What does this have to do with Obama? SMH


The president has no influence over the economy.

Just more myths and half-truths that the realization is slowly coming over the GOP: That ObamaCare might actually work. No surprise they are becoming unhinged lately concerning it. Some might even say, irrationally desperate

My thoughts are that we've been going in this direction for 30 years. Only in the conservative bubble did this development suddenly occur overnight on Jan. 21, 2009.

Hope that helps!

If you look at the first link I posted, there's a graph there showing a steady downward trajectory for part time jobs for economic reasons (that would be the U6 data) post ObamaCare. OP is talking about a small blip upwards that happened at the end of the graph, but the overall picture is that it's heading down, not up as the OP claims

Nope, not done on purpose.
If you have been following the effects of globalism then this is right in line with what has been going on for over the past 20 years.

The internet only made it happen quicker.
Think how many jobs would have to come back to the US if there were no fast internet....

Oh, I know. But the cons responding on this thread will steadfastly ignore that, so I was just skipping ahead.

Here are the facts..

1) There are less jobs now then before

2) There is a decline in part-time jobs due to #1

3) Most of the new jobs are part-time jobs

4) Liberals try to distort it by looking at history of part-time jobs and not look at less jobs available AND most new jobs are part-time jobs..

Conclusion: Liberals are idiot liars who try to deceive you...

Remedy: Don't be a lying liberal...

Yes, funny how that works. Bush destroyed the economy. It was his fault. But when the economy recovers slower than paint dries under Obama, then it's nothing to do with him. Obama doesn't have enough control.
