Thanks for asking and I will answer your question, you are the stupid one and here is why. Archie, can you for once take off you blinders and recognize that creating 150,000 new jobs four years into a recovery is absolutely pathetic and cannot even keep up with population growth? Of course there were job losses during the recession that was created by the housing bubble and that with a recovery those losses should stop. But think about it man, use your friggin God given brain!!! If you need over 175,000 jobs per month just to keep up with population growth and you are only creating 150,000 jobs per month how in world can unemployment go down?!?!?!? Is there some magical wand, some magic formula that TOTUS came up with?!?!? Of course not and the chart below is your answer. The labor participation rate has dropped like a rock as his policies have been implemented. And just to assuage your immediate reaction to question the source this came from BLS but please, feel free to look it up yourself. If we had the same labor participation rate in 2012 U2 and U6 would both be showing an upward trend. But when your policies are so destructive people simply give up ever finding a job and thus are not counted amongst the unemployed. Magic! Now I don't blame you Archie because I know where your knowledge base comes from and it is a shame we don't have a GOP president because I assure you the LPR would be all over the news every day explaining what a sham recovery we are in. Well except if we had a president that didn't hate real achievement (because he is the affirmative action president who has been given everything because of the box he checks under race), the free markets and this country we would have a real recovery and we would be creating 500,000 jobs per month, not the paltry 150K that you seem so proud of. Your definition of success makes George W. Bush look like a raging economic genius....but then again, he is held to a different standard than the affirmative action president isn't he?

Archie, explain why this recovery has been the worst ever (well except under FDR)? Of course the economy is gradually improving in some areas and stagnant in others like unemployment (or at least recognized by those of us with a brain). This has been a pathetic recovery because of the damaging economic policies of TOTUS, the irresponsible and illegal failure on the part of Dems to pass a budget and remove so much uncertainty simply for the personal political gain (aided and abetted by the government media of course), the passage of laws like Obamacare that have caused insurance premiums to skyrocket and will now begin to harm the economy with new taxes, the constant threat of tax increases for those very same job creators that you seem to stupidly think are creating enough jobs.

You need to stop asking me to think Archie, because I give you a lesson every time you post. Its just you are too ideologically blind to believe the truth about anything.
