Breaking: Obama Passes Reagan

Ready for a good laugh, and proof of the revisionist history that panders to baby black Jesus, aka Barack Obama?

Obama has surpassed Reagan in jobs creation! That’s right, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Obama has matched Ronald Reagan in jobs creation.

According to Newsmax, a Leftist rag posing as Conservative media:

Friday’s positive and hugely surprising jobs numbers not only put the U.S. economy that much closer to full employment, it also set a record that President Barack Obama now shares with former President Ronald Reagan.

On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the national unemployment rate in October fell to 5 percent, the lowest mark of the Obama presidency. Five percent unemployment means that the nation is on the verge of the 4.9 percent level that the Federal Reserve considers as necessary for “full employment.”

Do you think we are anywhere close to full employment in this country?

How pathetic that we now measure unemployment by the number of people who have quit looking for jobs. We have 16 million more people on welfare, and millions who gave up looking for non-existent jobs, and yet we get the spin that Obama is the new version of Reagan!

Ronald Reagan is now younger and blacker!…Oh, and a COMMUNIST!

Politicians don’t want people to know the truth, because the truth hurts. America’s economy is in triage, and there are not very many good jobs. And whatever jobs have been created are essentially menial at best.

It’s funny how much the Left loves to disparage Ronald Reagan, yet they take every opportunity to compare Obama to The Gipper. Nice try.

Barack Hussein Obamer...ummm...ummm...ummm is the anti-Reagan and any comparison to President Reagan is laughable.

Right. Created so many jobs which is why the Labor Participation rate in the US has dropped to the lowest level since 1978.

If O has been so good, why are more Americans then ever sitting on the sidelines waiting for a job?

Looks like the Bureau of Labor Statistics is ANOTHER leftist bureaucracy that needs house-cleaning.

We can do NOTHING without accurate data. We don’t need government bureaucrats giving us propaganda statistics.

Obama has passed Ronald Reagan in the percentage of people no longer participating in the labor work force.

We have the lowest labor participation rate since the 1970s, yet somehow Mr. Zero has created more jobs than President Reagan?

That is complete nonsense.

BLS has one too many letters.

Created more part time, low paying jobs while eliminating twice as many high paying “brain” jobs.

My parents in the 80s made 6 figures combined as factory workers with high school educations (albeit higher quality than today’s).

Today? 20 somethings cant turn even a decent college degree into a 35K a year salary. Not even a full-time one.

It’s like praising China for building more buildings than we did in the 80s. Dont pay attention to the shoddy building standards or the fact that many of them are uninhabited and abandoned.

These “jobs” are barely worth the paycheck, but we are so low it is all we have!

This is what socialist dictators and their regimes do. What is different about this from the claims of the old Soviet regimes?

US population is 30% greater now than it was at the end of Regan’s terms.

More may be employed now in absolute numbers, which could be achieved with 29% of our current population being unemployed in addition to the unemployment numbers under Regan. (Never mind the _quality_ of the jobs.)

The wording belies deliberate misrepresentation.
