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

The American people looked at his response to 9/11 and re-elected him as President of the United States with the first majority in the popular vote since 1988, 16 years!
Where did I say anything about his response? I was talking about his actions before the attack, not after. Cute how you switched that up.


Look there is nothing "cute" about 9/11. About hurricanes. About dot.com bust.
All of those above events WERE NOT foreseen nor preventable by Bush ...maybe the Messiah Obama but not by mortal beings.
MY point of reminding people is to understand WHERE the country was heading IF GWB hadn't been the President by say
our moribund, "blame America" President Obama!

The problem is the majority of people that have this anti-Bush attitude don't seem to realize the role the MSM played in building
this anti-Bush attitude.
All those events combined pale in comparison to the Great Recession Bush dumped on Obama.

YOU ARE diminishing 5,000 people's DEATHS!
YOU ARE DIMINISHING 2.5 million jobs directly related to 9/11!
YOU ARE DIMINISHING the affects of the hurricanes on people's lives!
My goodness YOU are so far up Obama's anus it really really is disgusting!
What is WORSE is Obama WANTS unemployment or WHY else would this ignorant President say and DO such destructive
acts to dismantle American businesses ON PURPOSE!!

Obama said"So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.”
He proudly proclaims he wants to put 1,400 companies out of business. He wants 450,000 people unemployed. He wants $100 billion in tax revenue to disappear. He said that when he said: "I prefer single payer health system." So what does he think will happen to those companies?
Obama wants foreign oil dependency!
1)told Brazil to develop oil and that the USA will be their best customer?
"backed by USA funds lending $2 billion to the Soros' 22% ownership of Brazil's Petrobras!
Petrobras wants to drill (32,810 feet) of ocean and sub-sea rock in Carioca, an offshore field with
33 billion barrels. "
- Bloomberg
2) Encourage foreign drilling OFF Florida by Cuba
3) Encourage Canada to sell almost 1 million barrels per day to China?
4) Obama signed almost 50% fewer oil finding leases on Federal lands.
This is the ONLY real executive action any President can have on INCREASING production which would INCREASE supplies and Obama ....
a) In 6 years new leases under Obama..........9,922 new leases..
b) In 8 years new leases under Bush...........23,569 new leases!

How Obama Is Keeping Small Businesses Down
Obama said he would help small businesses out, but it hasn't happened yet.

As for new regulations that are crushing small businesses, the evidence is everywhere. A recent survey of small banks conducted by the Mercatus Center at George Mason found that "many respondents expressed frustration at how the rules would affect their ability to continue offering customers products that had worked well for both the bank and the customers.” These small banks talk of the implementation of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law of 2010 as a “maddening pace of illogical and unnecessary regulation” that would not have prevented the 2008 financial collapse.
How Obama Is Keeping Small Businesses Down
Notice how you can't refute the reality that the Great Recession dwarfs all those events combined. :thup:

The Misery index was worse in the early 1980s than it ever was under Obama. Inflation and unemployment combined was a double wammy.
 
Too stupid. The Gorelick wall did not prevent Bush from taking action. Something. Anything. Maybe some action could have prevented 9.11.

Bill Clinton should have invaded Afghanistan in 1998 instead of just firing Cruise Missiles which only ended up redistributing some dirt in Afghanistan. Bill Clinton left the Taliban, Al Quada, and SADDAM for Bush to deal with.
Clinton kept us safe inside the U.S. when Clinton warned us terrorists would try to attack us here, the right castigated him as an opportunist who was lying about the threat to spend more money and to get the public to forget about his impeachment.

Only it turned out Clinton was right.

Clinton failed to properly deal with the Taliban, Al Qauda and SADDAM. Bush did far better on these threats than Clinton did.

Oh and the world trade center was bombed in February 1993 by foreign terrorist. Clinton did not prevent that and he failed to properly deal with the issue of terrorism during his entire 8 years in office. Bush's response to terrorism was vastly superior to Clintons!

If the February bombing in 1993 had succeeded in bringing down the trade towers, the loss of life would have greatly exceeded the loss of life on 9/11. Both towers would have been destroyed from the bottom up at a time when both buildings were filled with more people. Only the bombers incompetence on the size of the bomb used prevented that from happening.
According to rightie logic, an attack only 5 weeks into Clinton's presidency is the fault of GHW Bush. Not to mention, what warning did Clinton have?

