Obama is now the greatest job creating president in US history he has a record 78 straight months of job growth. Some 15 million jobs since 2010 and stopped job loses in his first year of losing 850,000 jobs a month and unemployment rising to 10%. These are little known facts that the right wing fails to even talk about. The left has demolished every republican myth told about tax and spend democrats but have been exposed the right wing agenda of borrow and spend. But according to republicans none of this ever happened.

But the GOP continues with there statements to getting big government out of the way which only means cutting taxes on large corporation and the upper 1% wage earners while doing nothing for the middle class, small business, and the poor. But there continuing agenda of making the rest of this country pay there way while the right wing continues their agenda of sending jobs overseas and hide there profits in Off-Shore accounts. The GOP ignores the proven myth that trickle down does not work, but they never stop trying. The right wing agenda of obstruction has prevented Obama from fixing these problems. Now the right is using talking points that this problem was created by Obama and hide there obstruction agenda.

What gets lost is real facts that if the right wing bothered to research democratic presidents have easily out performed republican presidents in job creation. Even Jimmy Carter has outperformed Reagan Bush and Bush and the right wing classifies Carter as the worst president in History.

Even while Obama was creating jobs republicans were trying to kill jobs. All the republicans have done is obstruct Obama progress on job creation, immigration reform, and tax reform since 2009.

Red state after red state is being destroyed by the same economic policies of trickle down economics policies that don't work. The GOP still has not learned.

It time to learn that republicans create these budget crisis driven by religion to deny low income women access to cancer screening and reproductive health services. Republicans could care less and this is just one dirty little secret to hide there manufactured budget crisis and their favorite of threats to shut down the government.

The GOP other dirty little lie of wanting to cut regulations to promote affordable American energy, which most democrats agree but the GOP will not tell you what they want to cut. The only regulations I can find is dropping regulations on overtime pay, and less government regulations on retirement programs.

We listen to right wing talking points of the slowest economical recovery since the Great Depression. But republicans hide from the fact they created the recession and obstructed every bill to fix the economy and I have asked every low information right wing haters on OPP to show me one bill created or sponsored on the right to create jobs, address debt and deficit, poor or middle class or small business and all I get is insults and no facts.

Good grief, the greatest job creators are the private businesses that are not taxed past their eyeballs and regulated out of existence. The only role the POTUS plays in creating jobs is to start cutting taxes and get the f*ck out of the way and let the American people do what they do best.

The Preamble to the Constitution states its purpose very clearly; "to PROMOTE the general welfare" and "to PROVIDE for the common defense." Obama has done neither, he has PROVIDED welfare for all the slackers and for illegal immigrants and has nearly destroyed our defense capability.

I am beginning to believe that liberals are proof that some species of humans really did descend from apes. The only difference is that apes have managed to at least maintain their levels of intelligence, whereas liberals have somehow fallen into retrograde mental development. Devolution, I think they call it. They are getting close to the end of the road. There is a rock in my back yard that is smarter than most of them.

The longest streak of private-sector job growth on record

U.S. businesses have now added 14.4 million jobs over 73 straight months

The labor force participation rate rose to 63% in March, the same level as in November 2013!

All those quotes -- minus the exclamation points -- came from White House top economist Jason Furman. And they are all accurate.

What's missing, however, is context. Because when you look at these numbers in context, not only do the exclamation points disappear, but so do any claims of robust job growth under this administration.

'Take that 14.4 million job growth number. That sounds impressive doesn't it? But that job growth is stretched over almost six full years, during which time the working age population grew by 15.8 million.

In that respect, we've lost ground on jobs under Obama.

What's more, that 14.4 million increase in jobs is measured against when the job market hit rock bottom in February 2010. If you compare the current number of jobs to the previous jobs peak in January 2008 -- which is how job growth is normally measured -- the number of private-sector jobs has increased just 5.6 million.

During that time, the population grew by more than 20 million. In other words, there's a jobs gap of more than 14 million.

What about labor force participation? This is a measure of how many people are working or activity looking for a job. And while it's recently ticked upward, as the nearby chart shows it is still way below where it was when the jobs recession ended in early 2010.

Want more context? Compare these numbers to what happened during the Reagan recovery, when the job market exploded after bottoming out in December 1982. While the population grew 12.4 million in the following six years, the number of jobs shot up by 18.4 million.

As a result, the labor force participation rate -- which started out lower under Reagan than Obama -- zoomed upward as strong growth pulled people back into the job market.

There are other bits of context on jobs that Furman manages to leave out of his post.

While 14.4 million jobs were created from February 2010 to March 2016, the number of people who dropped out of the labor force -- either because they retired or just quit looking for work -- shot up an astonishing 10 million.

Meanwhile, the number of people who aren't in the labor force but do want to work is higher today than when Obama took office. And the median length of unemployment is now 11.4 weeks, which is also higher than when Obama took office.

In many areas of life, slow and steady will win the race. But when it comes to job growth, slow and steady ends up leaving millions of workers in the dust.

JUST ABOUT ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS YOUR SOURCE????????????????????????????

The only part that is correct is the 15 million jobs, but it says nothing of the 11 million lost jobs. And, it says nothing about most of the new jobs are part time, low wage service industry, and government jobs. The real unemployment rate is 9.7% (U6). And this is the slowest recovery since WWII. Obama is the first president to NOT have one quarter of GDP growth of 3% or higher since WWII. GDP growth is a dismal 1-2% growth, stagnant, teetering in recession.

If the economy was as rosy as you obviously, and wrongly, think, why do 65% of Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction? And, why do we have a record number of Americans out of the workforce, and a record number on food stamps? How come we have a record of Americans working two jobs, and why do we have a record 70,000 more small business failures than start ups?

Then came wild Willy. He unraveled the advantage of Reaganomics in short order. Fired up NAFTA and created Sub Prime Loans which
taxpayers ( not lenders ) are still paying for and may not ever be able to pay off. The upcoming giant crash will level the playing field
however. For all but the 1% and a good portion of the present top 10% . The ones who have prepared. Everyone else should take heed
of the one good solid idea of Obama and take up guitar . You will have plenty of strumming time on your hands.

So get ready for socialism boys and girls. If Clinton wins it's right around the corner.
If Trump wins there should be a short respite before Obamanomics catches up and
destroys the Republic.
