Three hundred thousand.... I typed it out because I want you to ruminate on that number for a bit. Now, if you had 300k M&M's, you would say you had "a lot" of M&M's, correct? If you had 300k friends on facebook, it would be "a lot" of friends, wouldn't it? If you gained 300k friends in one month, that would be pretty phenomenal, wouldn't it? Three hundred thousand.... that's how many NEW people filed jobless claims last month! Now, generally speaking, in order to file a jobless claim, one has to be jobless. So we can take this information and presume that at least 300k more people this month, than last month, are without jobs. Were jobs created? Yes...BUT...new people also came into the workforce... people graduated college or turned 18, etc. When everything is accounted for, 300k more people filed jobless claims. We have NOT CREATED JOBS!
For the most part, the Dow Jones is rich people swapping money around! Those mean and greedy SOB's who make up the 1% you are always bitching about! THOSE people are doing rather well in this shitty economy, because they have the capital to buy up stocks at pennies on the dollar. Now this might present some sort of advantage for liberals if they hadn't already crucified these people and could possibly win their votes, but that isn't the case. But good luck going after the stock mogul vote, I'm sure you'll do very well with that demographic! Meanwhile, everyone else is suffering.
Of course Obama can't force companies to hire people instead of robots, but neither could McCain have prevented that, or Bush, or Romney, or anyone else, that is called PROGRESS. We're going to always advance in technology and productivity, it's been going on for quite some time. Believe it or not, they once built automobiles without the help of robots! The thing is, in spite of this universal factor which plagues every president, Mr. Obama campaigned and won on the promise he could do something, and he has failed.
