There are even threads on CD that show the number of jobs gained.
Jobs gained listed by this white house is a load of crap. Everybody knows when a plant closes in Iowa, eliminating 200 jobs, and reopens in Texas, the obamabots claim they've just created another 200 jobs. Nice try.

Stop waiting for someone else to give you a job and give yourself one. Nothing is stopping these folks from starting their own small businesses. Self employment doesn't have to require a lot of overhead...find a need in your community and fill it better than anyone else can.

I was responding, obviously, to your comment about Obama being responsible for the bailouts.
Deflection from your comment and my response humors me.

How about some links to your assumption here.

I haven't experienced this wealth of jobs you speak of in your land. Before you tell me how to tweak my resume and to get an education, don't waist your time because I am positive I've done all I can to get a job.

There simply aren't people even in fast food who are willing to give up their jobs for me or other people who are looking for work. There simply aren't enough positions available for the amount of unemployed people out there at the moment. Instead of putting people down why not help people and get them into your company to work buddy? Oh I forgot, why would you want them to because they could end up taking your job right?

Unless you have been unemployed for months then you should shut up about the "unemployment" experience because you haven't been through it in the economy that we are currently in.

Sorry son, I have been through it, on more than one occasion. Yes, the're are jobs out there. You may have to go back to school or get a new trade. Ever think of starting a business? I also did that, just to get me by in the rough times. All it took was a little moxi and a little know how. Started a lawn business on $200(used mower and used weedeater) and started out of my car(not a truck). Couldn't afford business cards, so I went knocking on doors. Was able to get roughly 22 accounts within the first two weeks which paid for my investment($200) and then some. This was while I still searched for that "job". Got into law enforcement and have been a happy camper ever since. I still do odd jobs here and there just to "help out" at home. These jobs include welding(learned in the Navy), yard service work, running a security guard company, and shopping for people who do not have the time to do it for themselves. No one is going to "take" my job as you say, because I have been able to expand my horizons and make myself into something other than a police officer. Seems like you need to expand your horizons and really focus on what can get you by in the mean time, until that "job" comes along that will make you happy. Don't get down on yourself. I know how things are out there and yes things suck big time, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Keep your chin up!

But that would be giving you something for nothing, a la welfare or affirmative action, right?

Looking at that billboard it is clear to see that these are a bunch of unprofessional, generation Y slackers who were used to having everything handed to them on a silver platter.

No wonder these losers can't find a damn job.... these are self important, whiners with a sense of entitlement. Probably Tea Party ilk .

Maybe if they put as much effort into a job search as they did into the stupid billboard, they would be working by now.
