And all of those jobs are full time, right??

The charts are fudged......

When folks go from a full time to a part time job, that's not a 'plus'.

Using that logic you would have to disregard all the statistics the labor department has ever put out, which would leave you no way to compare the numbers under Obama to any other president.

Full time jobs, that is correct. The numbers are not fudged.

Interestingly, under Bush II Public job growth soared, under Obama, it has declined drastically. To put that in a way you might understand, Obama has shrunk the government and increased private job growth at the same time. Bush grew the government. So much for Republicans living up to their promises.

You could be right, however, as the Baltimore riot groups did, he does seem to enjoy looting, from future generations that is?
Your buddy Scott Walker is following in his shoes. Borrowed $990 million two years ago for road construction. Called that unsustainable at the time. Now for the next two years he's proposing borrowing another $1.3 billion. Must be sustainable now.
Borrow and spend conservative!

Not talking about retirees, but those that just gave up looking for a job....they are not figured into the equation.
Go play with your Rubic's cube.

The job participation rate is ignored as Obama brags about unemployment somewhere in the 5% range when in actuality it's more like 11%.

From the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
The aging of the baby-boom generation is an example of a demographic change affecting the labor force participation rate. In 2000, baby boomers were ages 36 to 54 and were in the prime age group, with the highest participation rates. Every year after 2000, a segment of the baby-boom population has shifted into the 55-years-and-older age group, moving from the prime age group to one with much lower participation rates, causing the overall participation rate to decrease. This trend is expected to continue and even accelerate in the 2012–2022 time-frame

Could you make that into a Kermit meme or find a cartoon to express that?
