The weekly unemployment claim is up again and is now at 382,000!! There are now 5.4 million people collecting jobless benefits.

Way to go Obama! Oh wait....I guess we need to blame Bush for this one.

People need to wake up. Americans are hurting and Obama is not capable of getting us out of this gross destruction.

How many jobs does he need to make before you are satisfied? Just curious. PS, don't blame Bush, he didn't make this mess.
Do you think Romney is going to fix this with tax breaks for the wealthy?

Nice try at attempting to deflect and twist the truth! you lefties must be born with that accomplishment.

Obama is not making jobs. He has attemtpted to create, and mostly unsuccessfully, government jobs. The economy is worse than ever and still going downhill and there is no one to blame but Obama.

Now the fed is speaking of more stimulus or something in a desperate attempt to boost the economy.

While your attempt to outline Romneys plan is nothing but a pack of lies....ANYTHING will be better than Obamas losing economic plan.

It's really not that hard to figure out but let me try and help you. Obama took over office with a 7.8% UE rate. Now, almost 4 years later, we are sitting at an UE rate of 8.3%. Now, with that said, would one be correct in believing you are satisfied with these numbers?

Thank you for so aptly explaining a simple concept. However, lefties choose not to see the truth, so they will try to deflect and twist these dismall job FACTS.

Whats the point? You have google and can just as easily search the stats from the Dept of Labor. That way, you can make an argument to yourself about how they're inaccurate and I dont have to be involved at all!

Okay. I took your advice and headed on over to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics and this is what I found:

12,544,000: The Number Of Unemployed Workers.

8,031,000: The Number Of Workers Working Part-Time For Economic Reasons.

5,033,000: The Number Of Workers Who Have Been Unemployed for 27 Weeks or More.

1,043,000: Construction Jobs Lost Since President Obama Took Office.

582,000 Manufacturing Jobs Lost Since President Obama Took Office.

368,000: Workers That Dropped Out Of The Labor Force In August.

41,000: Downward Revision Of Jobs Created Over The Last Two Months.

15,000: Manufacturing Jobs Lost In August.

1981: The Last Time The Labor Force Participation Rate Was at Its Current Level of 63.5 Percent.

43: Consecutive Months The Unemployment Rate Has Remained Above Eight Percent.

39.2 Weeks: The Average Duration Of Unemployment – Nearly Double The 19.8 Weeks When President Obama Took Office.

14.7 Percent: The Real Unemployment Rate, Including Those That Are Working Part-Time Due To Economic Reasons.

11.2 Percent: The Unemployment Rate Had Labor Force Participation Remained Steady Since President Obama Took Office.

8.4 Percent: The Unemployment Rate Had Labor Force Participation Remained Steady From July 2012.

8.1 Percent: The Unemployment Rate In August 2012.

7.8 Percent: The Unemployment Rate When President Obama Took Office.

5.4 Percent: The Unemployment Rate President Obama’s Advisers Predicted If We Passed His $787 Billion Stimulus.


I'll await your response but I won't hold my breath.