Why should Clinton get a pass if Bush doesn't?
Because there is no comparison to 6 killed versus 3000, no comparison to 5 weeks versus 8 months, no comparison to a blown up garage versus the obliteration of the WTC, no comparison to no warnings versus warnings.

Next stupid question...?

The point is that it could have been 30,000 or 40,000 killed if the bomb had been larger as wells as better placed in the garage. Clinton got lucky, but now he knows better and must deal with this potential threat on this scale. He had 8 years. He did a lot of good.

High inflation, plus high unemployment is why the early 80s recession was worse than the 2008/2009. Its rare that you get high inflation and high unemployment together. Unemployment under Reagan peaked at 10.8% in November 1982. Inflation was starting to come down at that point but was still relatively high. That beats any period of unemployment + inflation under Obama.

Again, the Misery index is a poor indicator of the economy. Using it to claim Reagan's recession was worse than Bush's, while ignoring GDP, which actually is an excellent indicator of the economy, is ridiculous.

Even you know this which is why you wouldn't answer the question ... does a misery index of 3.9 indicate the economy is good or bad?
 
What you seem to be ignorant of is that within 2 years of Bush getting into office, there was a recession and a rise in unemployment to 6.3%. But that level was brought back down to 4.4%, a very low rate and stayed below 5% for a consistent solid two years. Clinton had nothing to do with any of that.
Actually it was within 2 MONTHS for the First Bush Recession. That recession was long over when UE hit 6.3% 2 years later. After a drop to 4.4% thanks to Bush's wars, he managed to jack that 4.4% up to 7.8% and skyrocketing when he left his economic mess to Obama to fix.

YOU got to be kidding!
TELL the 5,000 people that died!
MY god nothing, NOTHING has happened of that magnitude since Obama's been in office!
Trillions of dollars in lost assets, buildings, destroyed! Businesses destroyed!
And YOU equate a few people's jobs being lost?
By the way you are also ignoring totally the TARP program has MADE a profit for the government!
And THAT was a direct benefit of the phony "great recession"!
The aggressive policies of the Federal Reserve and other central banks - though not without criticism - are widely credited with preventing even greater damage to the global economy. For example, the Fed lowered a key interest rate to nearly zero in order to promote liquidity and – in an unprecedented move – provided banks with a staggering $7.7 trillion of emergency loans.

AND what else had happened during Bush's administration?
ANY of these events ring a bell???

And NO other President had these events occur during that period.
Events that really shook the USA and the world. Events NO other President has ever had to keep the country encouraged. Keep the country enthused about getting up and going to work! These were terrible events.

Events that cost nearly 5,000 lives. Events that costs millions of jobs! Trillions of dollars! Trillions in lost payroll and income taxes!
Think what it must have been like to been one of these people that suffered through 9/11.
a) 3,000 dead, thousands of lives changed forever.
b) No airline traffic for 3 days no flights;
c) No Wall street for 10 days
d) 18,000 businesses loss...businesses that had to either start over or gave up!
e) 2,500,000 job lost. Ongoing uncertainty about the war on terror has contributed to the loss of more than 2.5 million jobs in the 18 months following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, said John A. Challenger, CEO of Chicago-based Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Job losses since 9/11 attacks top 2.5 million

And what about these events... NONE have occurred with such magnitude in just 8 years!
$1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history.
Again idiots like you TOTALLY forget these were the worst hurricane SEASONS in history! The worst! No presidency every faced the following:
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.
It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Rank Disaster Year Deaths Damage* $250 Billion in damages in the 8 disasters of the top 15 disasters in history!
1. Hurricane Katrina (LA/MS/AL/FL) 2005 1833 $133,800,000,000
6. Hurricane Ike (TX/LA/MS) 2008 112 $27,000,000,000
7. Hurricane Wilma (FL) 2005 35 $17,100,000,000
8. Hurricane Rita (TX/LA) 2005 119 $17,100,000,000
9. Hurricane Charley (FL) 2004 35 $16,500,000,000
12. Midwest Floods 2008 24 $15,000,000,000
13. Hurricane Ivan (FL/AL) 2004 57 $13,000,000,000
14. 30-State Drought 2002 0 $11,400,000,000

The Misery index was worse in the early 1980s than it ever was under Obama. Inflation and unemployment combined was a double wammy.
Inflation was a result of Nixon manipulating the money supply to get reelected and UE was 7.5% and stable when Carter left, whereas UE was 7.8% and skyrocketing when Bush left.
 
