“Speeches don’t create jobs. No speech ever fed a hungry child. But the Obama team’s solution to everything is a speech, as this convention illustrates.” -Rush Limbaugh
Can somebody explain what I’m missing? From Clinton’s speech -
That’s +4 for the Republicans..correct? Wasn’t Clinton POTUS for 8 years? Did he forget his own term? I’ll give him credit for having the stamina of a 30 year old. He rambled for about an hour & did it with ease.
“Here is the sentence in the platform that sent this convention over the edge. It called for a government that, quote, ‘gives everyone willing to work hard a chance to make the most of their God-given potential.’ That’s what it was all about. It wasn’t even devotion to God or acknowledging God or asking God for blessing. It was simply an acknowledgement that potential is God-given.” -Rush Limbaugh
“On Election Day, do you think Clinton is gonna matter? On Election Day, do you think Bill Clinton or anything he said last night is going to matter? Obama’s speech tonight will not matter! People know Obama; they’re tired of him.
*********
Politico says his speeches are tired and worn out, and Obama hasn’t had a good one in four years.” -Rush Limbaugh
It kills me to see my fellow blacks, following the dems like lemmings…The unemployment for blacks is probably over 20%…and there they are yelling and cheering the people whose policies made that happen. If a white guy was president with this track record they would be calling him a racist..meanwhile, more blacks owned their own homes under the republicans than under Obama…i hate to say it but the blacks will reap the rewards for their loyalty, high unemployent and deeper poverty and all the affirmative action in the world will not help us as a people…
Ya Know? Walkin through a cave at 6 foot one inch isn’t snart OWACH!!
Waz up?
Won’t be on much as you might expect. Its so weird seeing Fox not win the night, sad isn’t it?
Obama Didn’t Create 4.5 Million Jobs
CALLER: So I went to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and I pulled every single month for the years of 2010, 2011, and 2012, okay? In 2010, there were 850,000 net new jobs created, of which 411,000 of them were from the census workers, the temp jobs. In 2011, 1,152,000, and in 2012 so far, 1,017,000. I didn’t include 2009, because those were all losses for every month, and I give Mr. Obama the benefit of the doubt for the first year of his term.
RUSH: Well, that’s very compassionate of you. You mean there were no jobs created at all in 2009?
CALLER: None. It was a negative. It was a negative number.
RUSH: But that’s when “the recovery” started. June of 2009 is when “the recovery” started. That’s what the regime told us.
CALLER: Well, that’s what they claim, but my point is: Why can they continue to say that 4.5 million jobs were created when they couldn’t validate that anywhere?
RUSH: Because it’s their job to lie.
RUSH: I tell you what really irritates me more than anything about the repetitive 4.5 million jobs created. You know what the real number is? And, by the way, we have none other than CNN as the fact check source. “CNN Fact Check: About Those 4.5 Million Jobs…” There has been — now, look at me — the real number is a net gain of 300,000 jobs over the course of the Obama administration to date. They talk about 4.5 million jobs, but some of those are existing, repetitive. The net gain, literal new jobs that didn’t exist, is 300,000.
CNN also grudgingly admits — and I’m gonna quote from CNN — overall, there are still fewer people working now than when Obama took office at the height of the recession, which is the whole point of this discussion. There are fewer people working now than when Obama took office. That’s all anybody needs to know, and that’s what we all do know. There are 23 million people not working. In fact, the number could be close to 80 when you count those that have given up, gone way beyond their 99 weeks. It’s atrocious, this number of people not working, and for them to run around and talk about 4.5 million jobs created, they know they are lying through their teeth.
I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN…BUT, I BELIEVE OBAMAS POLICIES ARE BETTER THAN ROMNEY’S….WANT A BRIDGE?

DNC Wednesday: Clinton’s Speech Was Terrific, So Why Did Michelle Hate It?
Since I fell asleep during his speech , I have no comment.
http://thehayride.com/2012/09/dnc-wednesday-clintons-speech-was-terrific-so-why-did-michelle-hate-it/
The Hillaryis44 website has it’s usual drivel about Obama. There is no love there for the President.
CNN Fact Check: About those 4.5 million jobs …
The figure of 4.5 million jobs is accurate if you look at the most favorable period and category for the administration. But overall, there are still fewer people working now than when Obama took office at the height of the recession.
According to a study released last week by the liberal-leaning National Employment Law Project, low-wage fields such as retail sales and food service are adding jobs nearly three times as fast as higher-paid occupations.
Nonfarm private payrolls hit a post-recession low of 106.8 million that month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figure currently stands at 111.3 million as of July.
While that is indeed a gain of 4.5 million, it’s only a net gain of 300,000 over the course of the Obama administration to date. The private jobs figure stood at 111 million in January 2009, the month Obama took office.
And total nonfarm payrolls, including government workers, are down from 133.6 million workers at the beginning of 2009 to 133.2 million in July 2012. There’s been a net loss of nearly 1 million public-sector jobs since Obama took office, despite a surge in temporary hiring for the 2010 census.
Watching conservative pundits scramble to pretend that Bill Clinton is insignificant is amusing. He’s not enough to win an election, but he certainly matters; Bill and Hillary are two of the only contemporary political figures with an approval rating hovering at the 70% range. When he speaks, he’s not just preaching to the choir, he’s talking directly to the swing voters who are disappointed in Obama, but are afraid that Romney could be worse. The only equivalent figures that the Republican party has are MAYBE H.W. Bush and Nancy Reagan, and that’s a real stretch. Clinton actively campaigning for Obama is definitely not something that the GOP wants to see, regardless of what they claim.
That’s +4 for the Republicans..correct? Wasn’t Clinton POTUS for 8 years? Did he forget his own term? I’ll give him credit for having the stamina of a 30 year old. He rambled for about an hour & did it with ease.

Never mind. Brain cramp.
THE NY TIMES this weekend showed that most of the jobs that were created during Obama’s administration have been low paying jobs…He has everyone picking at the scraps and telling us its the new normal…everyone needs to buy stocks in all the grocery stores as food stamps will be an automatic huge source of income for them and prices will not matter as the gvt is paying!!
