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

[Faun]

Republicans have to hide the gains in employment by averaging it out. With employment it is more accurate to know what figures the administration started with and where the figures are today.

And under Obama barely more people are working today than 7 years ago, which is even worse given the growth in the potential workforce.

Your hallucinations grow increasingly bizarre. In reality, there are 6.4 million more people working today than there were when Obama became president. If 6.4 million in little more than 6 years (about 1 million per year) is your idea of "barely" growing, who knows what you think of Bush41's 4 years in office, which produced only 592K jobs per year. The second lowest growth. His son, Bush43, was the only one worse producing only 547K per year.

No they weren't

They voted to give Bush the option if he felt he needed it

Bush did not go to war when he got the approval. He waited three months and attacked once it looked like it would be proven there were no WMDs

So first you claim Bush rushed headlong into war. Now you claim he waited 3 months. Make up what's left of your mind.
And yes, the resolution authorized force in Iraq. Everyone knew it would likely be used.

Bush panicked once Blix told him he did not think there were WMDs

Bush pulled the trigger before he lost his reason for invasion

Because Bush knew waging war would make him really popular, right?
What you dont know would fill the internet, Nutjobber.

Thats about right

From the day Bush took office, he was looking for an excuse to invade Iraq. Once 9-11 happened, Bush looked for any piece of evidence that Iraq was involved

Bush thought that Iraq would be his legacy....turned out it was

The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is a United States Congressional statement of policy calling for regime change in Iraq.[1][2] It was signed into law by President Bill Clinton, and states that it is the policy of the United States to support democratic movements within Iraq.

slowest "recovery" in history even after multiple "stimulus packages'"

 

[regent]

Yes, Republican tax cuts are the reason 47% of Americans pay no federal income tax.

The ceasefire violations were never sufficient cause to invade Iraq.

Why hasn't Obama raised the federal income tax on the lower and middle class tax payers if the tax cut was such a bad thing?

The leading Democrats in the Senate apparently disagreed with your opinion on invading Iraq since they voted for it.

How did Democrats in the House vote?

You keep avoiding that more Democrats voted against the war than for it and that only seven Republicans had the balls to oppose the invasion

Enough Democrats voted for it, including Hillary Clinton, to enable the war. What about that is mysterious to you? Dems were for the war before they were against it.

The authorization reads: "The president is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he (Bush) determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to...."
It does not say Bush's gotta or were gonna be pissed and impeach Bush if he don't. It just says as "he (Bush) determines." The Congress dumped that decision into Bush's lap, simple politics, and Bush was hot to trot.

Thats a fail. Everyone knew they were voting for war.

If everyone knew they were voting for war why didn't they just declare war? Why did they write a resolution with such words as the "president determines"? Why did Bush allow the Congress to dump the decision into his lap. If Bush didn't know how to ask for a declaration of war he could have watched how FDR did it after Pearl Harbor.
The Republicans got caught with their drawers down, and they did it to themselves.

Hans Blix - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Blix's statements about the Iraq WMD program came to contradict the claims of the George W. Bush administration, and attracted a great deal of criticism from supporters of the invasion of Iraq. In an interview on BBC 1 on 8 February 2004, Blix accused the US and British governments of dramatizing the threat of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, in order to strengthen the case for the 2003 war against the government of Saddam Hussein. Ultimately, no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction were ever found.

Frm your link:
Blix personally admonished Saddam for "cat and mouse" games[3] and warned Iraq of "serious consequences" if it attempted to hinder or delay his mission.[4]

In his report to the UN Security Council on 14 February 2003, Blix claimed that "If Iraq had provided the necessary cooperation in 1991, the phase of disarmament – under resolution 687 – could have been short and a decade of sanctions could have been avoided."[5]

Blix was talking about actions in 1991

In 2003, Blix let it be known there was little evidence of WMDs

There was plent of evidence and Blix wasnt allowed to see much of the suspected sites. Thus in no position to

slowest "recovery" in history even after multiple "stimulus packages'"

Probably "because of multiple packages."

Hardly, but nice try again!

You still haven't disputed the facts posted.

Show the facts!

Look at the price of oil (and subsequently all consumer goods) in late 2008 before obama reimposed drilling and exploration restrictions and follow the price beyond that. Juxtapose that against stagnant and lower wages.

Juxtapose that with the 2.49 gas I bought yesterday, Captain Juxtaposer.

Juxtapose that 2.49 with the 1.35 just before obama imposed drilling restrictions.
Juxtapose that with the 15 - 40% increased consumer goods prices after obama reimposed drilling restrictions.

I've refuted them.

"Since we arrived in Iraq, we have conducted more than 400 inspections covering more than 300 sites. All inspections were performed without notice, and access was almost always provided promptly. In no case have we seen convincing evidence that the Iraqi side knew in advance that the inspectors were coming.

The inspections have taken place throughout Iraq, at industrial sites, ammunition depots, research centers, universities, presidential sites, mobile laboratories, private houses, missile-production facilities, military camps and agricultural sites."
