How do you figure that?  Unemployment was 5.8% in 2008 and it's 8.2% now (not sure if that's before or after the weekly "revised upward" figure).  Gas prices are double what they were when Obama took office.

Regardless of whose fault things actually are, your statement is hard to defend unless you're trying to make some vague philosophical statement.

Was unemployment really that low in IV Q 08?  Anyway, I'm talking about the trough of the recession.

Dunno, possibly not.  That was a yearly figure for 2008.

It was 7.2% and rising rapidly (1.5m jobs lost that quarter). GDP contracted by 3.8% (annualised).

I know it is hilarious.  Does he really believe his own bullshit?
As I've said before, he's either a Democrat and very good at what he does, or a Republican and very bad at what he does.

Or maybe just that 90% of this forum is hostile towards Republicans.

Then maybe you should go back to EUOT, where 90% of the forum is hostile towards Americans.  It'll be fairer that way.  :P

Possibly as a result of Hans' years of labor.

Kinda like how, thanks to Martinus, 90% of the forum is now hostile to homosexuals.  :lol:

I've been meaning to do that actually, for a laugh.

I'm conflicted on anti-gay bullying.

Must be the gay Dom shortage.

I'm anti-anti-gay but pro-bullying. :P

But seriously, I have never been bullied and every time I hear about people being bullied for being "gay", it looks like they are in fact bullied for being weirdos. Which there is nothing wrong with per se if you are prepared to own it. The kid in the story, for example, was not really bullied for being gay, but for wearing bleached-blond bangs.  :yuk:
