And Obama's work visa program for illegals is now up to estimates of 2 million to be added to the lines of people looking for work.

Anyone who thinks Obama gives a damn about unemployed Americans is a complete idiot.

Nevada has been #1 in unemployment during most or all of the Obama Presidency. We went up to 12.0% this month. Yet Obama will win this state once again. That's why the people in this state fully deserve their financial misery and suffering.

The legacy of Republican economic policies is alive and well.

110th congress (2007-2009) Senate - tied House - Democratic majority
111th congress (2009-2011) Senate - Democratic majority House - Democratic majority
112th congress (2011-2013) Senate - Democratic majority House - Republican majority
President 2008-current - Democrat

Since 2008 Democrats have held the majority, if not all the power. From 2009 until 2011 every single decision and policy was theirs to make or reject. They owned control of this country. At what point do democrats take ownership of their legacy?

Yeah, the mystery of Hairy Reid getting reelected put Nevada in the Insane category. They get no sympathy from me.

They won't. They don't get it. 2+2 is too difficult for them.

NAFTA was negotioated by Bush Senior and the idea was proposed during Reagan. Free trade has long been advocated by Republicans.

Yeah, yeah. it's always someone elses fault according to you Republicans. Democratic presidents have created twice as many jobs as Republicans. Job Creation grounded to a halt after the Bush tax cuts and Bush left office being the first president since Herbert Hoover with not a single private sector job created. We are now still trying to clean up his mess and the Republicans have blocked every jobs bill that that has been introduced even though Boehner said that would be his top priority.

What you are doing is using simplistic thinking here. You say " gee, the democrats had a majority in the Senate, thats why the economy tanked" But if you would actually pick up a book, you will see that the US economy has been a downward trend since Reagan and income has actually GONE DOWN since Reagan.

you are so wrapped up in your own partisanship that you dont want to use critical thinking here. It's easier to just blame Democrats and Liberals and whoever else Fox News tells you to.
