Majority of jobs created by Obama are low paying

You wonder why you sometimes get angry responses from the left.
Did Obama buy manufacturing companies and outsource the jobs to China?
No? I didn't think so.
Who was it that did that?
Oh yeah, Mitt Romney. Shut the fuck up Superhack.

this is truly funny...coming from the guy that always rushes to legion troll's defense of even his most hackish troll threads and the same guy who makes some of the most partisan comments on this board, if not the internet.
no wonder you have no respect except only from far left wing wackos.
see what i did there....

another example of rune proving what a hack he is:
Obama’s ‘Outsourcer’ Overreach
The president's campaign fails to back up its claims that Romney 'shipped jobs' overseas.
Obama accuses Romney in a series of TV ads of being a “corporate raider” who “shipped jobs to China and Mexico,” asking if voters want to elect an “outsourcer in chief.” But some of the claims in the ads are untrue, and others are thinly supported.

Yes. Completely ignored the topic and instead whined and sniveled about Rune.

that would mean something if you didn't always do the same....that would mean something if rune didn't completely avoid the thread topic and whine about superfreak. you're such a hypocritical hack.
you always run away from actual debate and hide behind insults when your lame hack points get countered.
just like you did here...you completely IGNORED post 7 which was semi thread topic because rune couldn't stand someone saying something bad about obama....you IGNORE facts and LOGIC and relish in insults. why don't you stop running from actual debate?
can you do that? are you also going to call out rune for making dozens of threads about the poster and ignoring the topic? can you do that?
or are we just be treated to your usual two faced whining and no debate? i predict you will ignore this post.

No; he just gave money to companies, who then paid their CEO's and closed their doors.

Was this not happening when Obama promised we wouldn't see unemployment above 8%?
Was this not happening before Obama said he could fix the problems left by Bush?
I don't get your point. Obama was elected because he said he could fix the problems, and make things better. Now that he has failed to do that, you want to run around finding all the 'reasons' which existed already, to 'explain' why he hasn't succeeded. And it's not only that these conditions already existed, but it's the fantasy you seem to have, that reelecting Obama will somehow change them. We're not going to stop trade with other countries or prohibit American companies from outsourcing jobs overseas. That isn't going to happen in reality, it can only happen in the six inches of gray matter between your ears. So for the next 4 years, Obama or whoever, will still have the problem of companies outsourcing, and those will continue until we do something to encourage companies not to outsource. I don't think raising their tax rates will help.

I would like to again point out, to the Obamapoligists, that Obama didn't STUMBLE into any problem.
He knew about them in advance, campaigned for the job, and then begged for the responsibility.
He has failed.
Of course you don't get my point. I am sane.

How very ignorant:
Is that outsourcing? Or is it expansion?
Are you faulting GM for expanding it's business world-wide and increasing market share as a result? GM Mexico's been around for 75 years, did Obama cook up that expansion from his mother's womb?
Would you have rather GM just fold? How many hundreds of thousands of jobs would have been lost as a result of that?
Stupid douchebag, indeed. Go look in a mirror.

RNC Convention Workers Being Paid Below Minimum Wage
During these past four days at the RNC convention, janitors have worked around the clock picking up after delegates, conservative stars like Ann Coulter and Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), and the thousands of reporters in cavernous filing rooms. And many are doing so making less than minimum wage.
Carolyn Walker said she has been cleaning the convention center for 13 years. She had been making $8 per hour until a few years ago, when the cleaning contract went to another company, Cleanevent USA. The new company meant a new, downsized paycheck. She's now making minimum wage -- $7.67 per hour. But that wasn't the only hit to her wallet.
Walker said the company charges her $6 per week for uniforms. "It stinks to tell you the truth," she said. "We work very hard." It effectively means she's making less than Florida's minimum wage.
Larry Gilmore, 32, and Jean Baptiste, 27, recounted similar hits to their paychecks by Cleanevent. Baptiste said he's charged $11 per week for uniforms -- a thin blue short-sleeve shirt and dark pants.
As Rep. Paul Ryan delivered his acceptance speech on Wednesday night, Baptiste wheeled his giant can through the convention center, picking up trash left by reporters from The New York Times, CBS, The Huffington Post and other media outlets. All you heard in the massive room was Ryan's speech and the wheels on Baptiste's plastic trash can. He said he had only one complaint about the work. "It's good," he explained. "I just wish they paid more. I can't keep up with the rent."
Baptiste's rent in Tampa is $575. His electric bill can be as high as $160 per month. If he wants to park near the convention center for work, he -- and the others -- said they would be charged for the privilege. Baptiste said he does not use that parking garage.
Asked about the details of his paycheck, one worker, who refused to give a name, replied "So much money for the haves and so little money for the have-nots. I want you to note that distinction."
Mike Sheehan, Cleanevent's regional manager, said the convention has been a boon, providing enough work to effectively expand his company. He's utilized 105 people to clean up after the RNC -- including about 40 new workers hired for the convention.
Sheehan usually goes through a temp service to hire extra staff for big events. He said he may not do so anymore, adding that he plans on keeping a lot of the new janitors. The new workers, he said, aren't getting charged for uniforms, since they aren't regular employees. Only the longtime, steady employees like Walker are getting charged. "It's like five or six dollars" a week, he said.
Is the uniform charge fair? "No," Sheehan admitted. "It's better to just issue them and allow them to purchase extra shirts at cost. That's where I'm heading now."
Zandra Jones, 29, is one of the new janitors. She hasn't been hit with any uniform charge. Maybe, if Sheehan keeps his promise, she won't have to.
After two years of fruitlessly looking for work, filling out application after application, Jones landed a job with the company two weeks ago. She's already figured out what she likes best about the job. "Working. Just working period," she said. "Just having work."
