Here are the numbers WW
Jobs lost in the last 3 years of the Bush admin...........4,539,000 Jobs lost in the first 3 years of the Obama admin........3,680,000
Total jobs lost 2007 - Jan 2012 8,219,000
Job gains in the first 3 years of the Obama admin.......3,346,000 = 91% of jobs lost in Obama first 3 years = 40.7% of jobs lost in the recession have been recovered and all of this recovery has been during Obama admin
Now I make no claim that Obama's action have had anything to do with this and I make no claim that it might not have been worse or better had Obama not been president...I have no idea and neither do you. I simply place the numbers before you.
My personal belief is that what we are seeing is the natural effects of consumer capitalism (as opposed to Wall Street "move money around qand pocket the commissions/profits" capitalism) running its course. This recession was, more than any other, caused by ill advised economic changes but the recovery is progressing with little input one way or the other from non-economic (ie. political) forces.
