Worst. President. Ever. President Obama is the “Unemployment President.”
The unemployment rate was at 10.0% in December.
As we look back over 2009 we can now report that Barack Obama lost more jobs in his first year in office than any president in modern history. Barack Obama lost over 4 million jobs alone since his failed stimulus was passed in February.
USA Today reported:
Even before Barack Obama took the oath of office, his economic advisers projected that without hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending, the U.S. economy could lose another 3 million to 4 million jobs on top of the 3.1 million lost in 2008.
It turns out they were optimistic. Even with the $787 billion stimulus package that Obama signed in February, more than 4 million jobs have been lost in 2009, the worst year for job losses since World War II. The jobless rate that advisers projected would peak at 8% has topped 10%.
And it took him until December to hold a jobs summit to address the problem.
And Doug Ross reports that things are likely to get much worse before they get better.

No, no: surely, if not for the Stimulus and Cash for Cars and repaving of every SINGLE highway in the US (seemingly) this year, unemployment would have been—oh, I dunno, 20 or 30%, right?
….I mean, at least among union lobbyists and politically connected liberals.
No, surely mathematics and statistics and the laws of physics themselves must be lying, for truly The One (Allah praise him) could not be wrong.

And the MSM will keep reporting how the “loss of jobs” has been “decreasing” from month to month.

You know that this MUST be Bush’s fault, right? Surely, that is what the NY Times and the other far left nutters will say.

Barry: (holding head in hands) They’re calling me The Worst President Evah. They’re nicknaming me “The Unemployment President.”
I want to be loved. That’s all I ever wanted. My mother abandoned me…All I had was a typical white person for a grandmother.
Rahm: (giving Barry all the encouraging thump on the shoulder ballet-boy can manage) Listen. Ya got Michelle. Doesn’t she mother you real good? Just don’t let her get on top, if ya know what I mean. Ya gotta try to be a man.
Barry: (wailing) I’m losing my mojo!
Rahm: (eyes rolling with boredom) Hey, Bar, keep your eye on the goal. It’s all good when you’re trying to take down the best country the world has ever known.

And by this he means when Obama and the crime syndicate known as the Democratic Congress are voted out or removed.

Obama should keep snorkeling, playing hoops and golfing. Then he can’t meddle with the economy or anything else. Let the adults on the Conservative side run the show. I bet things get fixed real quick.

First of all it’s a “jobless” recovery, he never promise a job for everyone. He only promise a job to his inner circle.
At least illinois will get some jobs when the terrorists from gitmo get sent there. Everything has a “good” outcome when you look at it the right way.

Obummer said he would end prosperity. Now his is backing up his claims. He stated that Bush’s economy was a failure, he could do better. MSNBC backs up the Obummer and claims this is the best economy of the century because a Want-to-be dictator, bower, and hater of freedom fighting Iranian students, controls the destiny of the USA. His vision is total annihilation of the USA’s exceptionalism tradition. Obummer has the audacity to change the USA from a good society to thugs and dangerous street revolutions.

Hurry, hurry hurry, we have to pass an OBSCENE stimulus package that rewards LIBTARDS.
Hurry!!
Oh, yeah, we tried that.

i hate obama more than the next guy and his policies are hurting the economy, but the us economy is bigger than the USG and it’s driven by hard-working AMERICANS who want a better life for themselves and their families and we are working DAMN hard and WE ARE MAKING A COMEBACK.
don;t sell us short.
barring the passage of obamacare, or some MEGA attack, the USA economy will comeback this year.
because of us and despite DC.
don’t bet against us.

President Nojoba will continue to create uncertainty in 2010 that will keep unemployment at high levels.
January 2nd, 2010 | 4:57 pm | #16
I’m one of those unemployed. It’s little satisfaction to hear this news because most of the USA will not understand. The MSM will under-report it (if they say anything at all it will be to blame Bush).
If the real people of this country would finally wise up, it would be worth it to be unemployed.
Sigh

Spent more tax funds than anyone else in history.

Caused more job losses than anyone else in history.

No surprise in Obama and his communo-fascist criminal cohorts constantly blaming Bush.
I’ve lived in Poland under the whip of a communo-fascist regime for the best part of my life.
As long as my memory can reach (perhaps even to pre-shool years) those PARASITES and DEGENERATES have ALWAYS been blaming the “West” and America in particular for their own incomptence, their own, horrendous failures, and even for their own BARBARITY.
It is well known that the communo-fascist regimes have murdered more than 100 million people in the 20-th century.
They also destroyed lives of billions of people by enslaving them.
What is much less acknowledged by the mostly ignorant Western homo-consumus-degeneratus is that those regimes have also stolen and wasted perhaps 500 TRYLLION DOLLARS worth of human work and resources.
The events that are taking place in the US and the Europe are the harbinger of the things to come in the near future if the communo-fascists and their corporate allies have their way.
We are going to face the same level of destruction, waste and barbarism that prevailed in the communo-fascist gigantic concentration camp.
As the economists estimate, lats year the loss of the wealth worldwide was about 50-60 tryllion bucks!
A few more years like that and the entire wealth that the humanity has created for the millenia will be gone.
TAKE MY WORD FOR THAT!
P.S: I’ve once described you the choice I faced when the life forced me to define my status as a slave or a free man.
You will face the very same choice TOMORROW.
There is NO ESCAPE from that.
God bless America! God bless Sarah Palin!
Aha… and Allen West.
Sarah Palin/Allen West in 2012!

FLASH for the Obama-worshipping idiots at MSLSD, Commie News Net, etc. Obama also would make the worst junior high student gov president in the world.
Everything the useless half-black oxygen thief and his gaggle of fisters, intellectual nitwits, maoists, and sodomites touches turns to 5hit.

And I don’t want to hear that “Obama is cleaning up a mess from the Bush era”.
This administration could have waited on pushing healthcare reinvention, cap and tax threats and they could have lowered corporate taxes or even suspended taxes for all Americans for six months, BUT THEY DID NOT. This admin made a series of decisions that have made the average taxpayer and the private sector nervous about the security of the economy. They did NOTHING to make us feel safe about the economy.

The America that used to be is no more.
The America that we dream of can never happen today.
Obama is not the devil that destroyed America, he was fairly elected by the people of America.
There will never again be an America as the founders of America founded it to be, the people who are in America NOW will not allow it.
There is no possible hope that America will ever return to what the founders founded.
The people will not allow it.
Welcome to the tribulation.

Barry needs to work more on his short game – this mope and cringe people voted for is not working. America is poorer, weaker, and less freer every day this wanabee golfer turned president is in office. I didn’t know muslims were such avid golfers. What verse of rhe Koran addresses the love of golf?

Hmm… Yes, unemployment is at 10%, but it’s increased from 8% to 10% since Obama took office in Jan. 2009. According to the U.S. Department of Labor is increased from 5% to 8% in G.W.’s last year in office. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf
Isn’t 3% greater than 2%?
January 4th, 2010 | 5:18 pm | #39
Still haven’t quite gotten to the Ronald Regan greatness of 10.4% unemployment rate.

If Obama really wanted to create millions of jobs all he has to do is enforce existing immigration laws. Currently over 8 million jobs are occupied by illegal aliens.
By cracking down hard on those who employ illega aliens and by arresting and deporting illegal aliens when stopped by law enforcement, Obama could create millions of jobs at fraction of the cost of these job stimulus packages.
This would also go a long way in taking the economic strain off of our healthcare, public school and social services systems.
