OK, I'll answer your question even though you didn't answer mine. I support breast cancer research. Do you? Do you support Komen? As you know, Planned Parenthood doesn't pay for mammograms (perhaps you can tell us why not). Regardless, Komen has reinstated funding to PP. I'm not an ardent supporter of PP, but I don't have a problem with Komen's decision to reinstate funding. PP does a few good things so perhaps the funding will go toward those things and not its liberal, baby-killing machine. Now, back to my question: Are you saying that Obama is hiring people?
Why would you even ask that? The RW'er can't say that Obama has made the recession worse often enough. All the objective economic indicators say that the economy is improving. It just seems to me that the only thing that is getting worse is the GOP's chances of electing anyone from the Right. That's all I'm saying. I've made no claims about who created the jobs but I have heard it was mostly small businesses. Nice trap you're trying to set though. I'm just not stepping into your snare.
No trap. Just trying to find answers. You said in the OP, "Obama is making this [sic] things worse". Of course, this is a facetious statement since you mean "Obama is making these things better". I'm simply asking HOW you think Obama is making things better. Is Obama hiring people? That's all I'm asking... and waiting for an answer...
The OP (which I corrected thank you) says the the GOP must be right [that] Obama has made things worse.....for them anyway. RW'er continue to push this line of BS that Obama made the economy worse and yet they never say exactly how he is making things worse or why they call an obviously improving economy worse. I never said that Obama himself is hiring people in any capacity but if the RW wants to blame him for making the economy worse, he should also get the credit when it improves. It can't just work one way. Now you can agree with that can't you? BTW Forgive my hasty typing.
If BO is able to get unemployment below where it was when he took over then I'll give him kudos. By celebrating U/E still being higher than he promised it would ever be (remember the justification for his billions of stimulus spending was to keep U/E under 8%) is like celebrating a team being 1-99 as opposed to 0-100...neither one is good enough.
Unemployment isn't down any where I live. In fact, population drain due to lost jobs equal people leaving. Then there are those who have been out of work so long that they are no longer consider unemployed but welfared
"The drop in the unemployment rate put it exactly where it was in February 2009, the month after Obama took office." "Unemployment was 6.8 percent when Obama was elected, 7.8 percent when he was sworn in and 10 percent, its recent peak, nine months later." "No president since World War II has won re-election with unemployment higher than 7.2 percent." "11 million people either have stopped looking for jobs or are working part-time and would rather work full-time. When those people are added to the 12.8 million unemployed, nearly 24 million are considered underemployed." http://www.newsday.com/classifieds/...ort-as-dow-closes-at-four-year-high-1.3501539
Excuse the cut job on your post but wanted to highlight this aspect of it. Could be wrong but from my viewpoint unemployment is getting worse the longer the recesssion/regional depression lasts. More and more people are falling off the unemployment radar. 1. People working two or three part time jobs but not considered unemployed. 2. People going on public assistance. 3. Two income earning family households dropping to one and the other one falls off the radar. 4. Do not know the length of time now but at one point once someone used up their time for unemployment insurance time period they were dropped from the rolls and the stats. See number 2 and 3.
