You're right. In eight years he did destroy the American dream. Ergo, we're right where we were, except in recession, as when he took office. Now that's something to really be proud about!  |

You're making assumptions that don't have any foundation. Your assumption is that the jobs level is indicative of how bad the Obama Administration is handling things. In reality, that's not a true indicator of what's been done, and you should understand it. If you don't, you're arguing about something you aren't versed in.
If I was to give your statement a slant to the left, I'd say that the Obama Administration's programs to save this nation has raised the new employment levels to where they were before Bush took office, and destroyed the economy. Thank you Mr. Obama for getting us back to the level we were before Bush took office! Now, it's onward and upward, with solid new leadership, and guidelines for a prosperous future.
But it's too early for me to make that statement, and it's too late for you to be concerned about the job levels eight years ago, especially since the Bush era only created jobs spending taxpayer money for ineptness.

Of course it doesn't have any foundation. I am making crap up, but Obama's policies aren't doing what his cracked crystal ball predicted and he doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

Obama meets top Democrats for jobs summitWASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama held talks Wednesday with top Democrats in Congress to underscore the urgency of job creation, a week after the unemployment rate hit a 26-year high of 9.8 percent. The administration and Democratic leaders are reportedly considering a range of measures, including giving employers a tax credit for creating new positions, as fears mount of a "jobless recovery" when growth resumes.Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House of Representatives, said the meeting in the Oval Office was dedicated to seeking ways to promote job growth amid the deepest recession for generations. "Today's meeting with the president reinforces our shared commitment to creating more jobs and providing relief to the millions of Americans who are out of work," Reid said in a statement. "We also need to think about creative, innovative ways to encourage businesses to create new jobs and we're committed to working with the president to do that." Pelosi said the meeting was a sign the US government was united in the goal of getting Americans back to work. "Congress stands ready to partner with the White House to keep our economy moving in the right direction and lay the foundation for growth long into the future," Pelosi said. A senior Obama aide said the meeting focused on the "success" of Obama's 787 billion dollar economic stimulus program, which the administration says has staved off even worse carnage on the jobs market. The official said the talks also considered the possibility of extending unemployment benefit programs which will soon expire and "the many ways that we can work together to continue to save and create jobs in the future." White House spokesman Robert Gibbs however declined to go into detail about the tax credits proposal, or other measures that the administration was considering to fire up job creation. In a blow to hopes of imminent recovery, new Labor Department figures last Friday showed job losses accelerated to 263,000 in September, pushing the unemployment rate to a new 26-year high of 9.8 percent. In a first reaction, Obama called the jobs report "sobering" and a sign that the economic recovery expected to begin in the last quarter of this year would need to be ground out step by step. In his weekly radio and online address on Saturday, the president said he was working closely with his economic team to "explore additional options to promote job creation."
"I won?t let up until those who seek jobs can find them," he said.www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h5AcBwqMYJ0ng1gnOFCiISfOVx7A
