Presidential job creation comparisons at Political Math (vis AOSHQ).
The Obamaites love to talk about 20 some odd months of “positive job growth” while never recognizing that they:
- Never reach the replacement rate for the economy and as a result,
- The only reason that the aggregate unemployment rate has fallen at all is that people are leaving the workforce in droves.
- Aren’t the only administration since 1948 that had to deal with a recession.
I wasn’t aware of the “Table A” vs “Table B” sleight of hand trick that Ace talks about but I would have expected nothing less from our “unbiased” media.
Mr. Kells had to explain for me how this chart works. It’s kind of confusing. Too bad the explanation box is at the bottom in its own little box. I’m still trying to figure out how many 0.1 million equals…..
That 0.1 million equals 100.000. Looking at these numbers is yet another reminder of how amazingit is that the Republicans managed to come up with a candidate and a campaign that will lose to this guy. Maybe we should have another HJouse vote on Obamacare or get Donald Trump to fly Mitt’s horse back from the Olympics.
He wasn’t my choice, but they seem to be neck and neck. I’m curious as to why you feel so positive on an Obama win.
“why you feel so positive on an Obama win”
Because despite the fact that the media keep acting as if it’s close, Romney has been consistently behind in the polls. More importantly, he has been behind in the swing states that will decide the election, and Obama needs to win fewer of those than Romney does to win the election.
As I wrote in my most recent post: “All in all, Romney’s chances of winning the presidency still appear only slightly better than Rafalca’s chances of winning Olympic gold. In platform diving.”
With three months to go, and most Americans paying little attention before Labor Day, things could change in Romney’s favor–but I don’t see Romney doing anything to convince me he’s any more capable of a comeback win than McCain was. I did a post on my site explaining my take on it back in May, and another one a couple of days ago. But since the guys seemingly won’t let me link to my own posts, I’ll refer you to this one instead: http://www.polltrack.com/presidential
By the way, Utah obviously disagrees with me and perhaps he has some insight I don’t. You can see his prediction (and my response to it) here: http://therionorteline.com/2012/07/13/the-seinfeld-president/
