500k jobs a month? Maybe if corporate raiders like Bain Capital were finally put out of business.
I think his words were"Arbeit macht frei."

Too bad it's not really 8.1. More like 11% And g0d only knows what the underemployment numbers are.

friend works for Peabody Coal here in St. Louis. he says the crazy low price of natural gas has been the biggest detractor to the coal industry of late.

President Obama wrote:So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.
Yep. Natural gas. No hostile threat to industry here, folks. Please move along.

Funny, I missed your link to Obama's solution.
Or is his "laser-beam focus" supposed to make everybody feel better? Somehow, I think his plan to "tax the rich" to pay their "fair share" falls somewhat short of a plan to put America back to work.
Do you really want to debate President Obama's record? You got nothin' B. Now tell us how mean the GOPhers are to women...

Tru,
You get around to defending Romney and I'll answer your questions. Until then, die in an AIDS related steam bath accident.

No you won’t.
We’ll see you Norwood the kickstand of the uprights on their way to the 35, before scooting them over and planting them firmly at the 50. And you’ll hang thirty acres of scarecrows before you’ll ever get around to addressing my question. Sad thing is…
You can’t answer my question.
Obama is Carter dark, and you can’t point to a single thing he’s accomplished…
Your president is an unmitigated failure.
Defend Romney?
Easily.
He isn’t Obama.
Die in an Ebola-filled Super-Soaker facial.

bin laden is dead because it was just a matter of time before he was hunted down. are you implying that barry somehow guided the tactics to accomplish this?
GM and Chrysler alive- yup, he bailed them out and shit all over bond holder by completely ignoring bankruptcy laws which are designed to handle these situations. both companies would be alive today, regardless as they both have model lines with value. their bailout was as big a joke as the financial sector bailouts.
unemployment failing? really? it's falling because people are dropping out of the official "looking for work" category.
healthcare reform passed- we'll see what the scotus has to say about that.
the bottom line is we still have a very sick economy, no real employment recovery and another 6 trillion dollars our kids will have to cough up/default on.
