   The unemployment rate has dropped to 8.3% because the SAFETY NET has been repaired! Hahahahaha!

   @ fenace

   You are absolutely right. No matter what good our president does, it will never be acknowledged by the other party. With as much as he has been able to accomplish on his own, just imagine how good things would be right now if he had actually got some cooperation.

     And vice versa.

     He plays the game just as much as everyone else, and I'd love to see them all gone.

     @Danny – I haven't seen the Republicans come up with anything good for the Democrats to block this term, honestly. They spend all their time blocking things, not coming up with ideas. I miss the old Republican party.

     @BK – you don't pay enough attention, I recall the words of Obama to republicans, I will veto the bill if it contains "X", I will veto the bill if it contains "Y". And I remember this bill is "dead on arrival", as it goes to Harry Rieds Senate. I'm not saying republicans are good, I'm just saying that,
     Obama is just as bad as any of them.

   When the unemployment rate goes up its Obama's fault but when it goes down, somebody else gets the credit! Well, at least the whole world has finally seen for itself how America is the most bigoted and racist country known to the world.

     Obama does the same thing.
     "Our policies are working" "Now congress don't muck this up"
     bigoted and racist can go both ways.
     I prefer to call them all, self serving and power hungry

   One thing that always bothered me about Obama was when he would say,
   Republicans would rather have people out of work and paying higher taxes because they are unwilling to compromise.
   When you say that doesn't that also mean you would rather have people out of work and paying higher taxes because you are unwilling to compromise??

   That always seemed like such a stupid thing to say.

   This in not the actual unemployment rate. It is their number. It is all propaganda. I am not a sheep.

   I want to say this as constructive as i can. the unemployment rate is not down and is going up each and every day. the rate is at least twice maybe three times hight than the united states claim. people are giving up on looking for jobs if they don't have them. people are retiring at a high rate from state governments to get away from the cutbacks and bleeding of their pensions that is being sucked out of them by the state governments. This is just the beggining of the great fall. The bubble that the public is witnessing is just that a fake bubble just like the one in the early 2004 and 05. the only difference is it is the fed that is creating it, by putting numbers out there that are not real and having these wall street companies back it up. the same ones they bailed out. Our ecomomy is floating on a raft to nowhere and only needs a storm to knock it over. We are no longer backed by gold only our word. We are a war ecomomy the same one that pulled us out of a depression in the 1930's. remember ww2? now what ? pick a fight or justify one for the sake of our ecomomy. Watch what happens in the next few months before the gret fall begins.
