There are some jobs that the government should be doing, like repairing infrastructure before another bridge collapses. Too bad the House won't pass a bill for that. Those jobs would also stimulate more private sector jobs. Unfortunately, Obama is for it, so the House Republicans won't do it.

It's a sorry state of affairs when those controlling the House hate the president so much that they won't do something to benefit the country just because he is for it. Even Bill O'Reilly said there as some Republican that would hate Obama even if he cured cancer.

That hatred for the President may be a strong word in anyone's book if you can actually even buy the idea that they hate the President and not his policies. But, by his actions, the President has shown his contempt of the opposition, so turn about it fair play in politics as in life. If karma won't get it done, one has to do it by their own actions.

I personally do not hate Obama, I dislike his policies and think he is a snake; but hate? Nope.

You did not really look at that chart very well.
Of those 400K+ jobs that were taken away, only ~128K were Federal jobs, the balance were State and Local jobs, of which the Federal government has no real say, unless the jobs that were lost were funded Federally.

It is always a good idea to vet your sources thoroughly before posting them.

The reason so many private sector jobs were lost and not created is because of the policies set forth by several Presidents including Obama and Bush.

Ok, liar is a bit extreme. I will give you benefit of the doubt, and say that you are just dumb. If you really look at those numbers, you will see since 2008 (when Obama came into office) that the private sector has a net loss of 2.9 million jobs, and the public sector has lost 475,000. This is not just federal jobs, but state and local as well. The really scary part of this is that the public sector comprises 18% of all jobs. That means that every four people have to support the fifth person, who is not producing. This is also not counting the people who are not working.
