(11,555 posts)If a person has run out of unemployment I am sure that they want just about any job they can get. The president, and the democrats, want to raise the national minimum wage, is that so bad? My nephew just went back to work as and equipment operator for $35.00 an hour, not to bad if you ask me.
And who's fault is it that things are so bad? Seems like the last president, George W. Bush, made a hell of a mess out of this country. Took it to the eye of disaster, and then left that mess for president Obama to fix, and like or not, he has been fixing it. Sure it could be better, but with republicans in control of the house, fighting everything he wants to do, not passing any jobs bills, and doing their best to sell everything off to their rich donors, I think the president has done pretty damned good!
Now as for the "seeing it as it really is comment", thats fine, but if all people here can do is trash the president, say he is a total failure, just like Bush and Reagan, blame him for everything that is going wrong instead of admitting those nasty republicans have a lot to do with the problems, and NEVER have anything good to say, I still say they aren't very good democrats! When they spout right wing talking points, libertarian talking points or the Paulbot talking points, again, not very good democrats, liberals or progressives if you ask me!
