If so...Have you really looked at Romney's plan? If so, can you tell us how it differs from the plan of George Bush? And we all know how that wound up.<br /><br />Do you remember what was happening in January 2009.. or were you asleep in the cabbage patch back then? <br /><br />Look at that red line there.. a line that goes down, down, down. That was going on under Bush, and it started with the housing bust which happened in 2006. That stemmed from the uncontrolled financial shenanigans of Wall Street under the Bush years. Private jobs, as you should be able to easily see from the above graph, were dropping LIKE A STONE starting in January 2008. <br /><br />Now, did you really think that Obama would IMMEDIATELY start adding jobs when he took his first step into the Oval Office? Is that it? Are you disappointed because Obama does not walk on water and you expected him to? Is that what is troubling you?<br /><br />Or did you just not like the guy from the beginning? Did you actually think that McCain and the P woman would immediately do magic.. with an economy that was on the brink of a depression that was unlike any that we had seen for 80 years? <br /><br />Which is it: 1. You really liked Obama and thought he was a magic man. 2. You were sure that McCain and the despicable P woman would be able to turn things around so, so much better than any Democrat possibly could because you have been completely brainwashed to believe that Republican economic policies actually work? <br /><br />So.. which of the two?Middle Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441441493867436577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912833783359356343.post-83956104648886344452012-10-30T10:48:28.489-05:002012-10-30T10:48:28.489-05:00I don't understand why we are still talking ab...I don't understand why we are still talking about the Bush years when a new election is looming and a contender (Romney) has a plan that very well may make Obama'a job growth in the last 4 yrs. look sick. According to the above we have realized a paltry 0.9% increase in private sector jobs since 2008. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
