    Do you have any good ideas for employing the people who lost jobs at Macy's and Best Buy?

    Here's a thought: If foreign workers are better educated than native Americans are maybe we should hire their teachers to teach our kids. That way our citizens can become more educated, which will reduce the need for all of those highly educated foreign workers.

    He does not, and never has had, a fricking clue about anything ever, especially the economy, foreign policy, domestic policy, energy policy, education policy, tax policy, spending policy, legislative policy, administrative policy, and the list is endless. Being an imbiclie is obviously a full time job, and O'Bama must be exhausted.

    O'bama has a team of theoretical academics, not real world practitioners.

    Well think about this: The average major corporation has a Board Of Directors consisting of bigwigs in the business world. It has a highly paid CEO, COO, CFO, executive vice presidents, senior vice presidents, lawyers, accountants and managers. Yet they still go bankrupt and out of business.

    The government, OTOH, has been in operation for 223 years. It has survived wars, financial depressions, invasions. It has been ran by nitiwts and racists, generals and small businessmen. It has a better record than any business.

    Only a liberal would expect the president to create jobs. It isn't the president's job to create jobs. The corporations and monopolies are the ones to create jobs. you know, give the wealthy tax breaks and more free intrest free money from the fed. You know, Trickle down economics; the liberal concept of how simple it is to put people b ack to work..

    If the liberals get there way and shrink government, that would create a better jobless program. More gubment workers will be unemployed and working for the masters of monopoly.

    Few would agree that James Cessna is a liberal.

    Sources please.

    Without sources these are unsubstantiated and unsupported conclusions on your part.

    Domestic jobs are created when small start ups get funding and can hire people within their own nation to supply manpower. Jobs are created overseas when you endow corporations who will move plants overseas for a $.33 percent a head savings with more tax breaks and incentives to offshore their labor and keep dummy corporations in their country.

    There will always be sweatshop labor somewhere. The jobs aren't coming back until we tackle trade issues.

    Most Americans have an elementary school understanding of the economy. It is not surprising that many forum members are the same.

    the question posed by the OP is does the POTUS have the foggiest idea how jobs are created.

    I would gather that to be jobs within the DPS (dreaded private sector) and my reply would be absolutely no, he does not

    He has never had a real job or created one. His whole life is full of scams and crime.
    That's all he knows, a crooked used car salesman with no thought or caring about the pain and suffering he distributes!
    Puppet of the Rich, he says he fights!

    You might actually what to get up to speed on what Republicans want before you embarrass yourself by rattling off such ludicrous inaccuracies on this forum. I'm a Republican myself, but you are going to come here and tell me what I want?

    I could could go into how the main idea behind the formation of the Tea Party was dissatisfaction of how both major parties have been running the country, but you would likely just reply with accusations of the tea party being a neo-nazi racist hate organization as the vast majority of your liberal brethren like to embarrass themselves by doing right here on this forum. I have seen several examples of it on the forum already today.

    But go ahead and keep attempting to mischaracterize the opinions of everyone you disagree with. We can all use a few more laughs at your expense.

    Here is Barack Obama's latest report card, by the way.

    I guess the American voters will have to award Obama an "F" for his very poor performance since 2008!

    Consider this: Romney is wealthy. How many jobs has he personally created (beside elevator riggers who installed an elevator for his cars)?

    All of this 'job creation' talk is nothing but political BS.

    The private economy vacillates...this is natural and expected, and within this vacillation some companies fail while others succeed, new companies show up, and healthier companies take over weaker companies, etc. Along with this anticipated vacillation comes unemployment and lower taxation when at it's lower points.

    The problem with the government, and socialists like Obama, is they will try to convince voters that the government can actually do something to 'control' the $14 trillion PRIVATE economy...to create jobs or increase taxes or whatever the political dumbing-down point of the day might be. The government can buy stuff with taxpayer dollars from the private sector which if prolonged and sustained might lead to more jobs. The ONLY other way to greatly increase jobs is to greatly increase the demand on products and services in the private sector...someone should ask Obama how he is going to achieve this?

    Lastly, moving away from all the political BS, there are simply too many people in the USA today compared to the number of jobs created in the $14 trillion economy. We have too many stupid Americans who lack education and skills and too many Americans who are lazy and won't do certain types of jobs...hence the demand for illegals and green card workers.

    The large companies who operate in a global marketplace, the one's who hire lots of people, today have facilities around the world or are outsourcing around the world. One thing Obama should do is make sure that American companies are not plagued with higher costs and other obstacles because of government. This is a start although a small dent in doing business; labor and material and transportation costs in the USA are the main problem, keeping us from competing in the global marketplace with domestically-made products, and we have proven with our actions that this will probably will not change.

    So...our population increases by the millions yet the economy only creates jobs at a lower rate therefore I suggest everyone get used to 7-10% unemployment numbers well into the future...

    I suggest it's not just better educated but also with a better work ethic. And most of these green card workers are involved in the math and science's type work which is way over the heads of at least 70% of the American public.

    I'm guessing that how kids are educated in other nations would not be tolerated in the USA by our spoiled and self-serving and righteous public. Is a public education environment supposed to be a playground void of failure or a well structured system with discipline for failure? If you can honestly answer this question this will explain why your suggestion won't work.

    BTW; Native-Americans are different than Americans...

    For all the idiots who are jealous of Romney's wealth, or anyone's wealth, or any corporation's success and profits, are just idiots!

    For all the idiots in this USA, try to imagine how things might be if we had 1000 Bill Gates and his success? 1000 Romney's?

    Why did you cut out relevant data? Other than to cherry pick data to create a false impression, I mean.

    The Kennedy tax cut (to a top rate of 70%) lasted until 1981, The Reagan tax cuts lasted until 1991, and the Bush tax cuts are still in place today.

    How could he since he and that lard arse of wife never worked a day in their miserable lives? Oh wait, she did get paid over $300,000 per year to do absolutely nothing. Not bad for an immigrant from Kenya.
