It’s the truth. 0bama makes Vince of Sham Wow fame look sincere and credible. How anyone can take him seriously is just amazing.

Obama takes credit for a growing economy, but if the economy is finally growing — and the evidence is mixed — it's been a long time coming. His vaunted middle-class policies are not helping the middle class, which has suffered under his presidency. He has presided over the slowest recovery in 50 years. Plus, workers at the lower end of the pay scale have seen their average weekly hours dropping significantly — as opposed to higher-paid workers. Though he cites decreasing unemployment, he omits that most of the job gains are among part-time workers and that the unemployment numbers are further misleading because they ignore the enormous number of people who have quit the workforce altogether. The labor participation rate is at its lowest point in decades, and only a quarter of this can be attributed to a change in demographics.

It's said that no American should be stuck in an entry level minimum wage job.. but for Obama that's the target level for the masses.

Here's some official stats that confirm what Mr. Limbaugh, et al say.

Labor Force Statistics from the Census Bureau Current Population Survey (CPS) and other federal sources. Comparing Obama to other administrations.

The data are annualized except when noted otherwise. All are monthly or quarterly. I use the last month / quarter of the year.

Much of the size of this is taken up by instructions on how to get the sources of the data and much, much more data!

The numbered column headings are for:

  1. Population (omitted)
  2. Civilian noninstitutional population [thousands]
  3. Civilian labor force [thousands]. If omitted hover Col 4. to access
  4. Civilian labor force participation rate
  5. Employed [thousands]
  6. Employment-population ratio
  7. Employed full time (persons who usually work 35 hours or more) [thousands]
  8. Employed part time (persons who usually work less than 35 hours [thousands]. If omitted hover Col 7. to access
  9. Unemployed [thousands]
  10. Unemployed looking for full-time work [thousands]
  11. Unemployment rate
  12. Unemployment rate of the full-time labor force
  13. Not in labor force [thousands]

Taking into account the year preceding the Obama administration, here is the first six years of the administration using these spread sheet formulas to compute %'s:
(2014 value - 2008 value) / 2008 value

I get

*If you take into account the 2007 number of Employed full time 121621 [thousands] Obama's number would be negative. About all that happened is despite Obama most of the jobs lost in the first few years of his admnistration while he concentrated on destroying our healthcare system were recovered by the end of 2014.

Gee. How come Obama had such big decreases in (Col 9.) Unemployed and (Col 10) Unemployed looking for full-time work? Guess.

Col 11 and Col 12 are the (phony?) Unemployment rate and Unemployment rate of the full-time labor force, respectively. See table for President Obama's disasters in these categories:

I've combined several tables into one. Most of the tables were obtained here: go to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Labor Force Statisics from the Current Population Survey (CPS). Make your selections. I chose quarterly data.

I took the fourth quarter data from each table and combined them into the main part of the table above. For the year 2014 I took the third quarter data.

Obama is caught in the “all good Scotsmen fallacy”

All good Americans agree with Obama.

JimSEA doesn’t agree with Obama.

JimSEA isn’t a good American.

To: jazusamo; All

Limbaugh has got it just half right. What was worse than that Obama 2015 STOU. Was the direction taken by the GOPES .Not one of those half dozen so called rebuttals made after the speech by the “Republicans” dealt with, nor dared to, itemize or even chatacterize those statements as lies. And it as appears those MSM hailed replys went uncriticiized here in FR in too many postings.

The GOPES leadership (gop elite statists) learned nothing from 2012.They still seek approval from the media propaganda appar-rats which whey will never get. Believe winning political opposition strategy consists of their approach which is the use of “stand for status quo” “we can fix the bad stuff” with republican cum-by ya” will win in 2016. And not the defence of the constitution or of conservative values.

Do the GOPES actually believe they can attract disaffected dems and together we can continue on with big government merry way happily feeding off the government trough with a new UNI Party ? It seems that this is the direction they’re taking.

When what they should begin by asking the question why does the democrat (In name only, and GOPES fail to use many eamples to point that out) lie so much ? Is because they don’t believe in there is such a thing as sin because they can’t refer to God which they threw out in their 2012 convention. Hence any reference to the constitution which has that refence to HIM all over the place. Because it doesn’t fit their socialist collective agenda let alone be restricted and rule by such a constitution which references The Creator.
