Obama in Afghanistan and all they can talk about is unemployment #'s. Now if it were Bush...

[live love laugh]

No...WHEN it was Bush, you never heard a peep about unemployment numbers, or worse yet massive job losses. The newsreaders say the Administration is "sickened" by the numbers. :eyes:

1. To be honest Bush may have caused the recession

but the unemployment was still under 8% when he left office, it has been running near 10% now for well over a year.

2. We were shedding 800,000 jobs a month during Bush's last months in office

By that point the full damage had been done and the employment rate continued to rise even after he left.

Bush was much more of a disaster than you're giving him credit for.

4. It seems to me Bush got plenty of blame. What was his poll

numbers when he left office like 26%? They lost the Presidency and huge numbers in the House in 2008. The American people have a short memory, the Democrats have been in power for two years and everything isn't straightened out yet so this year they had big losses. It looks like in 2012 there will be more loses and a Republican President unless things improve miraculously in the next couple years.
