We Didn’t Lose "700,000 Jobs a Month"

When speaking about the benefits of the Stimulus, President Obama said a few days ago that when he came into office “we lost 700,000 jobs a month.”

This is false!

I believe he was referring to last January. A single month when the job losses were the highest.

Job losses started picking up speed as soon as business leaders realized who was going to be president. They knew he was going to be a disaster and they started cutting costs like labor immediately.

As far as inaccurate claims go, my favorite is when he claimed at 10,000 people had been killed in a Kansas tornado. You just have so say, "Huh?".

ONce all the fools SHUT UP.. we’ll realize and will be able to prove...

The Decade of 2000’s really wasn’t so bad.. until the DEMS took control of House and Senate in ‘06.

Wow you’re right!

“Imagine for a moment that one of the leading Republican presidential candidates said that 10,000 people had been killed by the recent tornado that destroyed Greensburg, Kansas, Saturday.

Do you think this would have been easy fodder for the broadcast television news divisions that always seem fascinated with gaffes made by folks on the right?

If your answer is an unequivocal “Yes,” then why did ABC, CBS, and NBC completely ignore Sen. Barack Obama’s statement Tuesday wherein he accidentally exaggerated the death toll from the Greensburg tornado by 9,988?”

The closer you get to zero (jobs actually being done) the fewer jobs that are “lost.” Let’s say, we have 100 million jobs at first. But then we begin losing jobs. Well, we can lose a LOT of jobs at first because we HAVE a lot of jobs

—But then, near the end of the line, when the nation is being overrun by mutants and vandals, we might have a month where we ONLY lose 10 jobs, total. The LAST 10 jobs. We can jump up and down and proclaim, “We only lost 10 jobs this month! Only 10 jobs!”

But that was it, see? We can only lose what we HAVE and if we ain’t got much...

Here’s the thing of it:

If you don’t start ADDING jobs, you always lose jobs because jobs and the temperature outside are pretty much the same thing—when you ain’t gaining, you’re losing.

Well, sometimes it doesn’t change at all and stays the same but not for long.

When Oliar began the Zero solution, unemployment was somewhere around 4.8. In less than a year Odimwit has managed to take it to 10 percent, and it is still climbing. It ain’t Bush’s fault, and sooner or later Ocreep needs to quit pretending to mop up Bush’s mess, and start cleaning up his own.

this is the total for 2008 by the NYT -
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/01/09/business/20080109_jobs_graphic.html

even this is slanted but nowhere near 700K jobs a month-
the only president in post depression history whose policies has lost over 500K jobs a month is mr. obama
