The latest misery index under the Obama administration is 10.5, according to NPA Services Inc.
Obama is doing so well he is 11th worst , 14th worst and 23rd worst in the president's Misery index...
Oh by the way where is George Bush??? First appears 2008, 27th.. 9.65

Also Obama has the dubious distinction also of being the ONLY President in history whose administration has purposely created unemployment!
See below why 41% businesses not hiring!!!

  • 1 1980 20.76 Carter D
  • 2 1981 17.97 Reagan R
  • 3 1975 17.68 Ford R
  • 4 1979 17.07 Ford R
  • 5 1974 16.67 Nixon R
  • 6 1982 15.87 Reagan R
  • 7 1978 13.69 Carter D
  • 8 1977 13.55 Carter D
  • 9 1976 13.45 Carter D
  • 10 1983 12.82 Reagan R
  • 11 2011 12.11 Obama D
  • 12 1984 11.81 Reagan R
  • 13 1948 11.49 Truman D
  • 14 2010 11.27 Obama D
  • 15 1951 11.16 Eisenhower R

The highest one-year misery index under President Barack Obama was 12.11,
and Obama's average has been 10.78.

The highest under Bush was 9.65 in 2008
and his average was 8.11.

The misery index under President Jimmy Carter
averaged 16.26, with a high of 20.76 in 1980.

Then President Ronald Reagan took over the index was 17.97, his highest.
If any president had an excuse to blame the previous administration, Reagan did.
Instead the misery index declined by 9.61 points to 9.57 end of 1988.

So why is unemployment so bad????


41% of Small Businesses Froze Hiring Over ObamaCare
We were startled because we know that employers were concerned about the Affordable Care Act and the effects it would have on their business, but we didn’t realize the extent they were concerned, or that the businesses were being proactive to make sure the effects of the ACA actually were minimized,” said attorney Steven Friedman of Littler Mendelson. His firm, which specializes in employment law, commissioned the Gallup poll.

“If the small businesses’ fears are reasonable, then it could mean that the small business sector grows slower than what economic conditions otherwise would indicate. And small businesses have been a growth engine in the economy,” Friedman told CNBC.

Forty-one percent of the businesses surveyed have frozen hiring because of the health-care law known as Obamacare. And almost one-fifth—19 percent— answered “yes” when asked if they had “reduced the number of employees you have in your business as a specific result of the Affordable Care Act.”

So it's been coming down since he got in, in the middle of the SECOND Pub Great Meltdown, despite never ending, mindless Pub obstruction and fear mongering? That's what I thought...

I'm sorry you are so f...ing wrong about BUSH!!!
HOW stupid are you to totally drink the MSM koolaid without even recognizing THESE EVENTS occurred NONE of which were caused by Bush!
THESE EVENTS have NEVER happened in ONE Presidency! NEVER!
AND you have the stupidity to repeat that old worn out cliche about George W. Bush who will be recognized by historians as one of the GREAT
Presidents who had THESE EVENTS occur!
Dumb sh...t YOU can't even read all this but
REFUTE THESE FACTS OR APOLOGIZE AS BEING a dumb f...k!

DID THIS HAPPEN??
1) Dot.com bust cost $5 trillion in lost market value.. this means every year for 30 years now starting in 2000 the federal revenue is over $20 billion written off against taxes owed.
How many people LOST jobs due to the bust??
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 -
and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

DID THIS HAPPEN??
2) Did YOU forget that 9/11 occurred and it cost $2 trillion over the next 30 years again $8 billion will NOT BE PAiD.. was that Bush's fault?
Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York!!
Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone.
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

DID THIS HAPPEN??
3) $1 trillion in written off losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history!
The worst Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. Andrew slammed into South Florida in 1992 as a Category 5. It caused 40 deaths and $30 billion in property damage. More than 250,000 people were left homeless and 82,000 businesses were destroyed or damaged.
Hurricane Katrina ALONE! Year 2005: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
On August 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. as a strong Category 3 or low Category 4 storm. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Hurricane Rita quickly followed Katrina only to make matters worse. Between the two, more than $200 billion in damage was done. 400,000 jobs were lost and 275,000 homes were destroyed. Many of the jobs and homes were never to be recovered. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and over 1,000 were killed and more are missing. The effect on oil and gasoline prices was long-lasting.

