Midknight Review -- new and revised: A little truth about Obama's jobs record. In a word, its mostly fantasy.

Comment from a Democrat loser:
BS. The economy is in great shape compared to what Bush left. And the reason the labor force participation is lower is because more young people are seeking higher ed, and the demographic bulge known as the baby boom generation is aging out of the workforce.

Of course you're not smart enough to consider these factors, when you can take a simplistic and ignorant view of the world and smear a black president ~ Anonymous

Editor's notes: Apparently Anonymous thinks the college age kids started to return to college shortly after GW Bush moved out of the White House. The low participation rate is the result of college kids going back to college. Nonsense. College enrollment did not suddenly spike after Obama began to Occupy our White House.

62.7% is the percentage of able bodied Americans out of the work. GW Bush had a participation rate of 66%. Of the 178,000 new job positions, last month, 118,000 were part time and more folks left the work force than were employed. Manufacturing payrolls were down 4% last month. And while 178,000 new jobs were created, first time jobless claims came in at 254,000 in November. More people quit the workforce than were hired. And it is that way, 80% of the time.

In fact, unemployment claims out preform new job positions in most months. This business of "62 strait months of job increases" is a crock when measured against first time unemployment claims.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

t took the GOP almost 8 years to try to discredit and deligitimize Obama's presidency and they failed. It has taken Donald Trump a month and a half to discredit and deligitimize his Presidency by himself and his campaign. With the supression of the vote, with not winning the popular vote by close to 3 million votes, by having to do battle to win the electoral college vote and with foreign interferance in trying to influence the 2016 Presidential elections by Russia for Donald Trump all speaks volumes. However, just the interference alone by Russia makes the election of Richard Nixon and the Watergate breakin in 1972 and all those who went to prison and Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974 look like a pussycat to what has transpired during this election. What did Donald Trump and his campaign know, when did they know it and what did they do with the information they had.
