And gas is about to top $4.00 so what's your point?
And Obama is responsible for the Gas Prices and unrest in the middle east ...how?..... Like Bush was responsible when gas prices went over $4.00 a Gallon during his Republican administration??????????????
Bottom Line - Wall Street closes mixed after Dow tops 13,000 (http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/21/10466512-wall-street-closes-mixed-after-dow-tops-13000 - broken link)
You still want to say Obama is not doing jack the facts are the facts the economy is moving in the right direction
QE3.
Printing money always brings the stock market up. Go back to econ. 101 please.
How about making it easier and cheaper for AMERICAN oil companies to refine and produce their oil here in the US instead of them sending it to China and other countries because they can actually make a profit.
How much does it cost to fill up your tank when Obama took office and how much it is now?
How much does it cost to get your weekly grocery when Obama took office and how much it is now?
How many people were unemployed when Obama took office and after trillions spent, how many of are unemployed now? I am not talking about the government's way to measure unemployment, where you are only count as unemployed if you are collecting an unemployment check.
How many jobs were lost per month when Obama took office, and how many are added now?

There isn't even enough jobs being added to account for population growth. The bleeding has stopped, but we are still a long ways from real recovery, and $5 gas is going to push real recovery even farther into the future if its even possible. Its interesting that the worst of the job losses happened after Obama was elected. Businesses knew the kind of uncertainty Obama would bring to the market because of his anti-business policies, and its very likely that intensified the job losses during the last two months of 2008 and the first few months of 2009. If the market really believed in "Hope & Change" it would have rallied the day after Obama was elected but instead had one of its worst days ever.

Unfortunately, this isn't a positive for Obama. Everything that has been so utterly miserable for the last three years has been 100% George W Bush's fault. So in order to be consistent, the only person you can rightly credit with the economic recovery that has finally showed up is George W Bush.

What do you just make stuff up as you go along and hope nobody calls you on it? Here is the unemployment rate over time, obviously the greatest acceleration was during 2008:

The definition of the U-3 unemployment figure is available on the internet, and it has nothing to do with whether one is collecting an unemployment check.

What QE3? It is still a proposal being thrown about, in fact just today a Fed official mentioned it wasn't needed at this point:
The Federal Reserve should only embark on a third round of large-scale bond purchases if the U.S. economy deteriorates and inflation drops, and we are not there yet, a top Fed official said on Friday.

Oh, you wish it were so, but you know better. Presidents don't have that kind of power. Bush got more blame than he deserved and Obama will get more credit (and re-elected).

Wow, it's comments like this that cause me to lose faith in my fellow Americans.
The current President of the US for the last 50 years has had a large impact on the prices of gas. Gas is made from oil, and us harrassing folks in the Middle East has a huge impact on the price of oil. Have you noticed the spike in the last month since we starting causing trouble with Iran yet again?
It is so laughable how people truly think there is a difference between the Dems and Repubs. The average American is being manipulated by tptb, and I can't help but shake my head in disgust. A hundred years ago there was a difference between the two parties, but corruption and greed won over long ago. The term sheeple truly does apply to our current times.

Do some research and look outside Fox, CNN and NBC news and you are going to realize that we have been misled for decades. Follow the money to see who is behind everything, and above all, fear Monsanto!!! You will eventually realize that a select number of families owns and controls EVERYTHING. Food, healthcare, and overall, our money. Power is everything to these people.
