Unemployment rate up; obama's bullshitt attack machine will intensify

[stevenash]

Obama Blames State and Local Governments, Congress for 14.1 Percent Black Unemployment

Black unemployment still stands at nearly 14%. How do you communicate that the economy is headed in the right direction?," the editor in chief of Black Enterprise asks Obama.
"Most economists will tell you that there is no doubt the economy has gotten stronger, but we are digging ourselves out a deep hole. There are a lot more things we could be doing. To get them done, we need cooperation of Congress. We got the payroll tax portion of [my American Jobs Act] done, but what we didn’t get done is the assistance I was proposing to the states to help them hire back teachers, firefighters, and first responders, because one of the weakest parts of this recovery has been state and local government hiring," Obama responds.
"Given the weaknesses of the construction industry, the American Jobs Act proposed that we rebuild schools, roads, bridges, airport, and ports. That would provide small businesses with opportunities as contractors and vendors in this rebuilding process. Again, Congress needs to act."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, black unemployment in the month of July was at 14.1 percent.
Additionally, Obama was asked, “How do you respond to criticism that your administration hasn’t done enough to support black businesses?”



Banks fault, Congress fault, Bush fault, Republican fault.
It's everybody else's fault but Obama.

That's the trouble with you Bohemian butt cracks. Getting back to Clinton era unemployment rates ain't gonna
happen over night, if ever. I can see everyone bitching about our economy if Europe's was doing better than us.

We have a world economy now. Do I have to make the letters 5" tall in bright red?

The blacks always have high unemployment. Mostly due to where they live and why work when you can get
everything for free? If they do want to move to an area that has work, they might not be educated enough.

Even women are having a hard time getting hired. Employers don't want employees who will take off a couple
of times a week to take care of kid problems.

Its sad and bizarre that this president and his supporters expect absolutely zero out of a 2nd term. At least Thor finally admitted it. I say give him a 2nd term and let him play lame duck while the conservatives swarm into power in the mid terms. He can't come up with any compromises so let the filibusters run the clock out on him.

There was a recent bill voted on that ended giving tax breaks for out sourcing American jobs and also giving tax breaks for companies that wanted to come home. Three Republicans voted for it and the rest voted against it. Are these the people you want running the country Johnny? This was a win win slam dunk all around and the Republicans voted against it. Now you tell me why they voted against this bill Johnny? This might have been one of their most despicable moves but i have more Johnny if you want to listen. Let me repeat it again cause you are a little thick headed sometimes Johnny. The Republicans shot down a recent bill that ended outsourcing tax breaks for companies that shipped our jobs overseas and in the same bill any company that wanted to set shop back in the great ole USA would get tax breaks to come home. This is what Obama is negotiating with? Johnny do you agree we should keep giving those tax breaks to companies that want to leave? Obama would have signed that billl in a NY second but again the Republicans fought to keep it off of their desk to benefit corporations paying slave wages in another country. If it wasn't so sad it would be hysterical.

[Thor4140]

republicans swarm into power and Romney has the same plan Bush had. So instead of having a plus amount of jobs at the end of the month we can go back to bleeding 8oo,ooo jobs a month. History is not a strong Republican asset

[stevenash]

Obama looked us in the eyes and vowed to keep unemployment under 8 percent. That was, what? one of the top two or three promises.
I gave him a chance, but at the end of the day it's going to turn out that the Obama administration is the only administration in history to show a 'new loss' of jobs.

His plans were half baked, shovel ready was a failure, green and solar technology? Solyndra at best was a clusterfuck, total scam.

That's it go vote for the other party who lied right to your face about Iraq and even before that about nation building. Over 4000 kids were killed but you rather be mad at a guy who said unemployment would be under 8 percent. This is what the country is up against. A nitwit like you. Let me guess? Mississippi? If it wasn't for that stimulus unemployment would be 12 percent but when you are brainwashed that if failed over and over again it is par for the course.

It will never be possible to take you leftards seriously when you make statements like this without providing the full details of such a bill and have no clue about the full ramifications. Obama got his trillion dollar stimulus, and it was a total bust. Mayby 8% went for infrastructure and the rest went for political paybacks and to prop up local governments and less than a year later, the local governments went up anyway. Why should anybody trust you leftard assclowns with anything, unless of course you get a gubmint check and want to ride out the gravy train as long as possible.

[KingJD31]

I know Thor bush is the almighty of republicans whatever bush did Romney will do, do you even care obama has spent more money than anyone is history has nothing to show for it, we are all going to pay the price for like fuel and energy is going to be threw the roof to attempt to pay this off, or our country can just be socialist and then a janitor earns as much money as a doctor then we don't have to worry about higher prices

6 trillion in,one term and admits he wants to spend more and none of it going towards the debt

You do know, no one knows how smart/ dumb anyone is until they talk or type, right?

