The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

[DiamondDave]

President Obama has cut his unemployment rate by 2% while Bush doubled his

Obama has had a net employment increase of 1 million jobs a month since he became president

That only takes into account the single montly high, and the single monthly low. This is about the AVERAGE PER MONTH. Essentially, on average, what were the Bush years like, what were the Obama years like. You need to look at all the months they were in office in order to see that. The momentary one month high and one month low are just two months out of the 96 months Bush was in office and the 59 months that Obama has been in office.

Also, the economy has to create 200,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. So a net increase of 1 million jobs is nothing to sing about.

What does average have to do with anything?

Bush was given a thriving economy and 4% unemployment....he left a near depression and over 8% unemployment

Losing 770000 jobs a month is not something to brag about

Actually.. the economy was not thriving... the false boom/bubble was bursting

Yet Bush II took responsibility.. Not that I praise him for a whole lot else, but it was not a BUT CLINTON excuse every time he turned around...

Who cares? Presidents don't decide who works or who doesn't.

I'm just curious. Why would you average in the first month or 3 months or 6 months of a president's term implying that he had anything to do with that unemployment rate?

I'm curious... with statements like these do you think they helped or hurt unemployment???

1)Obama wants higher gas prices... "I'd like higher gas prices, just not so quickly" LiveLeak.com - Obama: Id like higher gas prices, just not so quickly
2)"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." Obama: I?ll make energy prices ?skyrocket? « Hot Air
3)"I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program" Barack Obama on single payer in 2003 | Physicians for a National Health Program

So IF a president WANTS higher gas prices, doesn't that mean the cost of living goes up? And if it goes up consumers buy less. Meaning businesses have to let people go!
If a president says electricity rates would skyrocket... doesn't that mean cost of living goes up and consumers have less to buy and businesses have less business..letting people go???
If a president WANTS a single payer what happens the 1,300 other payers that pay taxes and employ 400,000 people if they go out of business they will let people go?

These are just 3 statements made by Obama who obviously doesn't see the connections between businesses that are successful HIRE instead of FIRE people!

But you don't really care do you? It is so blatantly obvious that your boy was so out of his element administering the worlds largest economy having NO business experiences as
Obama worked almost only for non-profits that paid his salaries out of philanthropy that was generating by EVIL capitalists' profits (See W. Annenberg!)
Annenberg Foundation that paid him in Chicago. Annenberg (March 13, 1908 – October 1, 2002) was an American publisher, philanthropist, and diplomat most of his wealth coming from TV Guide!

Cant spin failure, Nutsucker.

Stopping the Bush Depression is not failure

I heard the stimulus prevented a nuclear holocaust. Right?
Yeah the truth is Obama's economic policy has been a total failure. had he played golf for 5 years and never entered the Oval Office the economy would be growing at over3.5% with UE undr 6.

Because the average accounts for EVERY MONTH THE PRESIDENT was in office, in this case 96 months! Your figure only looks at TWO MONTHS. Mine looks at all 96 months.

Is it more accurate to rate a President on two months of work rather than 96? I think not.

Yes, the unemployment rate was low when Bush entered office. But it went up, there was a recession. The unemployment rate went all the way to 6.3% in 2003. Bush brought it back down to 4.4% by 2006. It was still at 4.9% in February 2008, only a few months before Bush left office.

But you see, you miss all that when you only look at the first month and the last month of a Presidency. Guess what, there are 94 other months that have to be looked in order to accurately rate the President.

Students grades are not based on the first week of the semester and the last week of the semester. Employees job performance is not based on the first week of work and the last week of work. Everything in between counts!

so now its changed, the exec. has zip to do with employment...got it.


you get the silver.....

So you credit Bill Clinton with the 4% UE he left for GW Bush?

Yes, and the dot.com crash, Y2K wind down, a recession and the makings for 9/11

Actually FDR was responsible for unemployment after 1929.
What regulations were removed from banking under Bush? Yeah the argument always falls apart at that point.

Hey MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

The Crash in 2008 was the result of deregulation that started long before Bush came into office, but at the same time was not reigned in while Bush was in office.

It was President Bill Clinton, who signed the Glass Steagal act which was the single largest deregulatory event that could be claimed to have impacted the 2008 crash.

Assigning responsibility for the economic stats during any administration is a debatable and complex task. What is NOT debatable though is that these were the conditions that the average man on the street had to deal with while a certain President was in the White House!

And GW explicitly encouraged the Housing Bubble, ignored the Southern Border and eliminated the requirement to seek a US citizen for employment.
And GW STILL thinks the Housing Bubble IS A SUCCESS.

When the economy is growing, foreign workers and emigration to the United States is good for the United States. Its why the United States will never have the same degree of demographic and economic problems of OLD EUROPE! Its also why the United States will be able to compete with countries like India and China in the future.

Did GW formally help pass any laws, legislation that created the Housing Bubble? If yes, please post the name and date of signing!

When the RATIONALE proposed before Congress is that Americans have NO SKILLS, your explanation doesn't hold water.

[rdean]

Which president was GIVEN the worst unemployment rate since WWII?

By the last day of Bush's last budget, unemployment was over 10%.

And it wasn't just jobs. Republicans fucked up the economy, the country, foreign policy, two other countries, the world economy, the justice department. And you saw the highest jump in health care costs ever and the most bankruptcies. Bush was like Midas. Only everything Bush touched turned to shit.

Then you have the Republicans, even before Obama was sworn in, trying to destroy his presidency, BY ANY MEANS.

 

[dblack]

Really? The President is responsible for keeping us employed? Never saw that in the Constitution.

A president by himself is pretty much restrained by the checks and balances of the Constitution. No president can solve all the problems by HIMSELF. Bear in mind that President Obama has had to work with the worst Congress in the history of the United States. Thanks to the party of "NO," the Congress can take equal responsibility for the poor jobs number. Remember this: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." But, hay, don't let the truth get in the way of your bitching and bullshit.

By the last day of Bush's last budget, unemployment was over 10%.

Bush's last budget was no longer in force the day they passed the "stimulus," so that's a non sequitur.

And it wasn't just jobs. Republicans fucked up the economy, the country, foreign policy, two other countries, the world economy, the justice department. And you saw the highest jump in health care costs ever and the most bankruptcies. Bush was like Midas. Only everything Bush touched turned to shit.

Everything you spout is horseshit. How much have healthcare costs increased just this year, 50%, 90%?

Then you have the Republicans, even before Obama was sworn in, trying to destroy his presidency, BY ANY MEANS.

That's standard operating procedure for liberals. Pay-back is a bitch, ain't it?

The economy is not a game, nimrod. If you have 4% unemployment the last month, and 15% unemployment every other month, you haven't won the "game." That means you had long 8 years of untold misery and suffering.
