US Jobless Claims Rise 'More than Expected' This Week, Up By 24,000 to 399,000 Read

And in November and December they reported much higher numbers than the real numbers. It's called seasonal adjustments. Otherwise you couldn't compare it month to month.

So please explain why the false number the made up increased by 30,000 or so last week. That doesn't help the Obama regime.

 

Every single item of that list needs a caveat emptor.
It is all hyped to the max.Meaning under close scrutiny most on that
checklist are flat out partisan hype.Obama decreased Spending.?
Reduced the deficit his first full year.I know his campaign pledge was
to reduce the deficit in half.Saved millions with his stimulus.
Got Bin Laden.
GDP growth.You mean under the cover of darkness.

Obama has handles his Job as President exactly the way he handled
the BP oil spill.He waited a week because he didn't comprehend the
urgency.When he did get around to responding,his first response was to issue
a press release insisting he was on top of the Oil Spill from Day One.
The he spent the next 3 weeks looking for people to blame.
He was feckless and acted like Elmer Fudd.
His gut reaction wasn't in solving the oil spill but to punish whoever
he could convince should be to blame.So out trotted his Lawyers.
The spin machine to castigate BP and Bush the predecessor.
Still no action plan to alleviate the spill.
That is where we're at now.A feckless President who acts like
Elmer Fudd out looking for that Rascally rabbit.Solving nothing and
making a mess wherever he traipses.

 

From Iremon:

o 8 straight quarters of GDP growth <----all less than 2%

o 50% increase in the stock markets <----Point to an Obama Policy that was responsible

o Got Osama bin Laden. <----Seal Team 6 gor Obama, he just watched with his thumb up his ass.

o Got Atiyah Abd al-Rahman <----No the CIA got him, not Obama, he just watched with his thumb up his ass.

o Got Anwar al-Aulaqi <----Assassinated an American Citizen with out due process guaranteed by the Constitution.

o Ousted Muamar Kadaffi at 1/1000 the cost of the Iraq war. <----Provided support (money/material) only to foreign governments armies.

o First president to decrease spending in a year in decades <---How did he spend $4 trillion dollars in just 3 years, no proof, must be BS!

o Reduced the deficit his first full year in office <----Sounds like BS, needs link to proof.

o Saved 2-3 million jobs with his stimulus package and turned the economy around <----Saved only Government jobs who's unemployment never went over 6%.

o Passed health care reform that will provide coverage to tens of millions <----Causing millions to have they healthcare cost skyrocket even though Barry said it would lower it.

o Passed financial regulation reform to prevent another housing bubble fiasco. <----Hasn't prevented Fannie and Freddie from coming repeatedly to the public trough while allowing the executives to take hundreds of millions in bonuses at the taxpayers expense.

What fail?

It's all a fail.

 

They didn't tell you that on the right wing propaganda outlets, eh? Even something like the deficit decreasing.

Amazing the things they don't tell you, isn't it?

Year - total deficit
2009 -1,413.6
2010 -1,294.1

Thanks for demonstrating that even with your fabrications, you could not disprove one of my points.

What fail?

 

"Must be" BS because your right wing propaganda didn't tell you that either, eh?

Year - Tot. outlays.

Gitmo is still open, Obama is assassinating American citizens without trial and he signed the NDAA on December 31.

I don't care what this dickhead does with the economy...he MUST go.
I could stomach him as a person before all this...now he makes me sick.

And any President that follows and agrees with these policies are dickheads and MUST go as well.

America is slowly turning into a police state and the masses are either too stupid and/or too scared to notice.

The economy is still sputtering, but overall it is improving, slowly but surely.

 

And I'm sure you will say the same thing about the Republican House that passed this bill, but wanted even more severe measures that were removed because of Obama's veto threat?

I disagree with Obama signing the NDAA, which was passed by both chambers of Congress, even though he attempted to water it down in his signing statement.

But it amazes me how many conservatives now are so concerned about detaining terrorists without due process, when so few spoke out about it when the Bush administration was actually doing it.

Speaking of which, which Republican candidates spoke out against this bill? I don't recall hearing one even mention it.

 

Are you serious? I honestly thought you knew at least this much about Paul that he is STRONGLY against ALL big government powers...especially those that remove basic rights.

And I typed the following - and I meant it.

And any President that follows and agrees with these policies are dickheads and MUST go as well.

 

I think what is important to note is despite the projected numbers being higher, unemployment still continues to trend downwards. New reporting from BLS has it pegged at 8.5%, the lowest it has been since Obama's first month in office. By this summer it will likely be down below 8%, of course at this point that has nothing to do with Obama and more on how the world economy plays out especially in Europe.

 

Good for him. If he gets the Republican nomination I'll keep that factor in mind.

Any others?

And I'm sure you will say the same thing about the Republican House that passed this bill, but wanted even more severe measures that were removed because of Obama's veto threat?

Or do you give them a bye for some unfathomable reason?

 

Gary Johnson - before he dropped out.

I do not know if any others have....I doubt it.

I give NO politician a 'bye' that agrees with this crap. But they are not the POTUS. Especially a POTUS who made so many pretty speeches before '08 about closing Gitmo and tons of other promises about human rights that he has thrown out the window.

And the less said about that ridiculous Nobel Prize (that I said was ridiculous when he got it)...the better.

I honestly thought Obama would be FAR better then he has been on these policies.

This was the ONE area I thought he would honor.


And when have I EVER shown favoritism to either party?

I have said time and again that they are both USELESS...worse then USELESS.

 

BTW - I am pleasantly surprised the censors allow 'dickhead'.

LOL.

 

This is a prime example. Obama did not write this bill. It originated from the Congress, including House Republicans who wanted even more draconian measures.

But you said not a peep about them.

 

I typed:

'I give NO politician a 'bye' that agrees with this crap.'

If that is not good enough for you...so be it.

 

It was Obama that wanted the language pertaining to American Citizens to be in the Bill. His signing statement is useless. HE promises not to use it against American Citizens and we all know what his promises are worth. NDAA! err NADA!

Go through the posts weeks before this was signed into law. There were quite a few threads about the matter. Most who replied were against the bill and were hoping against hope that Obama would veto it.

 

Sorry, I had missed in your rants your criticism of the House Republicans. You can link me to it if you want.

 

Please cite a source that says "Obama that wanted the language pertaining to American Citizens to be in the Bill". My understanding is different.

 

Try post #90...YOUR post.

You quote my post that has the sentence in question in it and then you ask me to show it to you again 'if I want'?

Fantastic post.


This is disgusting.

Obama MUST go.

He is a hypocrite and a proven liar (check Gitmo) and now is trying to implement police state policies.

 

I'm still waiting for a reply from him.....

 

Are you talking about me? I can't access the video clip at the moment.

 

Levin a Democrat points out that the Obama admin asked for the language.

I'm shocked you havent seen this video. Its been linked in quite a few links about this subject.