High inflation, plus high unemployment is why the early 80s recession was worse than the 2008/2009. Its rare that you get high inflation and high unemployment together. Unemployment under Reagan peaked at 10.8% in November 1982.
Yeah up from the stable 7.5% UE rate Carter passed off to St Ronnie. Reagan jacked UE up to 10.8% all on his own as a result of the policies he put in place in 1981.
 
I really don't understand why you people hate BUSH so much to such a degree you totally ignore the realities of the events that caused many problems !
5,000 people died between 9/11 and hurricanes!
$8 trillion in lost businesses, market values , homes destroyed and yet none of these events you people recognize as having
ANY effect on the economy!
Why is this so? The truth is when history is written about Bush's presidency historians will say that IN spite of these events..
the country moved forward! For that Bush will be considered one of the great presidents!

I really don't understand why a political ideology trumps reality!
Yes Bush was a Republican! But 9/11/Hurricanes/recessions know no party ideology!
So why are you people such haters of GWB when all he could do was respond to the events as they occurred!
The answer is that you Bush bashers have been totally brainwashed by the MSM's bias.
You get your distorted information from the biased MSM that donated 85% to Democrats!
The TV anchors all presented more negative stories about Bush then they have done with Obama!
Yet none of you people that bash Bush seem to have the objectivity to comprehend this manipulation of your perceptions!
Time will prove me right folks because I know the above events occurred. Can't change that!
When these events occurred lives were lost as well as trillions of dollars and that had an affect on millions of Americans!
 
Where did I say anything about his response? I was talking about his actions before the attack, not after. Cute how you switched that up.

Obama said"So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.”
He proudly proclaims he wants to put 1,400 companies out of business. He wants 450,000 people unemployed. He wants $100 billion in tax revenue to disappear. He said that when he said: "I prefer single payer health system." So what does he think will happen to those companies?
Obama wants foreign oil dependency!
1)told Brazil to develop oil and that the USA will be their best customer?
"backed by USA funds lending $2 billion to the Soros' 22% ownership of Brazil's Petrobras!
Petrobras wants to drill (32,810 feet) of ocean and sub-sea rock in Carioca, an offshore field with
33 billion barrels. "
- Bloomberg
2) Encourage foreign drilling OFF Florida by Cuba
3) Encourage Canada to sell almost 1 million barrels per day to China?
4) Obama signed almost 50% fewer oil finding leases on Federal lands.
This is the ONLY real executive action any President can have on INCREASING production which would INCREASE supplies and Obama ....
a) In 6 years new leases under Obama..........9,922 new leases..
b) In 8 years new leases under Bush...........23,569 new leases!

And so in doing all these anti-business statements and efforts... we do have more people out of work.

How Obama Is Keeping Small Businesses Down
Obama said he would help small businesses out, but it hasn't happened yet.

As for new regulations that are crushing small businesses, the evidence is everywhere. A recent survey of small banks conducted by the Mercatus Center at George Mason found that "many respondents expressed frustration at how the rules would affect their ability to continue offering customers products that had worked well for both the bank and the customers.” These small banks talk of the implementation of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law of 2010 as a “maddening pace of illogical and unnecessary regulation” that would not have prevented the 2008 financial collapse.

Notice how you can't refute the reality that the Great Recession dwarfs all those events combined. :thup:

YOU got to be kidding!
TELL the 5,000 people that died!
MY god nothing, NOTHING has happened of that magnitude since Obama's been in office!
Trillions of dollars in lost assets, buildings, destroyed! Businesses destroyed!
And YOU equate a few people's jobs being lost?
By the way you are also ignoring totally the TARP program has MADE a profit for the government!
And THAT was a direct benefit of the phony "great recession"!
The aggressive policies of the Federal Reserve and other central banks - though not without criticism - are widely credited with preventing even greater damage to the global economy. For example, the Fed lowered a key interest rate to nearly zero in order to promote liquidity and – in an unprecedented move – provided banks with a staggering $7.7 trillion of emergency loans.

