    less than "1 percentage point" decline would be more accurate.

    But we knew what he was talking about.

    "Employment was at a record high the last full month Obama was in office."

    That resolves it.

    They should both get credit because they have both been the President during times of a great employment comeback.

    no...nahhhh you just brought up black guy in a thread about employment. Obama got accused of stuff because he did stuff wrong. It had nothing to do with being black. Only you brought up skin color not us. Give the racism a rest....mmkay. You and Roseanne can make the jokes privately from now on...mmkay?

    Extending Bush's tax cuts isn't cutting taxes. It's leaving them as they are and in that deal Obama let expire the tax cuts for people making over $450,000 which is a tax increase.

    And tax rebates are not tax cuts. They are a one time event.

    Nice try, but no cigar for you.

    I love when people say X did something wrong without saying what it was or providing empirical evidence for it

    You're repeating yourself. I'll do it too.

    LMFAO! Here it comes. The Bush tax cuts were expiring. Of course renewing was a tax cut. As were the other tax cuts I identified in my post.

    All of which you had no clue about. "Obama didn't cut one tax." "Taxes were never cut under Obama."

    RW propaganda. Keeping conservatives misinformed for 40 years.

    Heres how:
    The black farmer grew a large potato.

    The farmer grew a large potato.

    Only racists caveat black skin color in an unrelated topic.

    And how exactly is that "racist" in your view?

    How is that insulting or denigrating or stereotyping or vilifying an individual or group based on their race?

    How have I taken the "roseanne" side.

    If you want to see something racist, scroll back a few pages, where a member was referring to Obama as "Kenyan skidmark". Now that's pretty racist.

    No they don't. There is nothing at all racist in those statements.

    How is "the black farmer grew a large potato" a racist statement? It does not negatively reflect on blacks as a group nor the farmer because he is black.

    Other Presidents did stuff wrong too but were not accused of faking BLS numbers. Why is Obama different?

    Here, defend this obsession with race especially since you liked it.

    I swear, the only other ones this obsessed with race is the KKK.

    The so called 'alpha" is upset that I insinuated that Obama's skin color is why all of a sudden unemployment numbers are real now that Obama is gone.

    As you have said, it is funny that the 41% argument has gone the way of the dinosaur.

    Yeah I am sure that his skin color had nothing to do with right wingers questioning his birth certificate when he produced it TWICE. Faking UE numbers was just an extension of that. Is UE really 41% as Donald says?

    Well, sorry, while I don't subscribe to his silly claim that making your argument is "racist", nor do I subscribe to the belief that every opposition to Obama was because he was black.

    The modern Republican party MO is non-cooperation and attack regardless which Dem is in office. They've shown repeatedly they have no interest in doing what is best for the country unless it is to their political advantage. I really don't think it would have matter what color the person in the white was.

    Do you think repeating the same thing over and over makes your argument more persuasive?

    Many conservatives have bizarre ideas about what is effective in debate.

    I have brought links to back up each of my claims.

    You have failed miserably in that regard,

    I'll repeat it until you understand that Obama didn't cut taxes.

    Extending Bush's tax cuts isn't cutting taxes. It's leaving them as is.

    And rebates are a one time thing and are not tax cuts.

    I am sure only race matters to you instead of the economics discussed.
