Absolutely Amazing so many are so blind!
I tend to think that's a correct statement...but our so called media outlets have spun every one of those point to his favor with success...I dont think it's willful blindness to the facts.
Cognitive dissonance is a discomfort caused by holding conflicting cognitions (e.g., ideas, beliefs, values, emotional reactions) simultaneously. In a state of dissonance, people may feel surprise, dread, guilt, anger, or embarrassment

Of course it Appears that Bush "created" less jobs because unemployment averaged 5.3% under Bush !!!!!
That does not make any sense to me.
Like I said, you can lie to us and tell us how much worse off we are all you want.
Let's say me and you are looking to create jobs. You take a country with 5% unemployment, I take a country with 100% unemployment. Which of us has a far greater potential to create more jobs? Now do you understand how a lower unemployment rate means less job creation. If people are working you dont need job creation.
It's not the presidents place to create jobs. He has given the so called job creators their tax breaks that they wanted but they still fail to create jobs. These people should be rounded up and charged with fraud.

You're right, everyone is making more money now than they ever did, because one person who is doing better must mean everyone is.
Yep, that is exactly what I said.
Just so you know, bush created 2,716 jobs in his first term, so far Obama has created 1,960, drinking the Kool-Aid much?
You source your numbers and I will source mine.
Source
www.truthfulpolitics.com...:/truthfulpolitics.com/comments/u-s-job-creation-by-president-political-party/
George W. Bush R 2001–2005 +2,716
Barack Obama D 2009–2013 +1,960 (through 2011)
This is a fact.
Here is what I found at your link.
404 error not found
Wow, that is convincing.
Here is a question, why are you truncating even your own source? Through what month in 2011? We are halfway through 2012 you know?
Did you look at your source?
You know there was a net loss of jobs by the end of Bush's second term?
Yeah, someone told you I was wrong and you really want me to be but all you have proven so far is you have no clue what you are talking about and apparently went to a rather suspicious little blog for your proof.

Thank you for proving my point for me. So you guys that want Obama out, you liked that downward trend better than the upward trend?
Originally posted by OccamsRazor04
In 2005 the trend was upwards. Want to know who took control of the house and senate in 2005? I will give you two guesses.
Want to know who had the Presidency, house, and senate, during this huge plunge?

The same people that are there now, during the upward trend.

Bush was president.
See, I am replying to the concept that everything bad under Obama is Obama's fault. No one told me that everything bad that happened under Bush was the congress' fault.

So you think there was an upward trend in 2005? Very interesting. I think you need better glasses my friend.

It should have read you think there was an upward trend after 2005, that was my mistake. So up to 2005 the trend went up, then Democrats took control of the house and senate. The trend shifted downwards at this point. Things also appear to get better after the Democrats lose numerous seats and Republicans gain back the House.
The same people that are there now, during the upward trend.

No you didn't. During the Upward trend Republicans had control. Democrats took control and the trend changed from upwards to downwards.

What are you looking at? It is still trending up at the end of that graph.

Thank you for noticing it began to trend UP when Democrats lost control of the House. That is what I am looking at.
Democrats gain BOTH House and Senate - Afterwards we have a Down Trend
Republicans then gain control of the House - Afterwards we have a Upward Trend

Republican control of the House ?
Might make a difference.

I already answered. Job creation has little to do with the President. Job loss can be attributable to him.
