    You are a DELUSIONAL Bigot. Just shut up. LOL. Almost everything Republicans promised in 2012, came true under Obama. Gas under $2.00 and Unemployment under 6 percent (4.9 actually) are 2 examples.

    Gas under $2.00 is partly because Saudi Arabia is flooding the market with oil to drive small american oil companies out of business in North Dakota. (among other reasons). Obama opposes fracking and helping these companies.

    Unemployment under 6 percent because almost 100 million americans are out of the workforce...either retiring or unable to find work and have given up.

    What a great, great speech by President Bill Clinton! Amazing. I hope all of you watched it.

    If you have a source article that's from 2016, be my guest and post it. I didn't find one.

    Do you think it was a mistake not mentioning the whole infidelity thing? He could have said something like, "I caused her pain and she never gave up on me."

    I think if he would have put in one sentence it would have been an almost perfect speech. I think it would have also stopped Trump from always mentioning it.

    The labor participation rate leveled off in the early 90's and has been dropping since the late 90's. And it is one person's fault? That person being Obama??

    As someone in the careers field who has to study employment trends as part of my job, if you think going from 10.1% UE to under 6% is not improvement, then you literally are unable to grasp the concept of mathematics, and it may be time for you to take a refresher course at your local public school.

    Every one of us in the career field- recruiters, outplacement specialists, career coaches, resume writers- there is no disagreement that the UE has gotten better. It's a matter of certain regions now being hit harder than others, our own Houston being one of them. But overall? If you don't get it, brush up on the basics- addition and subtraction.

    6% unemployment sounds really good!... until you realize that unemployment figures doesn't account for people out of the labor force because they gave up. Certainly, it doesn't account for all of them...retiring Baby Boomers are affecting it too...but to deny they exist is kinda silly.

    Does understanding the lowest labor force participation since the 1970's affects the unemployment rate require a refresher course too? As someone in the careers field who has to study employment trends as part of his job, I would think you could grasp that too.;)

    By the way, since you're an "expert", how's that wage growth going under Obama vs. previous presidents?

    Corey Booker. Dude is good. He went straight MLK on Trump. The Republican hate telethon continues.


    Cory Booker responds to Trump: 'I love you, Donald'
    http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/26/politics/cory-booker-donald-trump-speech-tweets/index.html

    Cory Booker said Tuesday he is going to love and pray for Donald Trump after the Republican nominee attacked him on Twitter following the New Jersey senator's speech to the Democratic National Convention.

    "I love Donald Trump," Booker said Tuesday on CNN's "New Day." "I don't want to answer his hate with hate. I'm going to answer it with love. I'm not going to answer his darkness with darkness."

    Booker called Trump out in his speech attacking him for his words about immigrants, women and people with disability.

    Trump responded saying he knows "more about Cory" than the senator himself.

    "If Cory Booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have no future! I know more about Cory than he knows about himself," he tweeted Monday.

    Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

    But Booker dismissed the suggestion.

    "He wants us to be speculating. It sounds so sinister," he told CNN's Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota. "I don't care, I love you Donald. I pray for you. I hope that you find some kindness in your heart, that you're not going to be somebody that spews out insults to your political opposition, that you're going to find some way to love."

    But don't confuse Booker's love for Trump as an endorsement for his candidacy.

    "I love you. I just don't want him to be my president. I don't want you to have the White House to be spewing that kind of mean-spirited hate that doesn't even belong in a playground sandbox," he said.

    Booker has hit the campaign trail with Clinton in the past and said he will continue to attack Trump's policies.

    "I'm just gonna keep loving on him. I'm gonna tell the truth about him but I'm going to keep loving on him," he said. "That kind of vitriol, that kind of meanness has no place in the presidency."

    "Bring it on Donald. Show your truth. I'm gonna show mine. Love you, brother," he added.

    For the Trump fans here b****ing about this part of that part of the DNC, let's remember this: You ain't the target audience of this TV show. The same really goes for those 10% or so of the Bernie people who are dead set on voting for Dr. Jill Stein.

    This TV show is designed to motivate Democratic turnout and persuade voters who are iffy about voting for either party and should be judged by that standard. From that point of view, I think the DNC put up a pretty good program.
