What momentum? Obama has LOST nearly 2M jobs since being elected, and now you see a slight sign of a bump, and you are willing to ignore Christmas hiring to proclaim Obama is a hero, while blaming the GOP for not passing the very bills you claim helped.
tell me Li, did Obama invent Christmas
Well Obama is the green maker of jobs.. all those companies employing all those people to make wind and solar panels . After all, Obama did push for more jobs in that sector and created more bankrupt corporations. What a job creator he is!
Unemployment dropped to 8.6%: it seems Obama's economic policies are working.....and now repugnant republicans blocked the extension of middle class social security tax cuts.... Showing the country yet again that they work for the rich, and the rich ONLY! Their 1% elite masters control them. Wake up people, dems are the only ones on working for the middle class.
Ok so which of Obama's policies lead to 300k to stop looking for work, in turn bringing down the UE percentage? And why is that suppose to be a good thing.
You liberals on here parading around like this is some sort of good news are astonishing to me. You get told the facts, maybe not by the media but by some of us, yet you continue to post this nonsense

The bad part is, they started loaning the corpoations who made "green enegy" using the stimulus bill at the same time they substantially reduced the demand for the products by reducing the credits they were giving the consumer.
The plan was almost doomed to fail from the offset, but Democratic supports use this as a sign to show how intelligent Obama is

Most are retirees. You're forgetting about baby boomers and our aging population.....not to mention that many outdoor seasonal jobs go away for the winter and come back in Feb march.

Of course, but jobs are jobs and there are many seasonal jobs like construction/ outdoor jobs that disappear for the winter so it evens out in that regard ..... this strong number indicates also that underemployment is dropping and hiring intentions are higher than we've seen in a while.
Why not post a graph showing all the Bush years, not just from 2008 on? Maybe because is would show the 52 consecutive months of job growth and an unemployment rate as low as 4.5%?
Why not go even further?
Bragging that Bush had 52 months of job growth sounds like a lot, except Bush was in office for 96 months, meaning that nearly half of Bush's term were job losses. Nothing to write home about.
The Bush economy, even during its good years, wasn’t all that great compared to Bush's predecessors and ended with the worst economy since The Depression. That's not much to brag about either. Bush was handed an economy from Clinton that average a gain of 350,000 jobs per month.
Obama was handed an economy losing 800,000 jobs per month and under his presidency it is turning around. It could have been a stronger if his policies were more expansionary and weren't hampered by the GOP.

Actually here you prove your ignorance on what is actually taking place, because construction jobs are UP, not down.
You are so gung hoe to high 5 Obama for actions that he's not taking, that you dont even have your facts straight.
I was thinking this morning that many stupid people would think Obama is doing soooo great that unemployment is going down .
News flash ...
316 thousand people not still don't have a job , NOW they have used up all 99 weeks of unemployment and have no money coming in at all .
Yipeeee Obama is so great Yipeeeeeeeeeeee .
Stupid is as stupid does. They will never see the light and pander to their own interests (welfare checks), not the countries.
Over 300,000 people simply stopped looking. These numbers are pathetic.
and how many of those 300,000 are retirees ??? many who take unemployment the last 2 years before retirement .... Please people, stop this nonsense about people not looking for work. You sound pathetically ignorant.
