Obama is the Democrats Reagan.

please link to Obama policies that directly affected those items.

The stimulus, the bail out of GM and Chrysler, the decision to expand the drone zone in Pakistan and go after Bin Laden, and the decision to support the rebels and go after Gaddafi.

Obama has done a great job, but the Republicans don't have the balls to admit it.

funny... I don't see a link in there that supports your statements. What are you trying to hide?

 

[Big Fitz]

The Republican spin machine is heating up, shaking uncontrollably, and smoking.

It may come apart at any minute.

Obama is the Democrats Reagan.

Obama is the second coming of Carter, so close yet so wrong. The question is will he LEAD to another Reagan? Or Coolidge?

Yes obama is another Carter as for the economy, but he is also a geroge bush when it comes to the Constitution.

You mean Woodrow Wilson, Right? W was a piker when it came to violating the constitution compared to that fuck.

We just had the government 'get out' of Chrysler for a 6 billion dollar loss to the tax payers. That's good how? GM just shuffled money around and took out new loans and is STILL looking at going down if the lack of sales for the Chevy Volt are any indicator. The stimulus has bailed out foreign banks quite successfully, but has been an abject failure in this nation. Besides, isn't that more a Bush era fuckup? Okay, Obama can have the blame for it too, since he's pushed for QE2 and wants QE3 now.

Obama has done a great job for the Chinese and radical Islamofascists by inflaming hate for the US around the world and undermining our economic health.

The meme about 1.2M people dropping out of the labor force is hilarious. No amount of evidence to the contrary will stop Rush, Tyler Durden, The far right loonies(but I repeat myself) or some jackass on CNBC from repeating it.

Sadly, some of the aforementioned people are smart enough to know better. They are simply pimping a lie because to do otherwise would be to admit that the jobs report was good news. We all know that good news for America is bad news for the far right.

That number comes straight from the same report you are so proud of jackass.

But the report does NOT say 1.2 million dropped out. The census data showed an undercount, so Saround 1.5 million were added, mostly in the 16-24 and 55+ age groups, so a lot of students and retirees: not in the labor force. The labor force also increased.

Actually it does say 1.2 million. Yes the labor force did increase. You may also want to double check if the ages groups mentioned were added or subtracted.

The recovery continues....

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- American employers substantially stepped up their hiring in January, bringing the unemployment rate down for the fifth month in a row.

Employers added 243,000 jobs in January, the Labor Department reported Friday, marking a pick-up in hiring from December, when the economy added 203,000 jobs.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell to 8.3%. That is the lowest since February 2009.

Job growth was much stronger than expected. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney had forecast 130,000 jobs added in the month, and that the unemployment rate likely ticked up to 8.6%.

January jobs report: Hiring ramps up, unemployment falls - Feb. 3, 2012

The numbers show that, as a percentage of population, there are still fewer jobs today than there were 3 years ago.

The total number of citizens of working age has grown faster than the jobs by far....to verify just search the data CPS Tables

1.2 million were added to the population in the category of "not in the labor force." they weren't "dropped" or "subtracted" from anything.

Be nice if they could do it on their own merit instead of wasting our money on failed concepts like the Volt, which is rapidly becoming a peer of the Ford Pinto, AMC Gremlin, Yugo and Edsel. With that much taxpayer money, I'm sure I could hide LOTS of fatal problems for a while.

No one is denying that. The issue is that many are falsely claiming that the drop is entirely due to discouragement, which is ridiculous. There are many reasons to drop out that see not due to labor market conditions. More kids staying in school, more retirees, more stay-home spouses, more econdary earners deciding not to work....all would lower the participation rate.

No need for links.

The stimulus, the GM and Chrysler bailouts, and the deaths of Bin Laden and Gaddafi are common knowledge.

You guys really have no issues left, now that the economy is improving.

Chrysler has already paid back the loan.

FactCheck.org : Chrysler Paid in Full?

The fact is that the Obama administration "wrote off" part of the original loan issued under Bush.

When Chrysler filed for bankruptcy on April 30, 2009, the "new Chrysler" that emerged assumed only some of the $4 billion loaned by the Bush administration. In a new report issued last month, the GAO explained that Treasury — under the Obama administration — "wrote off $1.6 billion" of the "original $4 billion loan extended to the old Chrysler."

In its May 24 announcement touting Chrysler's final repayment, Treasury acknowledged that it is "unlikely to fully recover" about $1.9 billion.

Since then, the administration has announced that it will sell its remaining Chrysler shares to Fiat, the Italian automaker that will now own a majority of the U.S. car company. Taxpayers will reap about $560 million from the stock sale, Treasury says. That still leaves taxpayers about $1.3 billion in the hole, and Treasury doesn't expect to ever get it back.

And the facts are that the automaker has not completely repaid the investments made by U.S. taxpayers, and that's the result of a decision by the Obama administration to forgive a significant portion of the original loan made by the previous administration.
