It was an unusually feisty weekend in corners of the blogosphere and Twitterverse where dwell economists and economic-policy wonks.
I love your response. Please don’t miss this reminder on Barak Obama’s character leading us forward to who knows where:

Some buzz on Twitter for this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment in O’s remarks (see video at link above): “when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf…” His behalf?
Is time to vote the Marxist out!!!!!!!!!
You guys are idiots if you believe it was Obama that created those job losses? Do you guys even remember who won WW2? I mean if you can’t remember 4 years ago, how do you remember anything prior? Do you not remember that in 2008 Bush was president and when Obama took office, we had already lost 2 million jobs, along with a stock market at 7000. Get your heads out of the imaginary world your living in. Obama took office Jan 2009. His policies at best would start being implemented maybe 6 months to a year later. If you really dont know how ripples work, let me explain, you drop a large rock(in this instance a giant boulder if comparing the Bush/GOP depression to a rock, in the lake, those ripples will not reach the shore far long after the rock has reached the bottom of the lake.
How can you braniacs claim that this was Obamas fault? Do you really have that short term a memory of knowing when the crash happened? It happened Sept 15 2008. The stock market lost more in that week than it ever has before or since. Are you trying to claim that the economy was perfect and it was only AFTER Jan 21, 2009, that things started getting bad?
That’s the problem with the far right extremist fundamentalist position your taking. It’s not believable to anyone who can remember 4 years back.
Grow up. Take responsibility for your presidents’ behavior and record. Stop blaming his failures on Bush. There is NO way you can excuse Obama’s failures after almost 4 years in office. He’s attacked the private sector via regulation and ramming health costs through the roof with Obamacare. He’s thrown money from helicopters with his Stimulus, which is in reality a Dem slush fund for organizations like ACORN and his financial donors. Above all, he kowtows to Soros by using our military and treasure to carry out George’s R2P foreign policy which encourages radical Islamic regimes to take power. The fruits of Obama’s foreign policies have been to abandon our allies and reinforce the pre-WWI Caliphate. Get a clue!
the gov’t just passed reduced gov’t regulations that equal 6 billion dollars. obama has done more in tax cuts then all the money spent in the stimulus and acorn didn’t get one dime of the stimulus.
Hey Turnoff…whether or not the job losses happened under GWB is not the point…take a deep breath and look at the graph again. It’s about length of unemployment. Most people should be able to find employment within 52 weeks…where are the jobs Obumbler promised? Doesn’t matter what caused the losses, he promised he would create jobs. Who’s the idiot now?
