Republicans said Obamacare will be "Armageddon" and that jobs are going to flee the country. Obviously we should be back in recession very shortly right? Jobs should be absolutely fleeing the country.

Republicans said we'd be reading the Koran, getting attacked, in bread lines and all sorts of moonbattery if Obama was elected. I'm sure they'll continue to predict more things that wont happen. They seem to relish being dead wrong.

Obama's going to extend the Bush tax cuts--jobs & healthcare for EVERYONE. [semi-sarcasm]

Obama was doing well until he granted amnesty to all illegals under 30. I immediately turned Republican at that moment.

What! You mean that companies would relocate in countries that guarantee HC coverage?

The reason the economy has been so bad these last couple of years is because employers were afraid to invest because of Obama. Now, they won't make any moves until they see who gets elected.

If Obama stays the economy goes to rock bottom and will likely never recover. America will be just another stupid, defenseless country. If Romney wins, the economy will pick up immediately but will take quite awhile to get to what it was before Obama. Republicans are always good for business and the stock market.

Of course the liberal talking points never take truth and reality into consideration. Their spin is fascinating

Your complete lack of comprehension is astonishing.

Care to list the countries companies would likely relocate to that don't provide HC coverage?
Somalia? Afghanistan?

If they weren't hiring before, now for sure they wont but hey, the government will have a bazillion jobs. The whole purpose of Obamacare and increasing the food stamp people is to grow the Democrat base. So now they'll go for government hiring to administer and enforce these programs and as the Democrats know, federal workers vote their paycheck increases.

So, let us put these strawmen arguments to rest.

I guess that explains why Rick Perry was overly excited and visited this company that hired hundreds of Texans following the Health Care Reform in 2010. Must have been hundreds of those bazillions government jobs that y'all keep talking about?

Locally unemployment has crept up just a little bit and then stabilized. At least part time summer jobs have kept it from going higher even if the unemployment rate has remained the same. Foreclosures keep increasing, though.
Maybe treading water is the best we can hope for.
