Nope, crying about the President not creating jobs then claiming to not being a Socialist makes YOU look foolish.

Remember obama's promises? UE below 8% with HIS stimulus. An immediate jolt to the economy with HIS stimulus. Biden claiming 500,000 jobs a month are right around the corner....last summer?

With millions of folks either getting new jobs or losing their jobs every month (which accounts for the 'net' figure of 54,000 for this week), that's just more bad news for the biggest and most prolific liar to ever occupy the White House.
Toss in $5.00/gallon for gasoline in some places recently, and there's no way for the Democrats to spin these abysmal numbers.
When you toss in the folks who are currently working part-time but who want full-time work are combined with those who want to work but have given up looking, the actual unemployment rate is a staggering 15.8%, according to the Orange County Register.
It is amazing the Left thinks obama can be re-elected with this RECORD.

So what’s the hard-right response? We just throw up our hands, and say that having 12 million or so adults who should be working out of work, and roughly $1 trillion per year of output we should be producing not getting produced, is just a fact of life.
Nov 2012.
Get the radical in the WH out of the way of pro-growth, pro-business, pro-capitalist strategies that create jobs, instead of the radical anti-business, hostile tax and regulatory environment obama has created.
This has been the most miserable recovery in modern history.
Since the Great Depression, I believe.

By the way, the unemployment rate has been below 9% for just five months since Obama took office — and three of those months were in the first 12 weeks of his presidency, before his policies took effect.
Recession ended in June 2009, just about the same time obamanomics started kicking in. Coincidence? I don't think so.

How about the head wind of bad government policies that, based on Congressional Budget Office data, have cost the economy over $760 billion in lost economic output in the past two years — and millions of jobs?
Well, obama and the Left ALWAYS have the excuse of BOOSHBOOSHBOOSHBOOSH!
We should be adding hundreds of thousands of jobs every month.....but obama and his radicalism stands in the way.
This is what business has been telling him for over a year.

Obama's economics folks forecast that we'd be at 8% ur now Without the stimulus bill. Bad forecasting or bad policy.
Private sector up 83,000. Seems to be slowing, even the Repubs are starting to realize we must invest in jobs in areas that do not exist right now. May be time to have a WPA type program to rebuild Infrastructure until innovation can create the future jobs. The Country is in trouble and need the Repubs to engage in trying to resolve some problems, rather than perpetuating them.
Government does not make jobs. It already spends every dollar confiscated in taxes and borrows another $1.65 trillion a year to add to the debt. Every time it prints more dollars without backing (known as "quantitative easing), even if to pay for a "make-work" job, all it is doing is further devaluing the currency--devaluing every dollar you earn, every dollar you save, every dollar you have claim to in the future. It is called the "steal tax" of dollar devaluation. Our government has already done this to such a massive extent that we are guaranteed an economy limping along and trying to avoid total collapse, until the whole house of cards falls and we start over.
We really can't do it any faster: the powers-that-be are just praying the hyperinflation and stagflation don't hit until after the 2012 elections. Foreign nations know we are devaluing the dollar as fast as possible, and are offloading their investments in dollars as quickly and secretly as possible to avoid everyone dumping dollars at once. If that happens, we have Weimar Germany hyperinflation.
Private industry makes jobs. Our private industry has been suffocated by a huge, micro-managing and insatiably greedy government. There is only one way out of this mess, and that is to slash the size and power of government, particularly Federal, to negligible levels. The problem is that the people in power will slaughter the citizens in the streets before they allow that to happen. So we have a choice: a Libertarian movement backed by the majority of citizens that will accept no compromise, or continued quick decline toward total economic collapse, then Third World status (although still with everyone working being robbed blind with high taxes).
In spite of all those grandparents out there declaring that they live for their grandchildren, I'll bet we're looking at continued decline and inevitable collapse.
As you conveniently ignore the links that prove obama has increased the fed workforce.
Should be easy to find and link to then, shouldn't it?
Besides, this is just a tangent to the NEWS of the day - the abysmal jobs number and OTHER abysmal economic indicators.
Oh, I'm sorry that your browser doesn't get Google. I was stating the obvious in that post -- the huge rises and falls at the beginning of each decade was census taker temporary jobs. If you don't believe that, the onus is on you to disprove it, not to ask me to be your research assistant.
I didn't present it as a tangent, i presented it as a footnote. You are the one dwelling upon it.
If the government doesn't make jobs, how is it that you are blaming President Obama for not creating jobs?
The bottom line from what I'm reading here is that government only has two tools to effect the economy, fiscal and monetary policy, and the rightwingers here don't want the government to use either tool.

They also have a tool called "stay the hell out of the way" which has shown success.
I wish they would, NAFTA, CAFTA, SHAFTA. Remember Ross Perot saying if NAFTA were signed the giant sucking sound we would hear would be the loss of jobs?

Oh, you people who do not worship ala the far left the Messiah pain me. Give credit where it is due:
Bad forecasting AND bad policy
