell!

Do you think that played a part in the high unemployment during Pres. Obama's first term ?

As much as it did when Carter left and Reagan took over.

A $38.6 billion loan guarantee program that the Obama administration promised would create or save 65,000 jobs has created just a few thousand jobs two years after it began, government records show. The program — designed to jump-start the nation’s clean technology industry by giving energy companies access to low-cost, government-backed loans — has directly created 3,545 new, permanent jobs after giving out almost half the allocated amount, according to Energy Department tallies.

Obama to tout green energy ‘investments’ at solar facility employing 5 workers, relying on $54 million in taxpayer subsidies

BOULDER CITY, Nev. — President Obama will tout investments in “renewable” energy Wednesday at the local Copper Mountain Solar 1 plant, although the plant has only five full-time employees.

The plant, owned by San Diego-based energy company Sempra, was built in late 2010 at a cost of $141 million. Funding included $42 million in federal-government tax credits and $12 million in tax-rebate commitments from the state of Nevada.

Construction of the plant involved over 300 part-time jobs, but currently only five full-time employees operate the plant, a Sempra spokeswoman confirmed. That comes out to $10.8 million in tax-dollar subsidies per employee.

What a ****ing idiot. Not to mention Solyndra and all the other companies owned by his buddies he paid off. Obama is a criminal. Plain and simple. A slimey-assed crook.

[obumazombie]

The credit re investment act is the time bomb that slowly exploded after Carter signed it into law that wrecked our economy. Maybe more like a sinkhole that the economy slowly but surely got eaten up by. There have been republicans that have been complicit in continuing the policy, but make no mistake, it was a lib/dem/socialist that planted the sinkhole, and almost exclusively lib/dem/socialists that have used CRA to crater our economy. A small portion of the blame should go to the GOP, but more than the lions share is the lib/dems/socialists.

Interesting that libs say the job picture is improving.  If it is improving, it's been improving since the republicans took over congress. 

I am trying to figure out Keywester's DUmmy name.

I remember the DUmmies asking Boehner where the jobs were the day after he was sworn in as speaker.  Now that the HOR has had time to have some effect, they want to give Obama credit for any apparent improvement.  Improvement that was lacking when the Dems controlled both houses of congress.

[Traveshamockery]

Keywester and his party actually have bigger problems ~ something like 10 senate democrat seats are in play and people like Sherrod Brown and Claire McCaskill are running far behind their republican challengers.  That's not really good news for incumbents or democrats or Barack Obama or Keywester.
