I heard something interesting on the radio this morning.

When George W. Bush took office, the unemployment rate was 4.2%. When he left it was 8.3%.

[Henry Hawk]

Well then ... I guess that's a good sign for Obama. At least unemployment has gone down during his first term.

Actually Olias it has gone up.........

Unemployment rate rises to 7.9 per cent – HIGHER than when Obama took office......Unemployment rate was 7.8 per cent on inauguration day in 2009.

Just before Obama took office we were hemorrhaging jobs. Rising unemployment was on a nearly unstoppable trajectory like a rocket. It was stopped but rockets can't exactly stop on a dime. It reached a 10% rate that was unequivocally attached to the Bush administration.

So it HAS gone down.

Unlike the Bush years, when it nearly DOUBLED.

FACT!

[Henry Hawk]

FACT!

FACT is unemployment is higher NOW than when he took office.....that is a fact.

FACT - The president said shortly after that if he failed to revive the economy in three years he would be looking at a 'one-term proposition'

FACT - Obama projected that the economic stimulus plan would create 3 to 4 million jobs by the end of 2010...it didn't.

You wouldn't know a fact if it hit you in the face.

"FACT - Obama projected that the economic stimulus plan would create 3 to 4 million jobs by the end of 2010...it didn't."

What he said was "create or SAVE jobs" ... it DID.

"FACT - The president said shortly after that if he failed to revive the economy in three years he would be looking at a 'one-term proposition'"

He HAS revived the economy.

He said that AFTER he gave his speech, selling his stimulus........then he later said it would "likely" save or create 3 million to 4 million jobs.....He LIED to Americans to get his stimulus.

When a doctor says a treatment will "likely" save someone's life.......and that person dies.........did the doctor lie?

I would find me a new doctor.....

Wow.

There are lots of conditions where "likely" is the honest answer because a 100% certainty is not possible to predict.

I do not share your optimism of most human endeavors.

I have seen the effects of random chance far too often when conducting experiments.
