[comstarone]

Obama's staff are book cookers.ilmbo

[comstarone]

Obama's people like using the old chicago method.Its called cooking the books.And if cap and tax is passed,Millions more will be out of work.I wonder if bush will be blamed for Obama's mistakes too.lol.

[jabberwolf]

The auto plant layoffs have been delayed... they are happening this month... this is what will push it over 10 %.. and this is why even the Obama administration is playing down these numbers.

[FoShizzle951]

SOCIALISM IS WORKING!!!!

[FoShizzle951]

SOCIALISM RULEZ!!!!

[3star2nr]

Obama's Socialist policies seem to be working damn well!

Hurray for socialism!

[jabberwolf]

This economy is struggling to get better, IN SPITE OF OBAMA!

Obama has caused many employers to fire people, lower wages, and NOT hire people.

NONE of his social plans have had long term jobs and are barely implemented yet.

If you want to thank someone, thank your struggling Americans who are creating jobs in spite of Obamas tax and spend policies.

Spending is not a bad thing but when its wasteful, it makes the USA weak and bloated.

[hammermyhead]

Hey asshole the first words of this story are" it's the first good news in "15 months" I think that this all started with Bush! Blaming Obama when Bush fuck up the economy is just the rich saying that the poor need to stay poor and shut up. Fuck you rich commy scum you must die.

[jabberwolf]

Um you ARE the biggest retard.

This was a domino effect due to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac no being regulated, buying up bad loans, and being ALLOWED ( and defended by DEMOCRATS) to have such low liquidity.

I mean are you too stupid to realize why they called it a liquidity crisis?

Democrats defeated bills on regulation in the Banking, Housing and Urban affairs and other committees 2004-2006. And finally had to due to scandal in 2007.

Look it up stupid!

helps when you can think for yourself!

[hammermyhead]

I don't have to look it up this happened in the 80's with the S&L scandals when Reaganomics started the decline of this country. Republican have always tried to make a poor and rich class and they did a good job of letting the illegal aliens work before real Americans. All you have to do is realize that you are the problem and help out and not be a douche bag. Time has shown that the republican party is the worst thing for the poor class and helping everyone is a bad word to them.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Again, let me school you stupid ass.

During the 1970's The U.S. dollar lost 60% of it's valued after Nixon and Jimmy Carter took advantage over the the US Dollar leaving the Gold Standard.

Jimmy Carter, actually imposed price controls that led to many Gas, food shortages as well. On top of that, His handling of the Iran Hostages was not good.

in 1982, Ronald Reagan raised interest rates in order to help the dollar's value. After that year, the economy took off and he was re-elected.

[hammermyhead]

Reagan giving into terrorist was the best thing.Good point of raising interest rates for the poor so the rich didn't have to pay so much made it so much better. And being re-elected by who, like Bush was re-elected by a court that counted un-punched chads on a card. Don't act like the republican party had done any good for this country.During the great depression they were using the Japs for slave labor to perpetuate unemployment today it's Mexicans.Next you are going to say that MLK was Hitler.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Your an idiot.

When you raise interest rates, you give the dollar more purchasing power.

Making goods to go down in price.

Ok mister "Obama can only do good and no harm"

Ok mister " Republican s bad, Democrats good"

who's talking about MLK and Hitler?

well maybe if your govenment wasn't giving Illegals amnesty and free public services, maybe you can have the jobs they take away from you.

[jabberwolf]

"I don't have to look it up this happened in the 80's "

Um yeah you DO have to look it up, otherwise your a RBAR - retard beyond all recognition!

Yes look it up and learn something as I gave you direct information of how, who, why and what happened. For THIS CENTURY!

Man you are stupid, more so than expected. Illegal Immigrants dont take from the USA. Its those that use illegal immigration and withhold benefits and pay no payroll tax.

Is there anything you ARENT wrong about?!

[hammermyhead]

Wow you will believe anything your told if you looked it up. I was there in the 80's. I have never seen history written accurately. It's all slanted to make this country look good.

Who is employing immigrants? Not the poor but the rich republican making money off other peoples back.

You must still live at home with mommy and daddy because you know nothing about surviving in this economy.

[jabberwolf]

And AGAIN

you mention no facts about the Fannie Mae fiasco THIS century.... its just "blah blah blah" ..80'.. republicans are rich.. blah blah blah"

Again, look up who was defending Fannie Mae liquidity practices 2003-2004... those were DEMOCRATS. The comittee of banking, housing and urban affairs democrats shooting down bills before they enter congress.

And this is sad thay you cant admit these plain facts... all you do is repeat rhetoric.

Just like an Obamatard.

[jackandjanie1]

it's time to outsource congress ! everyone needs to vote out any incumbent ! you think the healthcare issue is causing a stir ? wait till the unemployent claims start running out ! we need a revolution ! the local gunshop in cape may county ,n.j. can't keep AR 15s on the shelves , their selling 30 a week ! they gave away our jobs , so now it's time to take back our country ! fuck congress and the senate they been fucking US for years !

[3star2nr]

I guess socialism works afterall....

[hammermyhead]

socialism only works if your a republican!

[cool70200]

get production and manufacturing jobs back and we'd be creating jobs instead of losing them

service sector and beauracracy jobs alone cant support an economy

[3star2nr]

yeah they're coming back, Hopefully the car companies will get strong again.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

AP HAS IT ALL WRONG!!!!

9.5% of 300 million people is:

28,500,000 JOBS LOST

and not 15 million like the AP says.

OBAMA IS A FUCKING FAILURE.

CRAP AND TAX WILL ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.

YOU FUCKING DRONES!! WAKE UP.

THEIR IS NO GOOD NEWS. OBAMA CAN"T CREATE MILLIONS OF NEW JOBS THIS YEAR.

I PROMISE YOU.

[FoShizzle951]

Really? You're equating the number of people that are LIVING in the US to the number of people who can WORK? Does that mean my 2 month should have a job?

Classic conservative thinking...

[jabberwolf]

True but many of the new jobs created are NOT long term and are NOT full time.

And even the Obama administration warns of upcoming 10% unemployment.

And when the Obama administration is pessimistic - watch out !!

[renadewalt]

You are a twit with a capital W. Everyone who isn't a right-wing dingleberry knows that it will probably take years to undo what you and your kissin kuzzins created. No one expects anyone to create millions of jobs for a long time, thanks to people like you.

Don't you have a Town Meeting you're supposed to go to so you can wah wah wah about healthcare?

[jabberwolf]

The healthcare bit?

Yeah because the gallup poll and every other poll that says a MAJORITY of Americans are unhappy with Obama's handling healthcare 0 must be LYING

And factcheck org must be lying too.

And the CBO must be lying that it will create a GROWING net loss over the longterm and not a netgain.

Everyone is upset for no reason, so it MUST be Republicans planning this!??!

ARE YOU RETARDED?!?!

[hammermyhead]

I never saw Bush make any jobs just a 780 billion bill I have to pay. It's his buddy's that got payed not me!

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Wow.

liberals are stupid. Hey dub ass. I don't support Bush. but let me educate you.

Bush passed 1 stimulus in 2008

and

Obama passed 1 stimulus in 2009

both are around $700+ billion dollars.

so I guess if 1 bill wasn't enough, 2 bills won't hurt.

Obama is also thinking about a second stimulus as well, so stay tuned little buddy.

[jabberwolf]

Um Obama took that bill and HE is the one that is deciding, with congress, on what to spend it on,... NOT BUSH

Again, yet ANOTHER thing you are wrong about!

Keep them coming dumbass.
