And he is. Over 3 million private sector jobs created over the last 2 years of 23 consecutive months of job growth.The President was hired to lead and promote private sector job creation and growth, not a declining labor force and fewer private sector jobs than when he was hired. That is the Obama record and I know how much he appreciates your support because you obviously need his kind of help.

Your vain attempts to saddle Obama with the 4 million jobs lost early in his presidency due to Bush's Great Recession is falling on deaf ears as even as recently as two weeks ago, a poll revealed that by a factor of almost 2 to 1, most people still blame Bush. You can call them stupid all you want, but many of those people will be voting in November.
Which by November, if the current trends continue, the unemployment rate will be lower than when Obama started and he will be very difficult to beat.
I don't know. Someone posted up this link the other day 2012 Election: The Candidate Match Game - USATODAY.com -- I took the test and came out tied that my ideal candidate was either Obama or Romney. What?! Maybe the Republican stance on raising taxes is, in the end, a painful/hurtful position for them. 'Course I do support national healthcare...so maybe I'm reallly a Moderate.
So you're for a person who's pro-choice. I wouldn't have guessed that.I have no problem at all with a state program because it is easier to change at the state level than at the national level. Healthcare is a state and local responsibility not a Federal One Size fits all program

Okay why doyou think this?
That does nothing to dispell the fact that close to 4 million jobs were lost on Obama's watch during Bush's Great Recession.
I would hope you could comprehend that is the reason Obama leads every Republican running; And again, if the trend continues, it's only going to get worse for the GOP.
When Reagan became president, the unemployment rate was 7.5%. When he was up for re-election, the unemployment rate was 7.3%. He won in a landslide. Now by no means am I predicting a landslide victory for Obama, but I am predicting he will win if the unemployment rate is under 7.8% by the election.
It would have been very different. I believe it would be worse today as they would have maintained the same Republican policies which wrecked the economy to begin with.And were McCain Palin to be in office whhat would be different?

Cries the guy who says he voted for Bush over Gore and Kerry because they would have been worse.We will never know, do you work for the Psychic hotline?

So much for shovel ready jobs and the loss of jobs in 2010 well after the recession ended. What you seem to forget conveniently is that the Discouraged workers aren't counted as unemployed and are more than double the Bush average. adding the unemployed and discouraged workers together make the Obama results a disaster.
If obama can get enough people to get discouraged and drop out he definitely could get unemployment below 8%
No I don't but it seems like you think you think it would be a lot better should a Republican in the White House. Now then what would be better about a Republican being in office other than you getting jollies and your cheerleading not going to waste? And please no more sloganeering sound bight BS.
Yet Obama is polling within one percentage point of what he won the electron in 08 against maverick.maverick was a better choice then the current clown show. Go figure.
If you knew anything, you'd know that unemployment is a lagging indicator of the economy. Still, almost 4 million jobs were lost until Bush's Great Recession ended. No one in their right mind blames Obama for jobs lost because of Bush's Great Recession. And over the last 23 consecutive months of private sector growth, we've gained over 3 million jobs. By election day, that number will be well over 4 million and 33 consecutive months if the trend continues.So much for shovel ready jobs and the loss of jobs in 2010 well after the recession ended.
I don't think promoting class warfare and showing zero leadership skills is a winning argument for leadership. Apparently it does appeal to those with the entitlement mentality
Your hyperbole falls on deaf ears.I am not surprised that you are an Obama supporter joining all the other Govt, minority, and union employees that expect the taxpayer to fund everything they want.

Cries a 4-time Bush voter.Results never matter to an Obama supporter as long as you get your taxpayer funded benefits.
Right, it is really lagging and at a cost of 4.6 trillion through 2011 and another 1.1 trillion in 2012 that isn't the kind of results that justify that expenditure but that doesn't matter to the entitlement mentality individuals like you appear to be