You're completely deranged. :cuckoo:

We're talking about the financial costs, ya moron. :cuckoo:

And everything you list combined pales in comparison to the Great Recession Bush dumped on Obama.

Our bottom-line estimate of the cost of the crisis, assuming output eventually returns to its precrisis trend path, is an output loss of $6 trillion to $14 trillion.
 
Bill Clinton should have invaded Afghanistan in 1998 instead of just firing Cruise Missiles which only ended up redistributing some dirt in Afghanistan. Bill Clinton left the Taliban, Al Quada, and SADDAM for Bush to deal with.
Clinton kept us safe inside the U.S. when Clinton warned us terrorists would try to attack us here, the right castigated him as an opportunist who was lying about the threat to spend more money and to get the public to forget about his impeachment.

Only it turned out Clinton was right.
"Iraq does not represent any threat to the United States at this time. Their weapons programs have been exaggerated by the Clinton Administration."

- Tom Delay, 1999
Clinton predicted on January 22 that it is "highly likely" that a terrorist group will attack on American soil within the next few years. He is using this risk as the excuse to create a Domestic Terrorism Team headed by a military "commander in chief," with a $2.8 billion budget. We should not underestimate the deceit and deviousness of Clinton's plans to use aggressive presidential actions to wipe out public memory of his impeachment trial.

Look there is nothing "cute" about 9/11. About hurricanes. About dot.com bust.
All of those above events WERE NOT foreseen nor preventable by Bush ...maybe the Messiah Obama but not by mortal beings.
MY point of reminding people is to understand WHERE the country was heading IF GWB hadn't been the President by say
our moribund, "blame America" President Obama!

The problem is the majority of people that have this anti-Bush attitude don't seem to realize the role the MSM played in building
this anti-Bush attitude.
All those events combined pale in comparison to the Great Recession Bush dumped on Obama.

YOU ARE diminishing 5,000 people's DEATHS!
YOU ARE DIMINISHING 2.5 million jobs directly related to 9/11!
YOU ARE DIMINISHING the affects of the hurricanes on people's lives!
My goodness YOU are so far up Obama's anus it really really is disgusting!

So you are USING a "Our bottom-line estimate of the cost of the crisis," ESTIMATED number!!!!
Where are your facts?

Plus ya moron... There were some other minor events here say
$1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history.
Again idiots like you TOTALLY forget these were the worst hurricane SEASONS in history! The worst! No presidency every faced the following:
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.
It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Rank Disaster Year Deaths Damage* $250 Billion in damages in the 8 disasters of the top 15 disasters in history!
1. Hurricane Katrina (LA/MS/AL/FL) 2005 1833 $133,800,000,000
6. Hurricane Ike (TX/LA/MS) 2008 112 $27,000,000,000
7. Hurricane Wilma (FL) 2005 35 $17,100,000,000
8. Hurricane Rita (TX/LA) 2005 119 $17,100,000,000
9. Hurricane Charley (FL) 2004 35 $16,500,000,000

Finally what is the price tag on the 5,000+ lives that were lost? There is an economic impact with them.
AND NOTHING Obama has contended with EQUALS that!

You are laughable when you are trying to defend Obama's total hatred for Americans, his distaste for capitalism and
definitely his anti-business attitude as manifested by all his efforts to continue to destroy American jobs!
He will be shown as one of the most destructive presidents within several years.

I like how you put a price tag on each hurricane which adds up to about $250 Billion, but in a desperate attempt to keep up with the estimated $6-$14 trillion cost of Bush's Great Recession, resort to fuzzy math to get $250 Billion magically become $1 trillion. :lmao:
 
cost of Bush's Great Recession,

Since Bush and Hoover were very liberal does that make you a conservative? Given the Obama, another liberal, has prolonged the recession 7 years so far does that encourage you to be more conservative still??
