Even obama's top economic guy is crediting the tax rate extensions....and the GOP gets credit for that, for hanging tough against the dems/obama who wanted to raise the rates.



Again, for all those lefties asking a while ago, "where are the jobs", well, here they are.
Owww....that is going to sting.

Considering the fact that Obama came in at the peak of the recession and put in place policies that expanded growth, no.

8% is the magic number. Get unemployment down to 8% and that will be a selling point to re-election.

Doesn't really matter. Most people in America take the MSM talking points as facts. They believe what they are told.

Unless he magically somehow created the recession that started back in Dec. 2007, then you have to judge him by the numbers and reality.

Obama came into office when we were losing 700,000 jobs per month. This past month economy gain 192,000 jobs. His policies have led to growth and job creation. Those are what the numbers show.

This good jobs report comes at a time when unfortunately many public sector jobs were eliminated. Which is ironic considering Republicans claim Obama is a socialist at a time when the public sector is shedding jobs and the private sector is picking up hiring.

Public sector jobs were flat in the March BLS report..no hiring, no firing.
The teacher layoffs won't take effect until next school semester..Aug/Sept 2011.

Wait now....are you saying Obama IS responsible for the increase in jobs?

So when the number of unemployed increases he would also be responsible right???

Or does it not work that way for you?
