And yes, I expect you'll scream at the sources and/or focus on the dates, forgetting the fact that it's actually worse now than a year ago. I win:)

http://www.miseryindex.us/URbymonth.asp Oh snap, unemployment has steadied out and is improving.

As for the deficit and debt, as stated... when you correct the dirty books that Bush was running, not putting the war costs on the books, of course the numbers that were already extremly bad and the worst in history, get corrected and actually show how bad the damage is. Today, we're paying for that... suck it up and credit the damage to the proper person.

I hope you're not putting all your 'things are worse' on Obama over unemployment... that would be rather laughable.

Oh snap!! What's even funnier is you're using the census jobs that were created as an argument for "unemployment is going down!!" Lol, I'm enjoying this.

See that big increase in jobs lost on the left, vs. the decrease under Obama's side? That's an improvement...

If half the time Obama stopped the increase, and so far hasn't had enough time to compare an improvement.

Or that Obama revels in new jobs created in the government, who are paid with the taxes of those that are still employed, I have to wonder what kind of fuzzy math you guys are snorting?

Obama = FAIL on Jobs
Obama = FAIL on everything, he pushed the health care bill that we can't afford and don't want, he doesn't care, he has his agenda
Obama = FAIL on the oil spill, you guys that support Obama were all over GW's shit over Katrina, but that hardly compares to the major fuck up to the world under the Obama Administration
You guys voted in Obama because of the wars GW started, here we are 18 months later
He's going down as the biggest loser as a president
His approval rating has dropped faster than any president, even faster that GW, it's took years for GW's ratings to drop, for Obama it was months

How about you give Obama that amount of time Reagan required or does he only get 1/8 the the time, for some reason?

Obama is trying to help the middle class now that the GOP has placed the US in its worst position of our lifetime, and the Obama haters are so blinded by their own hatred, that rather than work together for a common good, they would rather just bash Obama, so that what? So that the same people that got us here can get back in power?

Sad...

Really, I am stupid... help me understand why this is different than Viet Nam or Korea... or were those unfunded wars too?

The Demon posted the URL, I simply posted the chart... so you might want to correct who brings the chart up.

Obama hasn't had enough time to improve on jobs based on how long it has taken every other president in history.

I love the healthcare bill and know tons of people that do as well.

Of course people dieing and being forgot about and starving and blacks being rounded up after Katrina is far less of a problem than whatever Obama hasn't done with the Oil spill that you think he should have done.

I didn't vote for Obama...

You might want to check the approval rating statistics again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...pproval_rating

Tax breaks for the rich did not help anyone but the rich.

Tax breaks for corporations that fuck the middle class did not help.

Starting two unfunded wars in the middle east was not wise.

Continuing our reliance on fossil fuels, especially oil, does not help.

Allowing politicians to be funded by special interests does not help.

ETC...

Instead of complaining about Obama non-stop, how about offering solutions?

PS - If your solutions are already listed above, please try again.

Pull out of the two wars completely, drill for domestic oil, control it to supply the US first, then sell to other countries to bring down the price of oil world wide, taking away the money from the middle east and bankrupt them like Reagan brought down the USSR with star wars. Then when the economy can handle it, work on green energy, fire up the nuclear reactors and run them like the military runs reactors on a nuclear sub, no worries.

We've had this discussion, Obama even said that less people are paying ANY taxes, it's because poor people and most middle income people pay ZERO taxes, so any tax cuts that only benefit the rich, it's just a way for the democratic machine to spin it.

If I saw one thing that would indicate that things might get better, I would agree with you, but doing the math, it doesn't add up. And remember it got worse under a democrat controlled house and senate, so I'm not looking to the democrats to make things better

NAFTA was a republican fuck you from the get-go. Whoever didn't see this as a shift of the manufacturing base(and an attack on the middle class) was an imbecile.

Healthcare will never be reformed as long as lobbyists are free to throw money around like a drunken shriner at a whorehouse... without tort reform there will always be problems with health care costs and delivery.

The class warfare that the US taxcode inflicts on US society is nothing short of evil. The very wealthy pay little tax while those that work and make the economy click are ridden like beggars on a borrowed horse.

I would actually feel good about Obama if he pulled a JFK on our dependency on oil. JFK made it a national initiative to land a man on the moon. If Obama would set aside 1 trillion dollars to the first company that produced an internal combustion engine(or something equivalent) on a renewable energy source, our dependency on oil would all but cease. But that will never happen as the oil companies spend too much money in Washington.

I could go on and on about what should happen... but until money and politics aren't synonymous, I am just pissing in the wind. Obama sucks more than Bush. At least Obama is intelligent enough to know he's fucking America... Bush I am not so sure he had a clue.

I have long ago stopped paying attention to what is happening there. I really do not know what the answer is to that situation. I am jut sad that people continue to be killed and maimed there.
