Thanks for pointing out the hypocracy of Democrats.. Of course you cant connect the dots, so let me help..
Pelosi was complaining because we had 5.5-6.0% unemployment under Republicans.. But since she has taken over Congress, where have those numbers gone..
I sure am..
Maybe if Congress was worried about keeping unemployment numbers to where they were, rather than creating new bills which increased unemployment, maybe the recession wouldnt have taken place.. Who can judge the effects of nearly DOUBLING the unemployment numbers from the period of time when Republicans held Congress to the time Democrats took over..
I guess they do not understand legislation starts in congress?
Very Confusing. People think the President creates jobs with a magic wand! Even this President himself believes that.
I never said it didnt. Now back to the thread Difference in you and I is I blame both parties you want to blame only one. Maybe one day I can say about time for you putting the blame where it really belongs on both sides
Why do you think Pelosi isnt making comments like this about Obama? Why isnt she asking Obama where the jobs are? I mean she does care about the middle class and not the elite. What so only cares when a republican is president she doesnt care now? Whats the deal I havent heard her asking Obama where the jobs are
Maybe she has asked him, but doesn't have to do it in the media, since he will give her the time of day.
Do you want to tell me who ran Congress when numbers hit 8-9%?
Several years later, I suppose you mean. Do you want to show me the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 or 2008 Republican congressperson's equivalent of Pelosi's statement to Bush?

We arent discussing statements made by Republicans.. We are discussing statements by Pelosi.. Cant discuss them without changing the topic?

According to the argument being made here, Delusianne is claiming that there is a 78 month lagging indicator for jobs..
Thats the period of time between Pelosi making those statements, and now.. And all we keep hearing is.. "lagging indicator", but lagging indicators do not explain unemployment numbers doubling.. they explain the lagging period of time for a recovery..

No the reason she isnt asking him in public is because hes a democrat
She asked in public when Bush was president to point it out and make it appear she is actually concerned about the middle class

I guess Congress didnt, back in 2003.
