[bripat9643]

Up until Obama The President of the United States was accountable for many things....

Obama is not it seems....

they were,oh really? is that why they have got away for crimes for decades now that we go to jail for,thats sure being held accountable.

The only "crime" they have committed is producing and consuming fossil fuels.

Should presidents be given the power, in fact, to direct America's economy, if so, then we could hold presidents responsible realistically for our economic well-being?

Obama apparently has the power to shut down over 200 coal fired power plants.

 

[bripat9643]

Obamas unemployment rate is lower than Reagans was at this point

Are conservatives ready to declare Obama their messiah ?

Reagan's GDP growth numbers were in the stratosphere compared to Obama's

NOT ONE major event like the following that occurred during George W Bush and Bush still had the 6th lowest had occurred in the above list.
How about these events...was there ANY AFFECT on the economy?
Recession
1) Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?
Because you don't seem to comprehend... RECESSIONS are like football length tankers... it takes miles to turn one...i.e. so does
a "RECESSION"... it doesn't just start the day NBER states... it is a slow degradation and it started under CLINTON!!!

Source: USATODAY.com - It s official 2001 recession only lasted eight months

A Major $5 trillion market loss
2) Are you aware that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $5 trillion in losses?
Again Clinton laid claim BUT someone had to pay and it occurred during Bush's first year! $5 trillion in market losses MEAN lost tax revenue
PLUS JOBS!!!!
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.

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. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
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.

Anthrax Attacks...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

4) $1 trillion in 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. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Historical Federal Receipt and Outlay Summary

Largest Gross Domestic Product in history!!
When Bush took office in 2001 GDP was $12.355,271,000,000
when Bush left office in 2008 GDP was $14,359,490,000,000
A 16% increase in GDP or $2 TRILLION.
So how did those 4 gigantic events affect the Gross Domestic Product from 2000 to 2009?

So starting in 2001 132,548,000 people were working.
At the end of 2008 138,056,000 people working..

IN spite of recession, dot.com bust, 9/11, worst hurricanes.... MORE people were working... more tax revenue was collected. GDP grew!

And yet when he left office things had just gone really, REALLY bad. The 2nd worst recession in US history. Unemployment, and major problems. But hey, Bush wasn't president on the 31st January 2009 so it's all Obama's fault that the recession was in place on that day, right?

It was the second worse only because Obama and the Dims made it the second worse. Hoover and FDR turned the panic of 1929 into the worst depression.

Obama took us from 10.0% to 5.2%! Pretty good for ideas that you say fail!

Government is needed!

Reagan's GDP growth numbers were in the stratosphere compared to Obama's

Obama's stock market numbers are higher The rich didn't invest shit in our country and use slave labor in china. Our problem is the rich don't give a damn about this country...Yet, you small government assholes want to give more of our economy to them.

Should presidents be given the power, in fact, to direct America's economy, if so, then we could hold presidents responsible realistically for our economic well-being?

Obama apparently has the power to shut down over 200 coal fired power plants.

Coal causes disease, cancer and it cost too much.

[U2Edge]

Obamas unemployment rate is lower than Reagans was at this point

Are conservatives ready to declare Obama their messiah ?

Well at this point, the labor force participation rate was 65.5% with Reagan. With Obama the labor force Participation rate is 62.6%. If Obama's labor force participation rate was 65.5%, his unemployment rate would be over 9%. So economically speaking, the economy was providing for more jobs for the population as a whole in the summer of 1987 under Reagan than it is under Obama in 2015.

The current labor force participation rate has not been this low since October 1977!
