Transcript:
Obama promises to replace every job lost since 2008. That's about 13,000,000. Obama would have to create 650,000 new jobs every month. (Man: Obama has 2 years left in his term. 13,000,000 divided by 24= 542,000. Add 10,000 because we need 100,000 new jobs to match population growth.) Which has never happened once in history. No month has come close. (Barack Obama: You gotta believe! Don't be a muggle!) Where does he think those new jobs will come from? (Barack Obama: China!) (Woman: Tough commute...)

Obaama has said over and over that we’re on the right track. A train can be on the right track, but if it’s not moving it won’t go anywhere.

Then again, more jobs have been created since Obama became President than in 8 years under Bush. Which, by the way, includes the year 2008.

Actually that’s far from true. BUt I guess if you want to omit jobs lost and only count them when they are regained, you can claim anything.

Want job creation? Stop the sophmoric way our politicians approach their “jobs.”

Wall Street gets urgent attention, even though their profits & bonuses are rising faster than ever. But they PROMISE to get around to the emergency of the dwindling job market sometime or other.

One of these days maybe…a few more will realize that our president is either a strict adherent to the ‘Chicago School of Business’ economic model, or he is a bought and paid for representative of it. In two years he has never once done anything that WallSt bankers, or mega-corps have not asked for.

This administration is about cronyism and destabilising the foundations that make our country great.

Maybe getting rid of some of the CEOs that make 550 times what the “average” (union) worker earns, and put the money out on the production line, in the United States, instead??

So the socialist Obama is a pawn of Wall Street?

Actually the Obama Presidency took place January 2009. They share split responsibility for the budget 2008 - 2009, but his policies did not go into effect until later in 2009.
