Did what? Give us the worst recovery from a recession in modern political history because their progressive agenda was so anti-job? There are millions of Americans who have been out of work for so long under this President that they've simply given up looking. That isn't the GOP's fault. They weren't the ones who passed ObamaCare or a stimulus that didn't stimulate the Private Sector. They aren't the ones who threatened Cap & Trade legislation, Card Check legislation and let the EPA propose new standards on "green house gas emissions". That would be Barry, Harry and Nancy that gave us all THOSE job killers, Shintao.
The biggest difference in this recovery and past ones is that we have seen a massive DECREASE in government jobs.
That is what you conservatives wanted; that is what you got. Now we are living the effects of that.
As some of us told you years ago, whatever good comes from smaller government...
...job creation isn't part of it.
The only decrease in government jobs that we have seen since 2009 have taken place at the State and local level, Carbineer...the number of Federal Government employees has always been higher under Obama than under George W. Bush.
State and local governments have lost jobs because unlike the Feds...they can't simply print money to pay for their employees. Once the Obama stimulus propping up local government jobs went away so did the jobs because the private sector was getting crushed and not producing the revenues at the State and local levels to support State and local government. It's what happens when your "stimulus" primarily helps keep government workers employed and does little to help private sector workers...which is EXACTLY what the Obama stimulus did. The following article from the NY Times sums it up rather nicely.

overall government employment is at a historic low. Nyc was talking about how overall government employment has effected the unemployment levels. Unemployment could be a full percentage lower if local governments were at the same levels they were in 2008.
Federal employment has increased about 6% under president obama...now, would you like to take a guess in what areas the increases occurred?

government jobs don't grow the economy idiot!!!!!!!!!!!! Government job growth grows government debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Government job growth increases beuracratic bullshit paperwork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to keep reducing governement jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At all levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Republicans won many elections, enough to control the House of Representatives, in fact.
If Obama wants carte blanche, the Democrats need to take the House of Representatives.
I do wish he'd stop whining.
You and others on the right need to stop believing in the 2010 midterm myth youve contrived and start living in the present.
In 2010 you failed to win the Senate and failed to prevail in the governors races in California and New York, two large, representative states.
In 2012 you again failed to win the Senate, failed to win the WH, and lost seats in both Houses of Congress; had it not been for gerrymandered districts in red states you would have lost the House as well.
Now November 2014 is just over a year away and GOP approval ratings are in the toilet, youve seriously damaged the Party with the republican government shutdown, and GOP moderates are at war with TPM extremists.
Again, stop living in the past and start dealing with the dire problem facing your party.

Go and look at those unemployment numbers from 2008 to 2010 and tell me again how "successful" Barack Obama's stimulus was.
I see unemployment numbers that have dropped from 10.2 to 7.3 percent
What do you see?
Not too bad for a community organizer

And if we'd lost federal jobs comparable to state and local the jobless recovery would be even more jobless.

Republicans want to repeal Obamacare....EARN IT
Win the House, Senate and Whitehouse and you too get to call the shots
But holding our government and our economy hostage is not earning it
Because I find your easily induced episodes of bewilderment extremely entertaining.
then tell me what does your comment have to do with what I said?
still waiting.

Defense spending is one of the major cornerstones of our economy.
Thanks Government

wining it all and having it all is why we are here in that obama reid and pelosi decided that half the country didn't count...
when you ram the an all en compassing huge legislative act in 50 years through on a party line vote, well, you reap what you sow.
You then suffer a massive defeat for the ages in one house and only by ineptitude of the challenging party keep the other, expecting the 'winning' party to lay down is ridiculous.
The electorate shifted, and in 2012 it did not shift back, obama may have won again, but alas, hes is not a King........and we are not a kingdom.

Republicans.......if you want to call the shots. Win some elections. That is what he Democrats did
There is another way to get what you want in Washington......be willing to compromise what the other guy wants
But Republicans can no longer play at card. Rightwing media won't let them
If you want change, win an election
Oh, that's what Democrats believe now?
I'm relieved to know that, next time the Republicans win the House, Senate, and Presidency (as they did in 2000), the Democrats will sit back and say, "There, now that's what we meant. Now that you've won, we won't complain or let out a peep. You can go ahead and repeal Obamacare, roll back the regulatory burdens of OSHA, the EPA, and the IRS, cut back on the entitlements that had driven debts through the roof, etc. etc. We'll be just fine with that, because you finally won an election as we said you should do."
Yep, I'm sure the Democrats will keep their word. They do believe, after all, that 51% of the vote makes whatever you want to do, right.
They've been telling us that since 2008, after all. Would they lie?
How many times did the Democrats shut down Government?
The government shut down seven times when O'Neill was speaker and Reagan was president. And they were real shutdowns, too, given that they occurred after Jimmy Carter's attorney general, Benjamin Civiletti, issued opinions in 1980 and 1981 saying that funding gaps had to lead to at least partial shutdowns of government functions. Five quasi-shutdowns happened before those opinions under O'Neill's watch, with Carter as president. And one more shutdown happened under Reagan and O'Neill's successor as speaker, Jim Wright.
Which compromises were the President offered?
I have yet to see anything coming out of the Republicans. Demands are not compromises
You throw the word around a lot, but I don't think you know what it means
Doesn't matter what you think any one else knows or doesn't. WE all know obama doesn't know what the word compromise means!!
He compromised on extending the Bush tax cuts
Your turn
