You're an idiot.

You do realize the country was on the brink of a depression right? Obviously, these numbers need to be taken in context. I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue that the country is where it needs to be economically...but you can make the case that things are getting better. I don't understand what timeframe you're working on regarding seeing improvements in the economy, but I would I would think it's common sense that it would require 8 years to improve an economy that was destroyed after 8 years of failed policy.

Well the timeframe Obama gave said that by now we would be under 6% so if you have an issue with people's expectations you should take it up with the President.
And a presidential term is 4 years not 8; Obama has to make a case as to why he shuld be re-elected and "this job is hard" and "I need more time" are not good excuses especially not when the progress being made is so paltry.

:umad:So Money Makin Mitt wasn't fronting at the debate? No one said the economy was fixed....but to deny that there is growth is just foolish. It needs to be better. Congressional republicans should have helped out a little bit. I just was turned off by Scarborough this morning. No matter what economic reporter or analyst tried to explain, Joe wasn't having it...hilarious

Economic Analyst: This is good news for Obama,It's not great but it shows progress :manny:

Scarborough ::whoa: How did the rate drop with only 114k jobs added???1?!?1

Willie: I don't understand it either Joe

Economic Analyst: Jobs numbers for July/August have been (gets interrupted)

Scarborough: Willie help me out I don't understand it.We need someone to explain it to us !!!! :damn:

Wilie::leon:

Random CEO: :damn: Job rate doesn't matter,it's about GDP growth.This means nothing.OBAMA SUCKS!!

Analyst- :why: #'s for July and August have been readjusted to show.....(gets interrupted)...

Joe: We have to take a break,Hopefully we can make sense of this before the show ends.

The fed pumped, curiously, right before the election. And somehow the Fed is an independant "private" institution. The phillips curve breaks down in the long-term, so this was a clearly a move to change voters minds right before the election.

I think I am going to party like it's 1999 when that fukking faq loses. Fukk em.

:rudy: May I ask what motive the gawd Ben Shalom would have for trying to get Obama re-elected? You know he's a lifelong Republican right?

Also, you don't really think Obama is losing do you?

after this year, the GOP should just go ahead and clean house. they've been an embarrassing excuse of a party since Bush 2000.
when these idiots lose, their gonna wreak havoc on congress (once again) @ the expense of common folk - - - - - then blame it on NoBama :childplease:

and quit with that black/white shiet cuz not all the right leaners are white. the majority yes, but not all. shyt always gotta be "racially-motivated" in this bih!!! :mad: :pacspit:

this fool really said its not enough? Progress isnt enough? does he expect unemployment to just disappear one day??? :snoop: man i swear .....

it could have been 2% and he'd have been like
"oh so i guess just fuk that 2% Obama don't love you.

Obama could cure cancer, aids, find an infinite free amount of energy, end all corruption, divide by zero and they'd still find something to biotch about.

I think the numbers obviously help some independents clear the pyschological hurdle to be more optimistic about Obama. Given the history of the unemplyment rate over the last few years, the fact that "7" is the leading figure is just much more attractive than "8" anything. This is a slight score for democrats, but he still has to lick his wounds after his performance at the debate.

Thanks for proving just how politically naive and generally stupid you are in one post so that it will save me from having to bother replying to you anymore.
this is what ppl say when they dont recognize real. go ahead and ignore me, but i've seen the numbers. unemployment was on the rise when the last pres was headed out the door. and considering where we were in 09, 7.8% is progress. if you wanna ignore that, be my guest.....
