The trends are that gas prices have doubled, unemployment is still above 8% three years into this administration, labor force participation rates are down, foods stamp usage is way up, and the national debt is way up.
Is what I'm saying really so hard to understand? You can't have meaningful trends with just two points. By that logic... When comparing gas prices several months before their respective terms ended, they're actually slightly lower under Obama. The unemployment rate skyrocketed under Bush, but stayed relatively flat under Obama Legislation enacted or signed into law by Bush put the US into 5X more debt than legislation to be enacted or signed into law by Obama.
Obama ran up more debt in 3 years than Bush did in 8. Obama is still not producing an unemployment rate of less than 8% three years into his admin. Gas prices are higher now than when he took office.
You should probably give up. It's like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory. Pictorially:
Agreed. He's not going to get it, he's too stupid to understand, lol. Republicans just come back with the same arguments over and over again even when they've been proven wrong.
You realize this was because the banks were collapsing right? Yay for putting the gas price as a gauge of economic health. Some day someone needs to take you and educate you about macroeconomics.
Just for kicks, I'll try a different approach. Should debt-increasing policies enacted/signed-into-law by Bush (but continued as a matter of law under Obama) count against Obama or Bush? How did unemployment get to 8% in the first place? Is it Bush's fault that unemployment almost doubled during his administration? Gas prices hit an all-time high of $4.11 under the Bush administration. Do you blame Bush for it?
Good to have an opinion, I guess. If Obama had said this he would have been excoriated. He'd still be flop-sweating over it. Not that Bush emerged unscathed.
Ironically, oil is going down again because of recessionary fears. This will obviously be the hallmark of President Obama's presidency. Him triggering the election of Francois Hollande, weakening growth in China, and America, and the collapse of the Dutch government is a testament to his wisdom. http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/Latest-News-Wires/2012/0423/Oil-prices-drop-to-103-a-barrel
This poses an interesting dilemma--- If the economy is bad, gas prices will most likely decline. If the economy is good, unemployment will most likely decline. Either way, Obama wins. Hmm.
