Of course that's a great question to ask, since it's entertaining as well as effective with making fun of political morons who can't grasp what's taken place or currently transpiring, if it hasn't come from their beloved Anointed One or some other revered talking head on the Administration's behalf. They're clueless, and many progressive sycophants who post here appear utterly beyond redemption.
Some of us contribute substantive material for the purpose of helping educate a relative few who might have an interest in learning about the topic at hand. Others post strictly to be argumentative, belittle others with personal attacks, and like this Administration, are skilled at and proud of their abilities to obfuscate, pretend issues Americans are concerned about don't exist, or offer laughable excuses that would make the most creative grade-schooler proud. Liberal Democrats prize smoke and mirrors and skilled illusionists in politics, which is part of the reason they're so enamored with Obama. Of course, with more than 90% of black Americans angry and outspoken over perceived slights, in spite of more than half a century of Affirmative Action favor, the President's largest voting bloc showed skin color was more important to them than any other factor for who would get their support to lead the country. And liberals love to call anyone who leans right racist. Wow!!! How does one begin to reason with such ignorance and child-like foolishness?
Since most Americans' biggest concern has been the economy for years, and exit polls in the 2012 election showed jobs and the economy were issues one and two by a large margin, surviving five years of failed policies and incompetence is what the growing numbers who've given Obama embarrassing approval ratings rivaling Nixon's dissatisfied electorate seem most concerned about today. The President polls significantly worse than even George Bush at this point in his Presidency, and deservedly so!
Part of me would like to offer a detailed explanation, again, but that was posted a couple of times for YA! readers over the weekend. Maybe including a link will help someone interested in learning more about the mess we're in, including when, in reality, and under whose leadership the 8.3 million jobs disappeared from the American economy. Most disenfranchised, ready and able workers, like shocking numbers of their recently college educated counterparts, know all too well when the workforce collapse began and reached avalanche level devastation. Of course, the Obama regime, along with the next round of emotionally-fired-up young adults whose real world experience is lacking, seem ready, even thrilled to show they've heard and internalized the Administration's strategic talking points. Never mind that they're routinely devoid of support, all they need do is argue that points counter to what they claim had to have come from Rush or Faux News, since it doesn't fall in line with the rest of the national media, who seem remarkably okay with serving as partners in support of the President.

The timing of when the economy and jobs went south is well-documented with the Department of Labor's only real nationwide employment counts, which have been kept for years by the Employment & Training Administration (ETA). I'll post some of the key data along with a couple of graphs, because some progressive posters love to contribute nonsensical and fabricated material in visual form, which they like to think gives impact. The right-hand column shows the change in employment numbers under Presidents Bush and Obama, and the key point is that George Bush presided over real growth of 7,043,293 jobs according to the ETA's nationwide counts from employers' payroll records, while Obama remains in the red, down 3,189,734 on job counts since he took Office. At least he's come back more than halfway from the deplorable 8.3 million jobs lost during 2009 and 2010, but the latest counts have deteriorated and are nowhere near the 220,000 monthly needed to employ hopeful new entrants to the job market from our own college, high school and trade school graduates, LPR' granted green cards, H-1B's, refugees and asylees, and the always increasing mostly Mexican National illegal alien population. The final six months of 2013 showed just 301,000 jobs added to the economy according to the BLS' Employment Situation Report released on Friday. That suggests an ugly 50,000 monthly increase in jobs, which means fewer than half of college graduates have any basis to think they'll gain employment. In all likelihood, even fewer of the 111 million who've lost jobs under Obama, along with millions who've been relegated to the unprecedented 91,808,000 Not in Labor Force count, feel anything close to optimism about reemployment in an economy liberals insist is great. At least the President said so repeatedly in December.
Maybe some real employment data from the Department of Labor’s ETA division might disabuse a few sycophants of such foolishness. Otherwise, there may be a few open-minded readers willing to learn more about this topic who've made it through to this point. The chart and graphs offer a stunning illustration of when and under whose authority the job market tanked to a level some experts have argued has been more depression than recession.
Keep up the great work, Home-Schooling. You've shown yourself bright and capable, and along with offering insight your peers would do well to heed, your writing skills appear to have improved since we've been contacts. That's at least part of what I'm on here for, myself. But it's hard not to bristle over foolishness and seemingly intentional attempts at deception, which is something I'm willing to address with what might read like mini-lessons on occasion
