Obama sold us his stimulus boondogle with this projection of unemployment. Too bad so many lemmings believed him.

Who predicted it right? And who predicted that this country will lose an unprecedented 6.5 million private sector jobs in only one year (FY2009). Clearly, you have absolutely NO idea of the scale of the debacle he inherited. Either that, or a serious memory problem. But then, political hacks do so naturally to promote denial.

If you want to whine about something, find something that is honest and not pure political bickering.

The fact that we are basically holding steady now is maybe a miracle in and of it self given the circumstances in 2008 and early 2009. One can only speculate what it would be like now if McCain had won the election but right wingers are certainly of the opinion that it would be a lot better than it is now.

Never mind that it could be a lot worse than it is right now.

Really? Prove where he said that. Seriously, man up and show where Obama said that. You don't even provide a source for the graph to which you linked.

Total fail on your little thread.

Pretty much what I was hearing from right wingers in Sept 2008 too. They are about as clueless about realities as they get. Except for their leaders... in that case, they know exactly what they are doing.

The "inheritance" argument is inherently flawed. The last President who didn't blame the previous administration was George Washington.

What has Obama SIGNIFICANTLY done to "clean up the mess". Why do you believe in him more than any other President? I've only seen you compare him to Bush and done so with some really, REALLY trivial statistics. The national unemployment rate is 8.5% and that's horrible.

The OP didnt say that the chart came from Obama, he said that the chart was used to sell the stimulus bill.

This from the poster who tried to say Obama only increased spending by 1.4%, and then tried to say he cut spending by 3.3%, haha.. ooh the humor.
