According to Obama, his controllers, and his propaganda team, mission accomplished! The BIG LIE working beyond expectations!

This recovery, if you call it that, with the trillion dollars spent and 1.3 million people droping out of the work force has yielded nothing but more taxes division between social economic's and a generation of young people thinking if they go back-to-school and get a masters degree that they'll be able to find a job, that is a lie. I have many friends who went back-to-school got the degrees can't find jobs. The best thing they can do is start a small business with there god given talent and passion. But this administration is not friendly toward small business. Its policies destroy the prospect of a small business being successful.

Curious, what % of the chronic unemployed are union members? I bet it's high. All payees are getting a nice chunk of change to do nothing, for what.. 3+ years? Is Treasury sure all payees are eligible? I know DC recently busted 50+ for drawing benefits while fully employed in high-paying gov't jobs. How many others nationwide may also be culpable? And, of course, the illegals are draining the myriad social services funds the quickest.. all of the above contributing to an unsustainable nat'l debt. We're going the way of Greece, folks, and that's not good.

Anything anyone from this current administration says is a lie. Anything at all. Use this precept to figure out HOW they're lying, and you may find the truth.

When Obama took us to "10%" Unemployment, it was the closest to the actual number: 15%.
15% unemployment is the best Obama can do for our country, yet MSNBC CNN ABC CBS and NBC celebrate him.
The day we don't have to lie about The GreatEST Depression in American history (Don't forget the downgrade), I will believe America is on the rebound..
We will need Conservative representatives, and likely a Republican president. It can bedone, with self control MORALS, and good work ethic.
Money laundering and stimulating just doesn't work. Just look at Greece...

FDR tried to revive the economy with massive governmant spending. Obama tried to revive the economy with massize government spending. Both had prolonged, high unemployment. Do you think maybe massive government spending doesn't work?

How could any sane person want to re-elect the great imposter, who is doing his best to destroy this great country. I do believe that little barry has serious mental issues.