Go look up the bill fuk face because the party you swear by did in fact sell the country down the road by voting no on that bill. Despicable really. You tell me shit bag what possible problems could American politicians have with that bill? Only a dirt bag would vote against that bill and only an absolute asshole would agree with the dirt bags who voted against that bill. By the way the stimulus was not a trillion dollars and Bush got stimulus money also. U keep on eating up the bullshit on how the stimulus didn't work. Sure it didn't jump start the economy an get every single person working but it help stabilize unemployment because we were headed into a depression thanks to the Bush policies (wars not paid for, Prescription plans not paid for, tax breaks during war time not paid for etc.., )that almost killed this country. Also the stimulus had those back breaking tax breaks in them. If he didn't have that waste of money which creates nothing, it would be under 8 percent. As for spending again you are so fuking wrong it is laughable to even read your nonsense. Facts are a pesky thing.

[Thor4140]

Hey douchebag again Romney took Obama's words and distorted them but you are just such a moron you didn't even realize it. Obama was talking about Clintons policies as "our plans", when he said that years ago. Mitt knows he needs that all important gullible vote so he just chops up any shit and runs with it, because jackasses like you believe every thing his team throw's out there. Pity really. So it looks like you support a guy deceiving you with statements that are totally false yet the purpose is to make them look true for nitwits to run with them.

[KingJD31]

Clinton and Obama completely different Obama was voted most liberal senate in 2007 for a reason. I have no problem with normal dems Clinton one of the best presidents, you never want to have your president to be voted most liberal or conservative that is dangerous and we have had that back to back presidents,.

Here's a thought, the next time Obama doesn't want anything taken out of context, maybe he should get it right the first time.
p.s. "you didn't build that" also wasn't taken out of context, he meant what he said. See what happens when he goes off teleprompter, he tells us exactly what he means, instead of reading what his writers tell him what he has to say.

p.s. your little douche bag and moron and nitwit comments don't phase me, only the ignorant argue with perjoratives. But if it makes you feel good, have at it.

Well you are a nitwit just like you are for thinking he meant the business owner didn't build the business. You can't be that stupid to think that but than again i saw a lot of other idiots who got sucked up in the same nonsense. By the way do you know MItt's plans? I hear 95 percent of us are gonna get hit with a tax hike while the top 5 percent are gonna get another wind fall of money. Don't you have a problem with that or do you like your money going to people who don't need it? How is it helping the economy that my hard earn money goes to people making more money then they can count? LIke Warren Buffet said "we have class warfare in this country and my class is winning" That is basically a billionaire laughing all the way to the bank. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.

America’s individual tax code applies relatively high marginal tax rates on a narrow tax base. Those high rates discourage work and entrepreneurship, as well as savings and investment. With 54 percent of private sector workers employed outside of corporations, individual rates also define the incentives for job-creating businesses. Lower marginal tax rates secure for all Americans the economic gains from tax reform.

• Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates
• Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains
• Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains
• Eliminate the Death Tax
• Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

Come back to me when you know what you are talking about.

I've said this before, my wife's g/f works in Norwalk, she's a social worker, she tells me, in front of the application where you fill out the data to file for food stamps, is a voter registration form.
I kid you not.

[KingJD31]

You are beyond dumb do you just make up stuff to make it more dramatic? Here's some facts what you said to Nash, he might have been misquoted but the idea is the same business owners give more money to the govt, and the Warren buffet comment billionaires like to save public face by saying they should pay more so they don't seem greedy but we can play that game, Disney CEO bob iger just said today who is a registered democrat by the way, that Obama needs to lower taxes to 28 percent "we're not looking to get off lightly, we're looking to get taxed fairly"

Obama's policies are right of Reagans. You know that guy u righties wack off to every chance you get.

Mittens will get Santorium's voters too. if the Obamaites think this is going to be a slam dunk election, they are delusional, this will be GW Bush versus Algore close.

Go look up the bill fuk face

Post the bill fuk face, along with its full ramifications, since you are the one making this argument.


I gave you specifics regarding the stimulus, which you can't refute. And Obama and the Dems continued Bush tax breaks. You might notice that government revenue increased and the deficit decreased for 4 years after the tax breaks were full implemented in 2003. Frankly, you have nothing to offer other than lefterd talking points you probably heard on the Daily Show.

The biggest joke in this thread is the feigned outrage over unemployment.

#1 - The number is always worse than reported
#2 - The same people who pretend to be mad now, were quiet while the number doubled during term 2 of the previous POTUS
#3 - The same people accuse those without jobs of being lazy, but blame Obama for not filling their CV's

Where's all this $5 gas? Where's the 6000 dow?

At least try to be less obvious that you're only "mad" about the unemployment rate because none of your predictions in 2008 came to pass.

1) Excuse me? The real unemployment rate is double digits.

The *average* price for a gallon of gas in Illinois is now 4.06
Now gas may not get to 5.00, but it's climbing.
