I wouldn't be to sure about your incorrect conclusion, you desperate troll: (As I said earlier, TROLL, it might be time for you to turn hysterical again.............) The Obama Poll Drop Mystery: Explained! Here’s one possible explanation: the Friday jobs report. The jobs report reflected good news, of course. But this may actually be the problem for Obama. A Democracy Corps survey from last month tested elements of Obama’s State of the Union address. The whole thing fared extremely well, except for one bit, where Obama boasted that “America is back.” Democracy Corps found: Claiming that “America is back” is by far the weakest operative message and produces disastrous results. It is weaker than even the weakest Republican message and is 10 points weaker in intensity than either Republican message. Overall, less than a third of all voters said this message makes them more likely to support the President and a third said this message made them less likely to support Barack Obama. Alarmingly, this message barely receives majority support among self-identified Democrats — and even less support among all other groups. Less than a quarter of independents say this message would make them more likely to support the President and no independents said that it would make them much more likely to support him. Respondents, according to the survey, still felt enormous economic pain and insecurity, and interpreted any positive statements as a sign of complacency and detachment. nymag.com

I guess after viewing that video you have seen the light. Amazing how it gets funnier, yet hilarious from the very beginning. 1. People have to recognize it as the Truth. 2. From Obama's own mouth. 3. After being amazed it just continues. Laugh upon laugh. What do you think about it Kenneth? iowntheworld.com

Every month brings improved job news Pure media spin. When people give up looking for work, they no longer count as unemployed. Look at employment statistics rather than unemployment rates. From data.bls.gov Total nonfarm employment in thousands Feb 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 132693 135413 137211 137939 132837 129244 130676 132697 In spite of the working age population increasing every year all of Obama's first 3 years have fewer jobs than any of Bush's last 4.

“What we need is not more rhetoric that divides us, we need this administration to act in the best interests of this country and create more jobs by lessening all this talk about taxes, decreasing regulations and having some kind of fiscal discipline.” She attacked President Barack Obama’s policies, saying the current administration looks to Europe as the model for the American economy. “We used to make fun of Europe because their unemployment rate was well in excess of 8 percent. Well, here we are today. “Europe is not the model. We are now in a globalized economy and we’ve got to learn how to compete and we have to protect our own people.” Figures out on Friday showed that the unemployment rate had fallen to 8.3 percent from 8.5 percent in January. But the “real unemployment” rate – which includes those who have become so discouraged they are no longer actively seeking work and part-time workers who would like full-time employment is still above 15 percent. The figures also showed that a whopping 1.2 million people had dropped out of the workforce in one month, leaving the active labor force at 63.7 percent of the population, the lowest in 30 years. When Obama came into power that figure stood at 66.2 percent, figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show. Chao said the president has to spend more energy on job creation and less on class warfare. “It’s really unfortunate that amid all of our economic woes that the president doesn’t tackle the real reason why there is no job creation. “The problem with this economy is that we are not creating jobs,” she added. “And we are not creating jobs because employers don’t have the confidence that this administration will understand what it takes to create jobs. “Taxes are too high, there are too many regulations and we’re spending beyond our means. That is putting a dampening effect on job creation.” She said too many laws and regulations are contradictory, confusing and add an extra, unnecessary level of bureaucracy to too many companies. Chao claimed the real unemployment rate is now nearly 16 percent when those who have given up looking for work and part-time workers who want a full-time job are taken into account. “We don’t need more laws or regulations. We need to enforce those that are on the books. “To spark job creation we’ve got to get rid of all this regulatory burden on employers. Regulations are a form of tax on the employer. newsmax.com
