Stop talking logic and facts please, or else I will have no choice but to ban you from this forum.

Thanks in advance.

Well I"m sorry to hear about your best fried, he did volunteer to serve this country, and now you disrespect his memory by coming here and not researching facts, but posting upon emotion.

p.s. my uncle has been in a looney bin for 20+ yeas and hasnt spoken a word since returning from the war he served in. Dont even pretend that there shouldnt be casualties in war.

2. Complain about the lack of morals "liberals" will bring into the country considering the countless accounts of scandal your administration has brought into our country. Overbearing, self-proclaimed conservative senator who turned out to be a peter pumper? Check. A search for WMD that do not exist in another country? check. Anyone want to add more to the list?

3. Complain about your lack of money, lack of job, lack of opportunity because you know what? The economy and country you are living in was voted by you, created by the congressional majority of your party, and ruined by the administration that you so believed in. You made your bed, NOW LIE IN IT!


...I just had to get that off my chest. I'm sure there will be many flames. But someone had to say it to you.

Let's start with what kind of jobs have been created under bush? The bush administration counts part-time and low-paying jobs as jobs created. Certainly, not good-paying, full-time jobs with health benefits. Once an individual is dropped from unemployment rolls, and stop looking, they are not counted as unemployed. One thing that's going to change under Obama: Companies that create jobs in the U.S. will be given tax breaks.

Business Cycle Expansions and Contractions

The last 2 recessions seem to correlate pretty well to a President named Bush being in office.

"More Than 8.3 Million Jobs Created Since August 2003 In Longest Continuous Run Of Job Growth On Record"

So what happened from Jan 2001 through August 2003, and after December 2007? I seem to remember some sort of a slowdown in the job market during those times. It doesn't quite fit with the claim that the economy grew each month under Bush.
