Jobs, Where are they?

They've passed great legislation and sent it to Harry Reid where he will not bring it up or the dems voted it down....
you do understand how the government works dont ya. The house isnt the only branch of gov't.
But, when you control both houses(with super majority numbers) you can pass anything you want) Barry has no excuses, except the fact he is a failure of epic proportions

can you explain how the "dems" voted it down when they dont have a controlling number in the house?

dumb dumb(again) the house, controlled by the reps, sends legislation to the Dem controlled senate where it sits and never is brought up or voted down

and youll bring this up but not bring up all the legislation the repubs have shot down in the house this entire term? This has been the worst congress in the history of congress.....you cant point at one side.

How can you blame one side over the other?

The congress as a whole is fucked until they decide to to start working together

have you read the proposed budgets? lol theyre a joke and always have some attached BS attached to it that has nothing to do with budgets. Its a game for the republicans who want to pass absolutely nothing on Obamas watch. theyre doing a great job of doing nothing...
 
again....id hate to point at facts when arguing with Obama haters but i think its 26 out of 32 months now with job growth. I think Bush had 6....total lol.
 
I read an interesting tidbit today, in Bush's 1st term he lost 913,000 private sector jobs, that horrible record was made to look better by drastically increasing the size of Government by adding 900,000 government jobs.

Despite losing millions of private sector jobs in the 1st half of 2009 before he could even get unpacked in the Oval Office, Barack Obama has added 35,000 private sector jobs. Of course this looks worse because he did it while shrinking the government by 607,000 jobs.

Obama has us on the right track, smaller government and more private sector jobs, he's done this despite the 1st half of 2009 where millions o jobs were lost.

Where did you read that? It looks false. http://www.opm.gov/feddata/HistoricalTables/TotalGovernmentSince1962.asp
 
...and as a chart. Y-axis units are thousands of employees.
