September unemployment is 9.8 percent

My thought was not politically based in the least bit. Does it always have to be a Bush/Obama thing with some people?

But if you want to make it a Bush thing, let's be honest a big part of the reason we're in this situation is due to his administration.

COWBOY? LOL...think that's the first time I have ever been called that.

I understand you weren't making a direct connection to Bush / Obama, but if Bush was miraculously in office (obviously couldn't happen) then how would you respond to this?

This isn't a political thread, it's an economic one. As was Matty's response.

I agree but the damn liberals keep screwing it up :D

Sorry, Obama will always have ties to Bush, just like Clinton had to Bush...and you were pretty darn harsh on Bush, but awfully leinant on Obama...so yes, when you complained harshly about Bush's economic state, and his then "high unemployment rate", why would anyone think not to compare. If you were silent on that subject in the past, there would be no comparison now. You can't just say whatever you want and not be called on it when the guy you voted in is doing next to nothing. (which is no surprise given his lack of experience) The fact that you defend such a horrible unemployment rate and kind of pass it off, well we both know that would not be happening if this was even McCain.

How is it not? It's an unemployment rate, and it's directly related to Obama. That's like saying a Jason Campbell issue is not a football thread.

Again, I see what Matty was trying to say, but we all don't all of sudden forget the plethera of attacks on Bush by Matty. Do you guys think you get a pass on any attacks on Obama and what you said about the previous administration just goes away? I am still astounded at the fact that even you attacked Bush about his national debt, yet Obama over quadruples it and you are miraculously silent??? You don't find that odd?

There's no difference to some people. :doh:

I need to correct myself...he's not doing next to nothing, he's digging America in an even BIGGER hole, and making horrible decisions over and over. He's a joke of a president and well on his way to the worst we have seen in recent memory. At this pace, he will go down as the worst ever unless he suddenly grows some advisors and turns this around.

You don't even want to talk about the issue, you just want to point fingers.

Just never mind, seriously.

HAHAHA...then what would you catagorize it as? :doh:

Unemployment rate IS POLITICAL people. WOW...to even suggest otherwise is well, blind.

Check and mate.

Thank you sir...of course you can't defend the issue, there is no defense. So you will continue to blindly support who you voted for, and the ones that see Obama for who he is will continue to notice.

I guess the unemployment rate will just continue to spike, and you will continue to care less as to why.

Maybe you should continue to stay in the football sections, at least there you have valid arguments behind your comments. Been enjoying most of your comments there even though some oppose my views, but I like that you at least defend what you believe. But again, how do you defend the undefendable?

I will cease to comment on here, cause I'd rather the warpath know about his horrible unemployment rate, then the thread be closed because it is calling Obama out.
