Voted. It’s at 74.7% “Yes, he can”. That should be closer to 99.99%.

0bama’s ASSAULT ON THE PRIVATE SECTOR has destroyed employment. But then again, he’s doing what’s necessary to build his Dictatorial regime of gov’t thugs and the enslaved.

Sure. He decided when the Senate was in recess. He determined when the seas should fall. He rules over the Pope.

Change the unemployment rate? Of course!

Yes. He can increase it with noxious laws.
Otherwise, he can only get out of the way of job creators.
