Great. Obama showing his socialist programs work. What happens when the money runs out? Raise taxes yet again, to pay for even more socialism? And WHAT do we have to show for these supposed jobs? Our roads are better? Were safer? New businesses? The life of Riley for all? A total joke.

The title of the article is "More Private Sector Jobs Created in 2010 Than During Entire Bush Years"

How about those charts? So disappointing.

Those were sad times indeed. I ate one and a half of my arms during those depressing times. So hard to type...

Which is still a lie no matter how you word it. Bush had numerous years where he created twice the number of jobs created in 2010.

Which isn't true either. 50% at best by voodoo economic standards.

I dont understand what you're saying. The BLS charts are lying?
Companies have been hiring at the same rate in 2009-10 as they were during the Bush years?
Not sure what you mean.

Its not really that difficult.. If you are going to write a story about the TOTAL jobs created, then job losses dont enter the equation. That is what they are doing for Obama.. Ignoring ALL of the job losses which took place in 2009, but counting them under Bush.. Not fair for several reasons, the most obvious being that you cant count only positives for one and count positives and negatives for another, and claim they are equal. Thats elementary school math..

The second being that presidents dont create jobs.. Congress does..

If companies were hiring at the same right now as they were during the Bush/Republican Congress years, we'd see unemployment in the low 5's like we did then.. But we dont..

"Private sector jobs have created 863,000 this year"


or 599,000.... whichever... If a lie is the basis of the argument the whole rest of the argument falls flat on its face.

I have no idea how these people cannot see this. Perhaps they got Kool Aid in their eyes.
