Barack Obama will have a worse job-creation record than George W Bush...
in his first four years in office.
You will hear much more about this subject in the future but there is a distinction to be made.
When GWB took office, the unemployment rate was 4.1% and he inherited a huge surplus from Bill Clinton. Barack Obama inherited a depression from George W Bush. And a world-wide economic collapse.
It is doubtful that we will have any jobs created during the first four years of Barack Obama. Unless, of course, the economy gets back on course fairly quickly. With the damage that was done, that would be a very optimistic outlook.

But I thought Cash for clunkers, the bank bailouts and Obama care was supposed to save us all.

1. Well GWB holds the record for job-destroying, so it all balances
out. Bush's work is still ongoing.
Yep the economy is still Bush's responsibility but, Obama gets credit for no terror attacks today. :whatever:

2. Though he'll come out way ahead on the "Americans killed for a lie" stat
I dunno Obama keeps fighting based on that "lie" and is escalating Afghanistan again.

If only they used their powers for good and not stupid.

It amazes me how, to the DUmmies, Bush was an inept buffoon who couldn't tie his shoes, yet somehow he got over on the mental prowess of those such as the DUmp Denizens with:
1--9/11
2--Iraq
3--Katrina
4--Trashing not only the US economy, but that of the entire WORLD?
So, DUmmies, which is it? Is he a bumbling buffoon or a cunning genius? Pick a side and stick to it!

Something happened about a week into November 2008 that really pushed the economy over the edge, into freefall. Can't remember exactly what it was...

When GWB took office, the unemployment rate was 4.1% and he inherited a huge surplus from the Republican-led Congress over the objections of Bill Clinton. Barack Obama inherited a recession from George W Bush and turned it into a full-blown depression.

So Bush had a relatively low unemployment rate when he started out. That would lead one to think that getting big job creation numbers would he harder.
Obama has a high unemployment rate when he started out. So that would lead one to think he'd have a better chance of getting those big numbers IF the economy recoveres.
So is the DUmmie implying that Obama's policies will be unable to create jobs?

Obama's policies have nothing to do with creating jobs. They are about creating DEPENDENCE, which, in turn, creates POWER for himself and the goons he surrounds himself with. The Dim-O-Crat Party can't survive on the earth worshippers, baby-killers, and Homo Mafia alone. They need some dependents to keep the ballot boxes stuffed.
