Anyone have a side-by-side slide or photo of the economic numbers and pol issues when BO came into

office in 2008 vs the numbers now?

unemployment
gasoline prices
job creation
deficit
bin Laden
al quaeda
troops in Iraq and Afghanistan etc?

DUmmie gets a quick response, but probably not what they wanted.

1. Hmm

I think the official poverty rate was around 13% in 2008, somewhere around 16% now, iirc.

And the workforce participation rate hit a 36 year low earlier this year, although admittedly that actually makes the 'unemployment' number look better.

Average gas price according to historical charts at gasbuddy.com are a bit funky, but seem to show an average price of just over $2 a gallon just before the president was elected, that then climbed steadily during his first term to almost $4 a gallon, then have simply seesawed around an average of mid $3 prices for the last 3-4 years.

Let's see, military suicides each year have almost tripled since 2008.

I haven't come across civilian deaths from drone strikes, yet, but I bet they've climbed quite a bit.

And I heard the administration has prosecuted more people for leaking info than the past five administrations put together, although I'd like to see that written down, since I know the talking heads frequently misstate these sorts of things.

And of course, we've found that 93% of the 'recovery' went to the obscenely wealthy, while average Americans paychecks have actually declined. as many of the 'new' jobs created have paid less than the 'old' jobs people lost.

Is that the sort of 'etc' you're looking for? Or did you only want positive spin numbers?

I wonder if the Obama apologists will show up?

Ouch.

2. Give me what you have.

Of course what you spouted are mostly stuff BO inherited. Suicides were a result of having PTSD from that illegal war in Iraq and the lack of help from the government thanks to GOP obstruction. We all know why the gasoline prices rose but who wants to give credit to the current administration for opening up more oil venues and than his predecessor, and energy policies that have made more competition for oil (if he gets blame, he must get credit).

Of course it is Bush's fault.

Sounds like someone is getting spanked royally on another board and is looking for more rubber bands.

You f***ing kidding me?  Open up?   :banghead:  You wouldn't happen to have even the slightest passing familiarity with the term "in spite of", would you?  Dr. OblameO Ebola Welby MD. is gobbling up land big time.  The current decline of oil seems to be the result of a trade war involving Saudi Arabia against most of the major producers, a dynamic that your poor addled Lightworker appears to be completely oblivious of.  Surprise,  surprise

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Will the new calendar, the method of measuring the passing of time to record history, start with 2009AD(Afore the Darkie) or 2016AD(Ater the Darkie)?

Hey, and what about average out-of-pocket healthcare costs and percentage covered by insurance?
