There were FEWER private sector jobs when Bush left office than when he took office. <br /><br />By those standards, Obama has already passed up Bush. There are 967,000 more private jobs now than there were when Obama took office.Middle Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441441493867436577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912833783359356343.post-23592652556961830112012-10-16T14:17:31.055-05:002012-10-16T14:17:31.055-05:00Nothing here that a course for you in reading comp...Nothing here that a course for you in reading comprehension won't fix. First of all, in very big letters right near the top of this article it says: <br /><br />"The numbers in this article are jobs numbers as of June 2011, a year ago. For the latest numbers & reports, please click on one of the links above or below."<br /><br />And you will not find one reference here (or in any of the articles on my blog) to anything anybody, including Nancy Pelosi, said about jobs numbers. All of my data comes from the BLS tables as copied to my own spreadsheets. It makes no sense to compare the Bush record at the end of his 8 years with Obama's record now or in any one or two years. If you are going to compare Bush and Obama, there are only two ways to do this: Either from the start of their respective administrations to the same month (September 2012 for Obama, September 2004 for Bush) OR from the start of recovery of their respective administrations to the same number of months AFTER recovery started. <br /><br />So you too (and all of the Republicans) actually liked Obama so much that you thought he would IMMEDIATELY stem the tide of 800,000 jobs lost per month and start adding jobs? Do you think that McCain and the despicable P woman would also have immediately stemmed the tide of job loss and started adding jobs?<br /><br />You are complaining about the way Pelosi compares Obama and Bush, which is bogus, and then you make another bogus comparison between Obama and Bush.Middle Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441441493867436577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912833783359356343.post-17909587055821061122012-10-16T06:32:08.285-05:002012-10-16T06:32:08.285-05:00obviously biased here at mollys...
From politifact...obviously biased here at mollys...<br />From politifact:<br />During a May 16, 2011, interview with Bloomberg television, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., praised President Barack Obama’s record on jobs while taking a shot at former President George W. Bush.<br /><br /> "We got in this situation where we had tax cuts for the wealthiest people in our country, which did not create jobs," she said. "In the first year of the Obama administration, more jobs were created in the private-sector than in the eight years of the Bush administration, with all of the tax cuts that President Bush had."<br /><br /> According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the economy shed almost 4.2 million private-sector jobs during the first year of the Obama administration -- January 2009 through January 2010.<br /><br /> Meanwhile, during eight years under Bush, the economy gained a net 188,000 private sector jobs.<br /><br /> So while job growth under Bush was anemic by historical standards, it was still better than the 4.2 million jobs lost under Obama. That means Pelosi was wrong.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912833783359356343.post-21471865906681324202011-07-27T10:30:27.614-05:002011-07-27T10:30:27.614-05:00It is very hard to see jobs gained.Here in oklahom...It is very hard to see jobs gained.Here in oklahoma we've had manufacturings closings loss of a lot of jobs.Where are the jobs due from NAFTA thats what I would to know.All jobs goes to Mexico.Where are are our jobs in return?Oh I know they come back in cheap jobs and cheap ptoducts made from slave labor.Our goverment knows this is wrong!<br />Also where are our jobs from China?They send one of the largest ships to our port full and goes back empty.The govement knows they send us contaminated products.<br />Whats bad the American people do not really know to what extent our losses are.If really explained to a lot more would more would really be upset.The ones that really know is our selfish CEOs of ocompanys.They know well and our goverment is letting them get away with it.ok.galnoreply@blogger.com
