Job numbers

Yssup Rider's Avatar
When Obama took office in January 2009, unemployment was 7.8%.

Odumbo, et al, promised he would reduce unemployment to 5.2%.

When the 112 Congress opened for business in 2011, unemployment was 9%.

The unemployment numbers today are 7.9%.

Just an FYI, CBJ7.

Almost every time you post you show your ass.

Sad you don't know it.

Have you voted yet? Or can you?

Your hero owns that "tell-tail" sign of a recession ... "low gasoline prices."

... the list just keeps growing.

BT, did you feel real good about yourself when you marked the box for him?

I mean were you deeply proud of yourself and your analytical skills?

I know this isn't a PEA (Political Experts Anonymous) meeting, but .....

... just for your thoughts and personal reflection. A rhetorical question for introspection.

I B's still crying his itty, bitty eyes out over the Candy Crowley moderated debate. The thread about that debate was a classic exchange. I had a smile on my face for days.
