Unemployment Rate
 

Poll

You forgot

Continuation of failed George Bush policies that pushed the country into a depression and dug a hole so ****ing deep that it is impossible to get out of and also pushed millions of jobs overseas that will never come back.

I'll vote for that one.

I'll drink to that...

So this so-called "brilliant" Obama blindly following the "failed George Bush policies" deserves to be re-elected?

How does a president voted out 3 years ago still affect the country? Answer: the new guy stinks, and you know it.

How about if the country is that bad from George Bush that we have a couple of stimulus packages and a 1.6 trillion dollar deficit for the year? Oh, did that already.

You guys better come up with a better excuse than "It's all George Bush's fault." You beat that dead horse and nobody is buying it. Your reaction is the one I most look forward to on the first Wednesday in November when the votes are all counted.

"So this so-called "brilliant" Obama blindly following the "failed George Bush policies" deserves to be re-elected?"

No he doesn't Joey. Unlike some I vote based upon who I think the better president will be not simply by what party he belongs to.

"How does a president voted out 3 years ago still affect the country? Answer: the new guy stinks, and you know it"
Joey that first question is Nascar-like. Your busting my stones right? I agree with the second part.

As far as beating a dead horse, its a shame George killed the horse.

Would you agree though that it is unlikely that unemployment rising to these levels is part of any successful plan to actually get more people employed?

Our government is owned by those who benefit from jobs being shipped overseas. Red or Blue they are all giving us a big Fu.ck You. I don't see that turning around as those policy makers looking out for themselves FAR FAR outnumbers those looking out for the country.

Yeah, I agree. Better than the push poll choices.

Oh, wait: we forgot to include the best reason: "Stimulus funds are ending, and the 1/3 of stimulus funds that went to the states directly to prevent layoffs of schoolteachers, firefighters, policemen, other government workers is now gone, thus the majority of the people laid off in the past month were government workers as affected by the stimulus funding end".

How about that one, Joey?

Whoever the president elected in 2008 turned out to be, the first thing they had to do was make up for the millions of jobs lost in the previous years, and reverse the freefall. That doesn't happen quickly.

We are still struggling. We need another jobs bill. But oh, how I do like the current direction, versus three years ago.

Our poll is starting to resemble the national polls (7/14)
