    I don't think the Republicans are duping anybody right now who doesn't WANT to be duped, and they'll keep mouthing "Obama made the recession worse" everytime there is a microphone in the room. It's their last best HOPE. And they ridicule Obama for hope.

    Funny, just a few years ago they were telling us to make the country stronger, we must save more. Now they tell us to make the country stronger we must spend more. I have yet to hear them say to make our country stronger, we must make more and that is the real answer.

    How do you blame Bush for what Obama pushed and signed last week? Nothing is ever Obamas fault

    13 million unemployed is a lot. But it was 15 million just over a year ago.

    Your ignorance to the way Obama is ignoring the LAW is baffleing. I am surprised that you don't really want to see this for what he is. If you are ok with citizens being able to be locked away without trial. A president that ignores ALL forms of laws and supression put on the office to keep him from doing MORE unconstitutional acts.

    He is a dictator and you are just in denial. He had FULL support from congress for 2 years, yet the unemplyment numbers only turn around AFTER the GOP took the house back and STOPPED Obama for 10 months. I wont be shocked when the numbers go back up now that Obama will run the country without congress telling him NO.

    Ron didn't say or tell anyone that. They used his name to sell papers. He has never acted like that or voted for laws of oppression.

    They were meant to decrease. That was one of the reasons for NAFTA and Free Trade.

    The crash WAS Bush's fault. Between two trumped up wars that he didn't want to pay for and the misguided tax breaks, he (*)(*)(*)(*) near broke this economy. Clinton left him with gravy. Bush turned the gravy into snot.

    I'm confused by all the liberal glibbness. Whats more important to you?

    More people are working or less people are counted as unemployed?


    Or are you just pimping a number?

    Basically agreeing with you. Economy is congress, military is president.

    911 - Presidents fault.

    Economy - Congress's fault.

    No under Bush we had 7% unemployment. Employment went down and we went into a recession when democrats took back the majority in 2007
