Answer by Misha
Bush created 7 million jobs which was astonishing since unemployment was at 4.5% already. It would have been 20 million jobs in this 10% environment!

Bush’s………….Obama has spent like a drunken sailor causing our economy to spiral down.
You can not spend your way out of debt.
Bush’s jobless recovery started from a stronger economic base. President Obama’s recovery started from the worst recession since the Great Depression. We have never seen anything like the economic crash of 2008 for over 70 years. The situations are hardly comparable.

Paul Krugman socialist extraordinaire stated this was a “jobless recovery”
We had full employment under President Bush–it averaged 5.2%.
Bush never had a ‘jobless’ time. So far the current guy does not seem to have any recovery.
I would like to commend you on your fine usage of quote marks. Well done. . .. . . .
Oh. . and we are definitely not in a recovery. Have you been to Walmart lately? That’s all it takes to know the real story. . .
I don’t notice much difference… seems like companies at both times were telling us “times are tough, can’t give you raises this year”…
but overall though, Bush took a great economy and ran it into the ground… he INHERITED a really low unemployment rate and it just got worse and worse…
Obama has a job recovery because we went from LOSING 800,000 jobs a month, HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET to an addition of about 150,000 jobs per month. According to my calculation that swings the Pendulum from the Bush debacle 950,000 jobs per month.
DO YOU GET THE POINT
IT IS COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES
Bush took great job growth and ruined it so he went from good to bad
Obama took massive job loss and increased jobs…Bad to good.
Now, it is not yet recovered, due to inaction in the senate on the 400 bills the house passed, but if all the legislative efforts Pelosi, Reed and Obama had been passed we would have a recovery but now we have a breakdown in the senate because frankly a bunch of SOUTHERN MOSTLY and may I ad very racially driven senators are using a previously almost never used rule the fillibuster to destroy the senate and american democracy.
Those are the facts.
That is the point.
That is the truth.
