Obama slowed down job losses.....and turned it into job gains. This is an accomplishment.
I couldn't help notice in a previous post you mention 3 YEARS.
Was it not 8 YEARS that started this economoc drain, 6 of which was with a Republican administration and a Republican Congress?
Now that is funny, yes, it shows 14 months of job growth and a net private sector job loss. Is that really what you want to tout as a success?
It shows 14 months of net job gains, as I said. Stop trying to change the subject.

Adam, it really is hard for you to admit that liberalism has made a fool out of you. After adding 4.5 trillion to the debt these are the results we have, a net job loss, declining labor force, and rising misery index. You seem very proud.

It's really IMPOSSIBLE for you to just admit that you were wrong and stop trying to change the subject, isn't it?
Obama isnt a liberal. He seems to be a right wing moderate.
Also many right wing presidents have also added to the national debt...
Haven't changed the subject at all, Obama has a net job loss, a declining labor force, and rising misery index. He is promoting class warfare as evidenced by the OWS crowd and thus further eroding any support he has. His results tell it all.
No President in modern history has ever added 4.5 trillion to the debt in 3 years.

Maybe a little more than tea party members understand the constitution and articulate a coherent argument. They seem comparable in this regard.
Of course you changed the subject. You denied that there has been job growth for 14 consecutive months and you were dead wrong. Of course you're also wrong about the misery index, which is falling.
OMG that is funny
No, never denied it at all, agree with it, so tell me when you add 4.5 trillion dollars to the debt, don't you think there should be better numbers and a net job gain vs. a net job loss? How about that declining labor force? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty?

Well let's see, George Bush added more than $4.5 trillion to the debt and took us from an unemployment rate of about 4% to an unemployment rate of about 8%. So yeah, I'd say that's a problem.
Less than one year out from Election Day 2012, voters remain overwhelmingly pessimistic about the economy, and their concerns are taking a toll on President Obama's re-election chances. Just 41 percent of Americans think Mr. Obama has performed his job well enough to be elected to a second term, whereas 54 percent don't think so.
The president's overall approval rating remains in the mid-40's, according to a CBS News poll - lower than the approval ratings of Mr. Obama's four presidential predecessors at this point in their first terms. Mr. Obama's approval rating is dragged down by his poor marks for his handling of the economy - which, at 33 percent, is the lowest rating of his presidency in CBS News polls.
Mr. Obama receives better marks on foreign policy and for his leadership skills. But when it comes to leading the economy in the right direction, voters are unimpressed: Just 28 percent think he has made progress on improving the economy. And most Americans say the president doesn't share the public's priorities, according to the poll, conducted December 5-7.

Indeed:
"In labor temples, lecture halls and library meeting rooms across the country in recent months, I have had hundreds of discussions with folks like Sanders: hard-working, deeply committed grassroots party activists who line up well to the left of a president they see as too quick to compromise on economics, civil liberties and wars. Some prominent progressives have stepped up, endorsing a letter in mid-September arguing that without a primary challenge, “progressive principles past and present [will] be betrayed.” The signers include Ralph Nader, Cornel West, Gore Vidal, Jonathan Kozol, Rabbi Michael Lerner, former South Dakota Senator James Abourezk and Friends of the Earth president Erich Pica. It is not just unmet expectations that lead roughly a third of Democratic voters to tell pollsters Obama should face a primary challenge; it is also a sense that the president cannot energize the Democratic base and win in 2012 unless he is forced to define himself as a dramatically more progressive candidate."

How the hell does he get elected with these numbers?

Quite simply, just like Bush was elected in 2004. The GOP has put up such weak candidates that the majority of people (while they may not think Obama is doing as good a job as he should) could believe that the GOP would do worse.

Obama is such a loser that his only hope is the Republicans find an even bigger loser.....
And the GOP is doing a fine job at finding that loser. Gingrich and Romney are the GOPs strongest that they could come up with? Really?
The GOP is screwed and they only have themselves to blame for 4 more years of Obama.
