Of course that was just a chart which was made prior to the Bush administration's job implosion when 2.2 million jobs were lost in his last three months.

The chart the GOP loves to refer to with the 8% was made off the estimates known at the time. Things wound up being much worse than anyone, right, left or center expected. This chart was made prior to the stats of the last few months of the Bush administration were known (last few job reports, 4th quarter earnings, 4th quarter GDP reports, etc), once that information came out, the 8% figure was gone and not talked about because it was realized things were going to get far worse. Hell unemployment was already above that when the Stimulus was passed because of how extreme the downturn got during Bush's last few months in office.

Almost 3 million jobs have been lost since the Failed Stimulus was enacted.

This chart was made prior
Nonsense. Obama's "uniquely qualified" team knew full well the numbers.

In order to sell his stimulus, obama went around saying we were headed for the next great depression.

Can't get any more dire than that.

This is just unreal.

This is beyond overreaching. This is a concerted effort to destroy the oil industry in this country.
Its all a part of 0bama's plan to expand the economy, by causing one economic contraction after another.

Speaking of which, how about that 0bama recovery, eh?? Look at all the jobs and growth, and at the low, low cost of $3 trillion.

Will would you? And if not you, would someone else?

Regarding whales and sharks, if that was your point, it was not clear. Anyway, whales and sharks are part of the elaborate food chain of the ocean which we are a part of. Certainly you would agree that a healthy ocean is a healthy food chain.

And you're welcome.
