"The number of Americans age 16 or older who decided not to work or even to seek a job increased by 8,332,000 to a record 88,839,000 in President Barack Obama’s first term, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. …

The increase in Americans opting out of the labor force during Obama’s first term resulted in a decrease in the labor force participation rate from 65.7 percent in January 2009, the month Obama was first inaugurated, to 63.6 percent in December 2012, the latest month reported. Before Obama took office, the labor force participation rate had not been as low as 63.6 percent since 1981, the year President Ronald Reagan took over from President Jimmy Carter. …

When Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, there were 80,507,000 American civilians age 16 or older who did not have a job or seek one. In December 2012, there were 88,839,000—thus, the increase of 8,332,000. …"

Now lets do the math Archibald because I know at times GF is math challenged.  Those who have abandoned the labor market as a result of your much beloved messiah's feckless policies equals about 174,000 each month since he was originally crowned.  Add that 174,000 leaving the workforce each month to the 175,000 new jobs needed to cover population growth and that equals......I'll give you a minute to do this yourself......yes, you got it, 349,000 jobs per month just to keep unemployment from going up!! Congratulations!    

I will leave the rest of the math to you but as you can see, your crowing about the addition of a paltry 150,000 for part of TOTUS's first term is once again like the CEO focusing on the jobs created in one division while another is bleeding more jobs.  He is a pathetic, miserable failure and only you and a few other looney toons at pmsnBS, daily kos and huffnpuff think otherwise.  You are not exactly in the most intelligent company there blah, blah.

Speaking of which, will you put blah, blah, blah in your subject line?  I do so enjoy seeing it.
