Marching against a war that should have never happened is not the same as marching against policies.
Oh, so when it is a policy that Bush supported and liberals wanted him to fail it is o.k. because he is a Republican and his policies are bad but when conservatives march against Barack Obama that is a whole different story how exactly?

Typical progressive hypocrisy.
Quit whining and twisting the fact. Conservatives want the econmoy to fail because in their minds if it does then that means Obama fails. Liberals and some conservatives wanted the failed war in iraq to end because we should never have invaded that sovereing country in the first place. Very big difference and most intelligent people can see that.
Now, Obama's July, 2012 report shows 142,220,000. a gain of 121,000 in 40 months..3,000 per month (60 per state, woo hoo, 1/7 a Super Wal Mart's avg headcount-celebration, huh!!) . So that is ultra close to NO NET JOB GROWTH.
Sigh, time for a dose of reality my friend.

George Bush...worse than Jimmy Carter. Hell, Carter created more jobs per year than Ronnie Raygun

Again it is all about "we stopped Bush because our policies are correct because we are progressives and we are always right but you conservatives must bend over for the president because your policies are incorrect and you trying to stop him is wrong and hurting our country and likely racist".

Interesting.... I have never felt more troubled for my country or more pinched economically than during the Carter administration. It was a depressing time and even worse than right now. Most people I know who lived through those years and tried to make a living agree with me. Mortgage rates were around 15% and there was no other type of credit for less the 21%. Maybe people were employed, although I sure knew a lot that weren't or were underemployed, but money was very tight and many businesses and farms went under.
Anytime a con talks about Reagan keep in mind that their adoration and hero worship of him is so great they actually think the Iranian hostages were released because the terrorists were afraid of him

Alot of the reason the economy was so crappy during Carter was because of decisions from previous administrations. Nixon's price controls, expansion of the Vietnam War had alot to do with it. I am by no means saying carter was a good president but there is alot of unfair blame on his part. Carter's downfall was his inability to deal with the countries problems. He just sat on his hands and acted like nothing was wrong.
My problem with Reagan is that he solved problems short term. He really didn't care about the long term future of the country as long as things were good and rosy looking now. Alot of his decision are to this day still affecting us for the worst. This is why, in my opinion, Clinton was a FAR better president because he left Bush with a plan to eliminate the deficit in a decade among other things. He planned for the future and was constantly creating policies to benefit us long term, where as Republicans seem only interested in short term gratification.

Get your facts from the official source like I did.the BLS A-1 report. That is the easy one that simply tabulates total US jobs, and the three numbers I quoted were directly from it, with copied hyperlinks, so anyone could access the source data.
