You never give up do you?
How does it feel to be one of a handful of remaining supporters of the worst American President in history.
Lonely? Frustrated?
It will be over soon.
Did Obama personally hire 211,000 people? Did he mysteriously pass some legislation that is business friendly that encourages businesses to hire more people? I am confused. He seems to brag overtime he uses an executive order.
FACT: number of americans turning 65 (average age most people retire) daily.....6,000-8,000
number of americans turning 18 (the average age for people ENTERING the workforce(BLS uses 16)) daily...... 13,000
Many of those turning 18 are attending college, not going directly into the workforce.

I'm pretty sure the OP is really Nancy Pelosi. If not, some other SF Bayer who is equally clueless...

Republicans control the House and the Senate...Obama just signed what they passed. The devastation when he was elected was caused by a Democrat House and Senate that Bush unfortunately signed their bills.
Ok, let us explore you thesis, such as it is. The first point of yours is that Obama just signs what the Republicans pass in the House and Senate and therefore the improved economy is really, really because of the Republicans. What that ignores is two facts 1) the improved economy started while the House and Senate were controlled by Democrats. Namely, the various economic recovery acts in conjunction with expansionary monetary policy by the Fed is responsible for the recovery. 2) Since the Republicans took the House and Senate they haven't passed anything that could be construed to have any positive effect on the economy. Their actions have mainly been contractionary.
Your second point was the economic downturn was caused by Democrats when the re-gained power in January 2007. To accept this line of reasoning (which gives a bad name to reasoning) one has to identify specific bills that the Democrats passed during this time that caused said downturn. Of course, there are none and the idea that the mere fact that Democrats controlled the House and Senate caused the economy to collapse is pure nonsense.
Not to spoil the fun, but while y'all go back-and-forth about what is good or bad and whom to blame, the powers that be are getting a hearty laugh!
There is not one candidate for POTUS, maybe not even one American who can't agree we can and should do better with our economy, our country, our elected officials, our future. One of the reasons we don't do better is because all too many understand all too little about who is doing what when it comes to those with power and influence. The POTUS, today Obama, is a significant player, no doubt, but also a lightening rod that draws attention from those truly to blame for our lack of progress.
Not Obama --- credit to the new Republican majority in congress, and the Republican majorities in state government.
They are finally able to get things done despite this administration. And businesses aren't so afraid anymore of what O will do next.
Thank you American voters, now keep it up in 2016 !
Lol how convenient.... Did republican legislators achieve this by merely showing up?
