Obama's Mission Accomplished moment came when he declared a recovery.

-Full time jobs have been lost for 5 months straight now and we have lost full time jobs since Obama declared a recovery.

-Hours worked by Americans have dipped - About 24 Million less hours per week from the previous report. And this number has fallen since Obama declared recovery.

-The Employment Rate has fallen to its worst level since 1979. And this number has fallen since Obama declared recovery.

-The Employment Rate for Americans aged 25 to 54 has fallen to its worst level since 1984. And this number has fallen since Obama declared recovery.

-The average income per household has fallen. And this number has fallen since Obama declared recovery.

-The Fed is creating $3,000,000,000.00 a day to artificially keep interest rates low - so far it has helped the stock market - this is not a long term solution and will have to stop at some point before it causes long term damage.

-The government will spend more in 2013 than 2012 despite the sequester.

-Food Stamps up 70% since 2008 to 48 Million. And this number has gotten worse by over 10 Million since Obama declared recovery.

-Highest percentage of people living in poverty in over 50 years. And this number has gotten worse since Obama declared recovery.



But hey, the media are celebrating Obama for the numbers!

Obamacare is distorting the full time employment field already.

0bama's policies are killing this economy, even 0bamaCare, his signature legislation is turning full-time jobs into part time jobs.

Anyone who supports 0bama's policies is a freaking moron. He will go down in history as the worst US president of all time. Entire "What not to do" chapters in future college books will be dedicated to his many failures.

Yeah, and Romney will win also.

I'm pretty certain that's what you were telling us not too long ago.

Lest we all be reminded about how bad the economy really is. And the media continues to hide this, but it's the hard truth.

U-6 Unemployment is at 13.9% | Lubbock Online | Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Too much food stamps, and way too many people out of work, for one reason or another. It's totally unacceptable. And, yet, President Food Stamps calls it a "recovery".

It's not that i really liked Romney, I just could not imagine 0bama winning, but we have millions more ignorant, democratic-party-voting-morons then I ever thought possible.

0bama did not give them what they thought he would, when they elected him in 2008, in fact he gave us the complete opposite. Never in my dreams would I think so many people were ignorant enough to reelect him. So here we are, and 0bama is not going to deliver this time around, what his moronic voters thought he would either.

Obama declaring "Economic Recovery" is like Bush declaring "Mission Accomplished". Unfortunately, hardly anyone will call Booboo on his mistakes. The MSM in particular helps cover for his disastrous performance on employement.

This economy is sooooo bad, even the U6 cannot reflect how bad it is. The U6 uses the labor force numbers to make it's commutations, but under 0bama, the labor force has shrunk to 40 year lows. Some months we have more people leaving the labor force then we have entering it, and that's even with senior citizens continuing to work past 65. The people leaving the labor force for SSDI are going thru the roof.
