Charting The Presidency: Obama's "Dismal Failure On Jobs," Pictured
Via Crid, a post by Dan Mitchell laying out job creation levels by various presidents -- Obama barely makes it onto the chart, with just a tiny sliver at the bottom. And even Jimmy Carter made it on the chart.
Mitchell writes about Obama:
He promised unemployment would never climb above 8 percent if Congress squandered $800 billion on a Keynesian stimulus scheme.Well, Congress said yes and the results have not been pretty. And every month we get new numbers to show us that the Administration's policies have failed. It's like Chinese water torture for the White House.
The numbers released this morning from the Department of Labor don't change the narrative. The Republican and Democratic spin-doctors obviously will spit out their talking points, but here's a visual put together by Political Math that trumps all the political maneuvering. If you're wondering where Obama is, look at the lower left portion of the image.
Presidents don't create jobs, OK? We all know this.
But they should stay out of the way of people who do.

I would love to examine Obama's transcripts, if for no other reason than to find out if he "ever" took an upper division math class, statistics, or economics.

Something to think about anytime you see something like this: these jobs are not permanent. Ask about jobs lost!

But, but... He "Saved or created 3 million jobs" through his awesomely magical stimulus and it's "shovel ready jobs."
Hah.

Obama has practically vowed that he is trying to shutdown and bankrupt coal fired electric plants.
In addition he has approved the sale of oil drilling leases, but then lets the EPA drag out approval to actually drill.
He needs to go.
