Four Years of Obama Undoes Eight Years of Reagan Tommy De Seno · 22 hours ago Wow this graph really says it all. The Labor Force Participation Rate shows what percentage of people are working, looking for a job and not looking for a job. It is a better yardstick to measure the workforce in America than is the usually cited "unemployment rate" which doesn't count people who are so frustrated they stopped looking for a job. The graph shows a huge upswing in labor participation through the Reagan years. George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush kept the numbers up in Reagan territory. Since Obama has taken over, he has wiped out the entirety of the Reagan gains. Hat tip to www.ZeroHedge.com for the graph. They also have an excellent piece on why the unemployment rate right now is really 11.6%, not the 8.1% the administration is claiming. Read it here.

kenracist..."lorne, your lies about Obama's birthplace are not believed by over 99% so you are truly one of the 1%."... Hey dumd ass, show me where I lied about your dear leaders birthplace. And don't include articles that I may have posted written by someone else that questions your dear commie leaders birthplace.? And the 1% are supposed to be wealthy persons...trust me dumb ass, I'm not wealthy and if I were wealthy I sure would not want to share any earned gains with mob scum that attack White people.

Hillary’s Team Has Questions About Obama’s Muslim Background Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage? This is the question Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama. An investigation of Mr. Obama by political opponents within the Democratic Party has discovered that Mr. Obama was raised as a Muslim by his stepfather in Indonesia. Sources close to the background check, which has not yet been released, said Mr. Obama, 45, spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia. “He was a Muslim, but he concealed it,” the source said. “His opponents within the Democrats hope this will become a major issue in the campaign.” When contacted by Insight, Mr. Obama’s press secretary said he would consult with “his boss” and call back. He did not. Sources said the background check, conducted by researchers connected to Senator Clinton, disclosed details of Mr. Obama’s Muslim past. The sources said the Clinton camp concluded the Illinois Democrat concealed his prior Muslim faith and education. “The background investigation will provide major ammunition to his opponents,” the source said. “The idea is to show Obama as deceptive.” In two best-selling autobiographies-”The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream” and “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance”-Mr. Obama, born in Honolulu where his parents met, mentions but does not expand on his Muslim background, alluding only to his attendance at a “predominantly Muslim school.” The sources said the young Obama was given the name Hussein by his Muslim father, which the Illinois Democrat rarely uses in public. His father was black and came from Kenya. Mr. Obama’s mother, the daughter of a farmer, came from Wichita, Kansas. Mr. Obama’s parents divorced when he was two years old. His father returned to Kenya. Later, Mr. Obama’s mother married an Indonesian student and the family moved to Jakarta. . . The sources said the background check concerned Mr. Obama’s years in Jakarta. In Indonesia, the young Obama was enrolled in a Madrassa and was raised and educated as a Muslim. Although Indonesia is regarded as a moderate Muslim state, the U.S. intelligence community has determined that today most of these schools are financed by the Saudi Arabian government and they teach a Wahhabi doctrine that denies the rights of non-Muslims Although the background check has not confirmed that the specific Madrassa Mr. Obama attended was espousing Wahhabism, the sources said his Democratic opponents believe this to be the case‚Äîand are seeking to prove it. The sources said the opponents are searching for evidence that Mr. Obama is still a Muslim or has ties to Islam. Mr. Obama attends services at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago’s South Side. However, he is not known to be a regular parishioner. “Obama’s education began a life-long relationship with Islam as a faith and Muslims as a community,” the source said. “This has been a relationship that contains numerous question marks.” The sources said Mr. Obama spent at least four years in a Muslim school in Indonesia. They said when Mr. Obama was 10, his mother and her second husband separated. She and her son returned to Hawaii. “Then the official biography begins,” the source said. Barack Obama very conspicuously omits these important facts. He’s never directly addressed them and didn’t return the Insight Magazine’s reporters queries about his Muslim background. Why? Why can’t he acknowledge his Muslim background and disavow it? Don’t watch for him ever to do that. And that’s why it’s suspicious. The facts about Obama’s Muslim background raise a LOT of questions. Legitimate questions about a religion dominated by extremist strains that openly call for the destruction of America and the West. Anyone who does not want to look into the questions and, instead, attacks those who ask them, is equally suspect in their intentions and attitudes toward the continued freedom of this country. debbieschlussel.com
