I consider ObamaCare already gone. The SCOTUS will save us.

Or are we just supposed to believe all of you when you say "no he didn't"????
First, Pelosi carefully cited private-sector employment, not total employment. There's a valid reason to focus on private-sector jobs rather than government jobs, since private-sector jobs produce income-boosting goods and services to a degree that government jobs do not. Still, choosing private-sector jobs helps Pelosi's case in a crucial way: If she'd chosen total employment instead, her formulation would have been wrong.
Total employment -- that is, the combination of private- and public-sector jobs -- during Bush's tenure increased by 1.08 million, while total employment in 2010 has increased by 599,000. (Quick aside: Who would have thought that federal and state government jobs would have increased by 1.7 million in eight years under Bush and fallen by 357,000 since President Barack Obama took office?)
Second, Pelosi chose her start and end dates in a way that's highly favorable to Obama and unfavorable to Bush.
If she'd instead chosen to start from the beginning of Obama's term -- rather than half way through his first two years -- she would be stuck with a net loss of nearly 3 million private-sector jobs, not the increase of 847,000 she came up with for 2010. Pelosi essentially started counting from the low point for jobs and only counted the upward part of the trendline.
Meanwhile, the start and end points she used for Bush give the former president no such break. The jobs picture under Bush looked like an arc, heading generally upward through mid 2007 before heading downward again. If she had used only the upward portion of the arc, as she did for Obama, it would have showed a gain of 3.9 million private-sector jobs.

Obamas a socialist crook and has helped perpetuate the continued fleecing of the American tax payer, if anything hes ever done for the US is to bring everyone together for a final showdown with washington to put an end to their corruption

People believe what they want to believe ................ the facts speak for themselves.
My guess is if President Obama is not very careful he will go the way of JFK...............He is no man's puppet.
Saddled with a Congress that is a pretend Democrat but really a southern (what else) republican.
The trickle down theory does not work..............we really need to find a totally new way.
Obama is trying, from all my research and I spend hours upon hours of research, is trying to skirt around the irons tied around his ankles by a Congress that is really Republican.
Simply do the research vs. mouthing off.

Hello.................The policies of a president are usually not felt until 8 years later.........look to Bush Jr.
My guess is you are a die hard Republican right?
Obamaa has done more in 4 years than Bush Jr in eight for the common man.
Simply do the research.
