Forbes Magazine: Obama "best economic president of the modern era"

Obama Outperforms Reagan On Jobs, Growth And Investing

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) today issued America’s latest jobs report covering August. And it’s a disappointment. The economy created an additional 142,000 jobs last month. After six consecutive months over 200,000, most pundits expected the string to continue, including ADP which just yesterday said 204,000 jobs were created in August.

One month variation does not change a trend

Even though the plus-200,000 monthly string was broken (unless revised upward at a future date,) unemployment did continue to decline and is now reported at only 6.1%. Jobless claims were just over 300,000; lowest since 2007. Despite the lower than expected August jobs number, America will create about 2.5 million new jobs in 2014.

This is the best private sector jobs creation performance in American history

1. And this was with the American Jihad Party

variously holding a knife to the economy and a boot on Obama's ability to govern.

[HipChick]

2. Good point!

[flamingdem]

3. It's a miracle considering they tried to destroy the government and that cost 4 BILLION

Just think of what could have been. The repukes knew if they supported Obama they'd be toast for decades because of what he could accomplish and all the new dem voters via immigration reform, etc.

[Fred Sanders]

14. The American Crusader Party. To be more accurate.

[Cha]

16. Exactly, flamingdem!

Imagine what it could have been like!

[Cad Bane]

4. This will get precisely ZERO (positive) media coverage

If it's covered at all it will be 100% negative media spin by the GOP (and even most left wing blogs)

Also President Obama played basketball yesterday and watched a movie with his daughters so he doesn't deserve any credit.

[Fred Sanders]

6. The mass media is all too clearly revealing their hidden agenda of promoting fascism...will enough

voting type folks take notice before November?

[IkeRepublican]

12. Shit no

The media's marinating everybody in how terrible Obama is and it's going to undoubtedly deflate many necessary independents who will stay home because they'd rather do that than pull the lever for a Repuke.

[Fred Sanders]

13. Mandatory registration and voting laws would get their inattentive asses off the couch.

[riqster]

18. S'truth.

[Fred Sanders]

5. Holy crap, someone in the media can see facts and read a graph and was given ink to say truth.

[gratuitous]

7. And yet . . .

Obama's vilified as some kind of communist by the financial community (who all have their high-paying phony baloney jobs wrecking the economy), while he's lionized by people who still can't find suitable work and whose income has continued its 30 year slide under the benevolent ministrations of supply side (voodoo) economics.

[eridani]

8. Yes, but mostly for the 1%

Just like Reagan, as the graph illustrates.

[Doctor_J]

9. For the people who read Forbes, without a doubt

Since that was the plan all along, you could consider him a success.

[Quixote1818]

11. Bingo! nt

[rickyhall]

10. I'd like to see the Clinton record and W. Bush's in this comparison, too.

15. Thanks HipChick. a sweet tweet and Graphic denoting it..

20. Great!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. Republicans will claim they could do better....

....because their white guy doesn't have cooties.

[EEO]

19. Reagan smash...

[Number23]

21. Recing for Brentspeak!

And The Usuals doing cartwheels of glee in that other thread
