I never said it didnt. Now back to the thread Difference in you and I is I blame both parties you want to blame only one. Maybe one day I can say about time for you putting the blame where it really belongs on both sides

Why do you think Pelosi isnt making comments like this about Obama? Why isnt she asking Obama where the jobs are? I mean she does care about the middle class and not the elite. What so only cares when a republican is president she doesnt care now? Whats the deal I havent heard her asking Obama where the jobs are

3 more years of non stop spending ?
I've have not seen a conservative or republican turn down their chance of getting a little pork for their state. Even the states that said they wouldn't, did, once the cameras were turned off.

I don't see the Dems walking in lock-step like the Repubs on every issue. Nothing wrong with each representing his district/state and not a national political party.

(And I am not a fan of ANY political party)

Tell us can you post the unemployement numbers for 2003
2004
2005
2006
2007
2008
2009
then lets compare those numbers to the numbers of when Pelosi did get that fancy job she has now so we the taxpayers can pay for her family to fly around the world. But she cares about the working class people just not enough to make her own family pay for their own flights

So as long as both sides do it then it's ok?

Well in our current times, I say it's not OK, not for any of them.

Do your own homework, remembering always that unemployment is a lagging indicator.

you still havent told me what economic theory states that unemployment numbers from 2010 are a lagging indicator of economics from 2003..

must be a coincidence unemployment started going up the minute Democrats took over Congress. Imagine the timing of that lagging indicator..
