15. No, not the "last few months." Not true.
Read the link at reply #1 (you too, Cave dwellers). This was going on for quite a while, not just at the bitter end of the Bush nightmare.
Pedro, Pedro, Pedro.
Let me explain it to you in terms even someone as stupid as you *might* be able to understand.
What's the current unemployment figure? 8.2%. What is real unemployment counting those who are so depressed they have quit looking for work? Most conservative estimates I've seen say around 13.5% to 15%.
Dear Leader has had 3.5 years to do something. What should the unemployment figures be if he were competent and could lead? Less than 5%.
What is the price of gas currently? $3+. What should it be if Dear Leader was competent? Less than $2.
Have food prices greatly inflated over the past 3.5 years? Yes.
80K jobs a month is nothing. It's like having liver cancer and someone hands you a 5 cent coupon for a box of bandaids.
You see, there's a track record there. Things are getting worse exponentially. Dear Leader is the CEO, ergo he's to blame. He doesn't want to accept the blame. He doesn't like to accept responsibility for all the bad that's happening because of his stupidity. Bad leaders do that type of thing.
