Barack Obama, our next President

Both sides lie. Remember GW's "No child left behind"? Or his pledge to bring both sides in Congress together? Bush led the most divisive presidency in our history.
When Obama took over, the recession was a tsunami breaking over the economic landscape. Remember the 500,000 jobs being lost per month under Bush?
That momentum wasn't going to magically stop just because the White House had a new occupant.

No Child Left Behind was a very BIPARTISAN bill and as much a part of Ted Kennedy's legacy as Bush's. It passed the House 384–45, and the Senate 91–8.

Yes, I remember the job loss.

I also remember promises of Shovel Ready Jobs, transparency, no more lobbyists in the WH, and even one to reduce earmarks to 1994 levels, etc., etc., etc..

I could go on and on, but why bother?

You LIE almost as well as he does.
fact:
The UNemployment rate in all 40 months of Obama’s presidency has been higher than that of any single month in Bush’s 8 years in office.

I didn't lie about anything.

How "objective" of you to blame Obama for the unemployment caused by Bush's recession.

Or are you going to argue the 500,000 jobs being lost each month under GW is Obama's fault?

Ridiculous.

Because GW got 4,000 killed after lying us into an unnecessary war in Iraq.

<quoted text>There was a record 57 months of positive job growth during the Bush administration and negative 40 months for Obama. Obama anti prosperity policy has net zero jobs.

Which is misleading. That expansion was fueled by a housing bubble which was blown by Greenspan's low interest rates.

When it finally popped, much of the job growth you cite went with it.

Bush left office with one of the lowest job growth rates of all time.

Hello, human diary. It is I again, Mitt Romney, your better.

As part of my campaign's ongoing plan to receive endorsement from as wide a collection of previously failed candidates as possible, thus making me look more competent by comparison, I appeared today with previously failed candidate John McCain. This time around my staff was doubly sure that the senator knew my name before the appearance, as we have had some difficulty with that in the past. Today's event was held to honor American veteran units, in the form of having them honor me. It is also a part of my crash course in foreign events, as Eric F. hopes that by associating me with veterans, some veteran-ness will rub off on me.

Sen. McCain and I were reminiscing about the war. I still remember those dark days. I was in France at the time, after being excused from military duty in order to more profitably spend my time attempting to convert France to my religion. It was a traumatic experience for me. I still remember the look on each French face as I told them that part of converting would be that they could no longer drink alcohol. At some points, I feared for my very life.(Mr. McCain listened very politely to my experiences, but did not say much.)

That is all I wish to discuss today, Mr. Diary. Remembering France is always tiring, and so I do not speak of it often.

First, I don't lie.

Second, you're not lying either.

But taking your argument a step further and blaming Obama for unemployment resulting from Bush's recession is dishonest.

How many times must I repeat we were losing 500,000 jobs per month during Bush's final days in office?

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

We were at 7.8% unemployment and losing 600,000 jobs per month.

http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet...

November 2008: The economy lost 533,000 jobs, and unemployment rose to 6.7%.

December, 2008: The economy lost 524,000 jobs, and unemployment rose to 7.2%. Both are increasing faster than in the 2001 recession.

January 2009: The economy lost 598,000 jobs, and unemployment rate rose to 7.6%.

It was Bush who committd us to Afghanistan and then failed to wrap it up after 7 years. Obama is simply trying to finish the headache left behind.

Committing us to that hellhole for at least another decade isn't simply trying to "finish" anything.

When GW Bush left office, the economy nearly crashed. Even after the March 2009 bail-outs, we've been on life support, thanks to the GOP.
Do you really think bailing out GM, AIG and the major banks was going to be cheap? Not to mention millions of Americans out of work and in need of unemployment benefits.
Think again.

The democrat authored mortgage disaster and the incessant and ever increasing welfare state is ruining us, get an education.

something for nothing, the always democrat plan.

Sure, start with the government attempting to force religious institutions to provide birth control while disguising it as a gallant fight against "war on women".

think a hardcore crook county lib that voted for the insider wallstreet rip off

How many times must you be told it's three and a half years later and roughly 2 million less people are working TODAY than in January, 2009.

Yawn...rack time.
