Only moments after the Senate advanced an emergency extension of unemployment insurance benefits on Tuesday, President Obama stood on an East Room stage full of people without jobs and defied the traditional logic of White House strategy that normally emphasizes good news over bad.
The president, who sought to dramatize the need for Congress to extend the benefits, delivered what amounts to his broader economic message for 2014: Despite an improving economy, too many people are being left behind. The tableau demonstrated the challenge for Mr. Obama as he seeks to advertise the financial recovery while arguing for action to help a still-besieged middle class.
Our businesses have created more than eight million new jobs since we hit bottom, Mr. Obama said while somber-looking unemployed Americans, invited to the event by the White House, served as his backdrop.

But the president quickly added that weve got to do more to make sure that all Americans share in that growth and warned that there are still a lot of people who are struggling.

I thought his punctuation of choice was the PERIOD. PERIOD.
So far he has lied about everything else...
AND WHATS WORSE is he called us the liars, when he knew we were telling the truth
That’s a special kind of douchebag
* Not a period?
The economic recovery is a government-sponsored lie promoted by the Leftist media. The workforce number has collapsed into numbers not seen since the 1970s. If all the unemployed were still counted the unemployment rate would be 12%. And the clown in charge can do no better than beg for Chinese money to pay people who haven’t worked in two years. Pathetic.

EIGHT MILLION and more have lost jobs... he has created nothing... this is a keynesian formula for x dollars of government spending equals x number of jobs created. There are no jobs... just part time jobs at best... 130 million Americans ARE NOT WORKING! This is globull warming math!
TARP rescued the financial system. The American economy needed only confidence in order to get back on its feet.
Then Obama scuttled the recovery. First by making wild statements which were hostile to businesses (even before taking office) and then by signing the insane waste of $800 billion “stimulus.”
Hey, those palms ain't gonna grease themselves.
the economy will only reverse its downwards spiral when and if we can get the federal government to stop depressing it and killing jobs at nearly every turn, in almost every significant sector or industry
three more years
pray for America!
Better days may come when Barry is gone.
Not until you and all our DummyRAT scum arte gone!
