I would love to have someone from the local Republican campaign office call and try to pronounce my name, and then act insulted. |

Even though the jobs report came out, and WALLAH...the new unemployment rate is ~7.8. Amazing, and only one month before the election. Imagine that!?! Who publishes the jobs report anyway? Isn't it the GOVERNMENT? The same government that is telling defense contractors to ignore federal law and not provide 60 day notice of layoffs to employees which the WARN act requires. Now I wonder why Obama would want to waive that law just before the election?? Hmmmm! As you know, sequestration is going to cause lots of cutbacks on defense spending, and all those employees would get their notice just before the election. Obama has an uncanny ability to ignore our laws when they don't suit his power hungry tastes. Some points for your consideration: - In 2007, 66% of the population was working. - In 2012, 63% of the population is working. - The REAL unemployment rate is probably closer to 11%. Some say even higher. Remember.....23MM Americans are still without jobs. You have got to look past the Obama and media spin on jobs and look at the real numbers. Let the fact checking begin. |

Joe, I may have rounded off for convience but Obama had run rougly 1.5 trillion dollar deficits each year. X 4 = 6 roughly 6 trillion he dose not agonize over a few hundred billion here or thee, so why should I. |

I agree, its pretty ironic that the unemployment rate "happened" to fall the month before the elections.... really? Most of you know, it doesnt take into account the underemployed (houshold income is DOWN) and those that are no longer looking.
The Labor Force Participation Rate. (percent of people aged 16 and over that are working) is down... Bloomburg Report A friend put a blind help wanted ad in the local newspaper. He was swamped with applications, 30 of which had college degrees... for a secretary job. . |

It was ironic that the economy tanked in October 2008. It'll be interesting to see if anything big happens this month.
Romney came off like the moderate that he is. He was Governor of Massachusetts. They rarely elect a Republican and when they do, it is never a conservative. I thought this debate was good as it allowed he and Obama to actually debate back and forth, rather just answer questions from the moderator. I hope they allow that next time. |

Actually the economy began really tanking in 2006. That's when home values began falling by 50%. And the middle class lost their shorts. Trillions evaporated like steam into the air. Was there enough regulation? NO.

Real estate prices peaked in this region end of '05 into the middle of '06. Prices were flat until the end of '07 beginning of '08 then started declining. Sub prime fiasco started in '08, although I got a hint of it in September of '07 when a long time client called to tell me they were closing their doors due to all the bad paper they had bought. The meltdown was October '08.

Hey, will you guys get off your lazy conservative butts, stay off of the interweb, and actually work to make some money. I am depending on your tax dollars to live my life of luxury. We like to breed prolifically to keep you and yours in debt to support us! If the result isn't what we want we just abort and start over.

Anticipating that I would be disabled in the line of duty, they promoted me to Prime Minister the day before it occurred. It comes with many benefits, a lifetime health club membership, 5 weeks of paid vacation, 30% discount at Costco, 1,000 gallons of free gasoline per year, free college tuition for my children and grandchildren at any Illinois university, food stamps, Medicare, a federal grant to study the mating habits of humans on the internet on any X rated site, free Viagra, free botox treatments, and a partridge in a pear tree. You're right, we do have it figured out, too bad you couldn't do the same! |

Joe, The day Obama took office (after promising if he was elected he would cut the deficit in half in his first term) The national debt was 10.6 trillion. Today it is 16. 1 trillion. That is 5.5 trillion in less than four years. To put that in perspective. Obama's four year term represents 1.6% of our nations history, but 5.5 trillion is 34 % of our nations debt. |

Joe, you should open BOTH eyes. Not just the one you have on Romney. From fact check .org Summary We found exaggerations and false claims flying thick and fast during the first debate between President Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney. Obama accused Romney of proposing a $5 trillion tax cut. Not true. Romney proposes to offset his rate cuts and promises he won’t add to the deficit....... Obama oversold his health care law, claiming that health care premiums have “gone up slower than any time in the last 50 years.” That’s true of health care spending, but not premiums. And the health care law had little to do with the slowdown in overall spending...... Obama said 5 million private-sector jobs had been created in the past 30 months. Perhaps so, but that counts jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics won’t add to the official monthly tallies until next year. For now, the official tally is a bit over 4.6 million......... Obama again said he’d raise taxes on upper-income persons only to the “rates that we had when Bill Clinton was president.” Actually, many high-income persons would pay more than they did then, because of new taxes in Obama’s health care law........ Obama again touted his “$4 trillion” deficit reduction plan, which includes $1 trillion from winding down wars that are coming to an end in any event. |
