Read it and weep. Obama gets too much flak than he deserves, and most of the time, it's mostly just talking points by Republicans who do nothing but hoot, holler, scratch their underarms and shoot their guns. OK they don't actually do that but they may as well, they'd do more than they usually do.
800 billion in spending and you like these results?Record number of months now at above 9% since the great depression and you applaud that result with 1.4 trillion spent in 11 months.Well at least someone likes it ;I guess.

Whats humorous is you looked at the chart and ignored the fact that it begins in Oct 07, after Democrats took over Congress.. It doesnt for a second pertray the 8 years of Bushs term and indeed ignores the fact that there has been period of time of huge job growth under Bush far exceeding the 863K under Obama
If you want to ONLY count 2010 under Obama, then you ONLY count one selective year under Bushs.. You cant compare 2010 to the whole period under Bush because you selectively ignore the 2009 losses.. Only a fool would do such a thing..
The chart on the same story shows that they are wrong.. Look at the job growth for 2004 for example, which had job growth twice of Obamas 2010 year.
Same old story has been posted and disputed numerous times.. Now that its election time, I see we're rehashing the same old charts based upon statistics which lie..

You really need to post this in that Unemployment forum so they'll know it's time to get to work.
This chart is like Bernie Madoff claiming he's had 20% growth in his stock portfolio because he ignored the 99% losses which took place previously..
Do you understand that Bush had 1,500,000 new jobs in 2004? Twice what Obama created in 2010? How about 2005 when nearly 2M new jobs were created. You cant selectively pick and choose ONLY 2010 and then compare them to ALL of the Bush years wihtout indeed looking stupid.. But thats exactly what is being done..
Are you seriously going to pretend that all of those positive months under Bush were lower than the ones under Obama? See the spikes?
Yes - but you have to admit it's better than losing that 500 million jobs a month like we were. 500 million jobs a month is a lot - as Pelosi realizes.
