The media NEEDS to start doing its job and start holding CONGRESS responsible for some of this stuff as well. It is a complete lack of responsibility for a Congressional Leader to stand in the halls of Congress and take zero responsibility when you are 1 of the 535 LAWMAKERS in the Federal Government. Reid, YOU make the rules that we all have to abide by. Well, laws that at least most of us have to abide by.
Facts don’t matter to the Democrats. Harry Reid saw a way to slam the Republicans with a false misleading statement, and he did that.
Will the MSM fact check Harry’s statement? Not likely. So now we will hear that 8 million jobs were lost during the Bush administration repeated as gospel.
And when we get into the presidential p*ssing contests on this issue,the Democrats will say that for all of the problems in the Obama economy, that fewer jobs were lost under Obama than under Bush.
Funny, but I recall 4.2% unemployment under GWB.
Bush has been out of office how many years now, Harry?
Did anyone from the Damn Stupid Party get up and challenge the ass-hat on any of this crap? If not, why not. Why are “we” silent while these lunatics keep pounding on us? What the hell is going on in Washington?
how many homes, jobs and businesses have been lost just in NV under Harry Reid?
The Democrats will say anything at any time. The truth means nothing to them. They must be stopped.
And I remember the LSM screaming about a horrible job market when that number went up to 5.5%, even though that’s close to what economists used to consider “full employment.”
But now close to 10% (really more like 16%) is just fine.
Gee, I wonder why? /spit
Respond to Harry Reid @SenatorReid on Twitter. He needs some feedback.
Obama’s Deficit Avalanche isn’t Bush’s Fault / scottuystarnes.com / 2/9/2010

Washington Times reports: Even more staggering than the mountains of snow in the capital are the deficits the Obama administration plans for the next decade. Huge spending increases will add about $12 trillion to the national debt for budget years 2009 to 2020.
The scariest part is that these deficits are based on unrealistic budgeting assumptions; the real fiscal outlook is much bleaker. In the proposed 2011 budget, the White House defensively attacks the “irresponsibility of past” deficits.
For example, the 2009 budget deficit of $1.4 trillion is blamed on the George W. Bush administration as if President Obama’s $862 billion stimulus package and more than $400 billion supplemental spending bill had nothing to do with it. Mr. Obama’s planned 2010 budget deficit rises to an even higher record level of $1.6 trillion.
By comparison, all of Mr. Bush’s deficits from 2002 to 2008 – the seven years during which his team had the most control over the budget – produced a combined deficit of $2.1 trillion.
Obama has spent more in 2 years than Bush did in 7 years. Obama’s BIOB (Blame it on Bush) defense just won’t work anymore.
bflr
So if someone has a well paying job for 7.5 years and then loses it during a downturn, that is a failure of the former president, but if the next president comes in and the same person cannot get a job for going on three years or has to take one with terrible pay, things are all good. This is the thought process of a liberal.
This is what panic looks like. Somehow “blame Bush” ain’t gonna cut it this time.
lesseee...under a Democrat Congress since January 2007...unemployment has doubled....so by liberal reasoning...if Dubya “lost” 8,000,0000 jobs...why ‘Bammy’s lost 160000000!!!!
Harry you were in office then also so what good did you do? How many times did you spend our Social Security monies? Have you done anything to help the people?
Yup. Robert Reich blames double-dip on Republicans. Tea Party are terrorists. Bush lost all these jobs.
The fear is growing among the liberals because they know what happened in 2010 (when the economic numbers were better) and can foresee a bloodbath in 2012.
And not one republican stood up on the floor and challenged Harry “Warren Jeffs” Reid.