400,000 jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita
145,000 jobs in NYC alone due to 9/11
300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts.

Almost 1 million jobs alone from those 3 events

All of this while having almost $60 billion a year in tax revenue due to the above losses !

Healthmyths, the Bush apologist/revisionist historian strikes out yet again. Dang!
 
So it's been coming down since he got in, in the middle of the SECOND Pub Great Meltdown, despite never ending, mindless Pub obstruction and fear mongering? That's what I thought...

The "misery index" was a transparent PR trick from the get-go. But make one slight adjustment and it works pretty well (also makes R pres look worse). Just subtract 4% from the unemployment figure and 3% for inflation ("normalizing" both to a target instead of to zero). Treat all resulting negative numbers as zero. I used to have this all on Excell but I will have to recreate it.

BUT YOU HAVE NOT refuted ANY OF THE FACTS Dummy!!!
HOW in the hell would you REVISE the dot.com BUST?? IT HAPPENED Started under Clinton! That fairy dust Surplus poof! As all those phantom profits that supposedly paid TAXES under Clinton GONE!!!!

Then how in the hell do you EXPLAIN to 3,000 people, in NYC and the Pentagon NOTHING happened on 9/11/01???
Trillions in lost businesses revenues assets, GONE! JOBS GONE!
THAT all never happened???

SO again please explain I was totally wrong about the Worst hurricane SEASONS not one hurricane but SEASONS of hurricanes???
Trillions in lost revenues, destroyed businesses, 1,000s of deaths... not in one but SEVERAL hurricanes over several years!

AND YOU THINK I made that up???

PLEASE explain how the GDP grew 16% from 2001 to 2008?
Explain the fact that Federal Revenues were the highest in history... especially after the TAX CUTS that triggered business growth?

BUT DORKS like you don't read... anything that takes more then 30 seconds cause your attention span is shorter then a chimp looking for a banana! Dorks like you got us the BIGGEST dork Obama who thrills at putting EVIL businesses and profit making companies out of business!

AND YOU as stupid as Obama think that is smart!
TELL ME dork... WHERE does nearly 90% of FEDERAL REvenue come from dumb sh...T?
NOT from people working for the Federal government, or from NON-PROFITS!!
But of course idiots like you NEVER NEVER look beyond your growing Pinocchio nose!
 
Hey dumb shit healthmyths, the American people passed judgement on the silly shit you post on 6Nov12. And President Obama was re-elected. Now you and the others like you, just keep pushing this dumb flap-yap, and it will be a Dem President for sure in 2016.
 
Healthmyths, the Bush apologist/revisionist historian strikes out yet again. Dang!

Yes. People are HONORED to be miserable under President Obama! They'd be APPALLED at the idea of him taking time out of his busy schedule of...of...whatever he does to condescend to help the little people!

Yeah, that's the kind of dishonest shit the AGW cult does to data, too.
 
Market bouncing around an alltime high. Jobs slowly coming back. Home values rising again. Construction picking up again.

And all the end of the world economically predictions made on this board by the "Conservatives" shown to be utter bullshit.

Now you really think this kind of mewling and puking is impressing anyone?

Yeah sure, dumb ass. And all the Scientific Societies, all the National Academies of Science, and all the major Universities are dishonest. Because they show data and evidence that an ananomous poster on the internet does not like.
 
The little tinfoil hat brigade still cannot accept the fact that the American People do not accept their dingbat alternative reality. So off they go into total wingnut conspiracy theories.
