OK - I'll play your game. What exactly did those Presidents do that helped out so much with unemployment? Ah, the usual Repbulican't argument - except when they're talking about Reagan. Guess it's because he's the only one who actually had unemployment go down while they were in office. Also, why doesn't President Obama use that proven method, because no one has duplicated his record for accumulated deficits see above , and according to Keynesian theory, pumping up the economy is needed during recessions the beginning of a nice, lawyerly circular argument . (I've also heard the one about it would have been Armegedden without Obama - but I heard the same about the sequester. Apples and oranges and the other half of the circular argument). Uh, how many percentage points has the unemployment rate dropped since he has been in office?You tell me, Hammer, Jr. Or can't you count?
Please spare me the Bush depression and congressional obstructionism why should I, it's a fact or don't you fool with such silly little things? - they hated ole Bill but he either lucked out or worked miracles - why can't our esteemed President get the job done 4 years later? Here it comes - wait - hold on just a little longer - OK, here it is: Because, though they hated BJ Bill, the Republican'ts in Congress WERE NOT OBSTRUCTIONISTS - get that, Hammer?
