A new report from Bloomberg Government reminds us of something very, very important before the upcoming elections in six months.
Since 1961, when John F. Kennedy was elected through our current Democratic president, America has seen almost twice the growth in private sector jobs under Democratic leadership vs Republican presidents!
In actual figures, non-government payrolls grew by almost 42 million jobs under Democratic presidents, compared to 24 million when a Republican sat in the White House!
Those are some pretty amazing statistics and a clear reminder of how much better our nation thrives under progressive leadership vs conservative mismanagement.
They are also a clear reminder of the importance this falls elections hold for our nations future...do we want to watch most of America’s growth end up in the hands of the few at the top, who “claim” to be job creators, or do we prefer to see growth spread across the entire spectrum of Americans, prosperity for all?
That’s the progressive plan for American economic growth...where everyone benefits!
Please remember this before you vote in November!

Great, once the Obamanation completes his socialist dream of demolishing capitalism once and for all, Americans will all be back to work on the collectives and life will be a workers paradise. I can hardly wait.

The Cubs winning percentage has gone down every year under President Obama. The facts match that statement.
You stated the markets will climb again once the President loses the election. The facts state the markets have increased since the President took office.

No wonder the Cubs are suck a loser of a team. In the land of the Obamanation, the Cubs win every game.
Maybe Dale and his sock puppets are on vacation

Yes Slabside. And I also notice that CSalafia (or the one you cal “Chris Salafia”) is still posting his make-believe cutting remarks.

These statistics are because Obama is so friendly to business. Really? Do a little survey of your own, go ask a small business owner if they are more confident about the business environment since Obama came into office or less? The unemployment rate should tell you also how they feel.

Let's try this again...
Market returns under Bush: 22% loss over 8 years
Market returns under Obama: 49% gain over 3 years

Truth is that of the two people who will be running only one of them has personally created a job. Only one of them has run a business or governed a large corporation and managed money that multiplied instead of mounting up a tremendous debt. By your own words you can plainly see who the better choice would be. The day this Obummer leaves office I bet you the market starts to climb again. Just the knowledge that the communist is out of office will be enough to start investors to once more begin investing in a capitalistic country.

Rod, you want some facts. The fact is Obama made big promises and blamed everyone and anything when he didn't deliver. Even IF the Democrats HAD created more jobs on average, that does not mean Obama can. We gave your great Obama a chance and he blew it, so now it's time for a change AGAIN!!!

More numbers:

The markets seem to prefer President Obama to President Bush.

STATISTICS...YOU WANT STATISTICS......YOU LIBERALS, PROGRESSIVES, SOCIALISTS, ANARCHISTS, COMMIE WANNA-BE's AND DEMOCRATS = CAN'T HANDLE..........STATISTICS.
Number of States won by Obama in 2008 = 19
Number of States won by McCain in 2008 = 29
Square miles of land won by Obama in 2008 = 580,00
Square miles of land wond by McCain in 2008 = 2,427,000
Population of Counties won by Obama in 2008 = 127 Million
Population of Counties won by McCain in 2008 = 143 Million
But the most "telling" Statistic is;
Murder rate per 100,000 residents of Counties won by Obama in 2008 = 13.2%
Murder rate per 100,000 residents of Counties won by McCain in 2008 = 2.1%
Aggregate Map of Counties won by Obama in 2008 = Highest number of residents on Welfare, Food Stamps, Government Assistance, Child Abuse, Drug Addiction, Crime and Incarceration Rate.
Aggregate Map of Counties won by McCain in 2008 = Higher number of "TAX-PAYERS"
HOW DO YOU LIKE THOSE.............STATISTICS [wink]

Couldn't agree with you more Mr. Livdahl. Well done.
As for me, I prefer that corporate entities and government be seperate, the latter being the watchdog of the former in order to best protect the best interests of the citizens.
Bearing in mind that corporate interests (especially those heavily supported by FOREIGN investment- what should they care for the well being of the American people?) are beholden only to profits and that government is supposed to be representative of people, the conflicted interests are obvious. There must be a separation of the two.
I am well aware that the line has become increasingly blurred in my lifetime. Nonetheless, the LAST thing I care to do is place a corporate profiteer in the most powerful office intended to protect people. He's not well suited for the job and he " just doesn't get it."

Again you're cherry picking figures. If anyone had an answer, anywhere, it wouldn't be necessary to do so. Obama had a chance to do the right thing, whatever he did, it wasn't. So you pick column 'B' or hope he gets smarter real sudden. You can cherry pick figures forever, doesn't solve problems, but sounds good, because it was picked that way. Frankly, we need to go to work, and if someone isn't offering a salary and benefits to do it, we need to do it anyway. What makes that easier? Column 'A' or column 'B', and the shame is, you don't get a 'C'.

Bloomberg News tallied up a private-sector of job creation: Since John F. Kennedy’s presidency, 42 million jobs were created under Democratic presidents, and 24 million under Republicans. President Bill Clinton’s eight-year tenure accounted for half of the Democrats’ total private employment gains over the past five decades.
But, during Obama’s presidency, improvements in the job market has ground to a halt after Democrats passed ObamaCare. Federal government said the national jobless rate was/is down to 8.1 percent. Americans are facing tough times, and millions are still out of work.
Congress remembered this before they voted. President Obama's $3.8 trillion budget request went down in the U.S. Senate 99-0, after failing in the House of Representatives in March, 414-0. In other words, NO Democrat in Congress voted for Obama's 2013 budget.

This is what happens under the Republican Party, Apple mastering the art of tax avoidance. The company has pioneered legal tax strategies that reduces it's corporate tax on last years profits of $34 billion to just 9.8% compared with 24% for Walmart. The company created a new popular accounting technique known as the " double Irish with a Dutch Sandwich," which cuts taxes by routing profits to subsidiaries in Ireland, the Netherlands and the Caribbean. Technology is the countries most valuable industry, but many tech corporations " are among the least taxed." The New Yourk Times
The Republicans, also known as the communist party, has created so many loop holes to corporations who out source American jobs to communist China.

That is why the Republican folks are trying to dismantle the Liberal mentality of Govt creation of jobs and spending? Specifically we are never told where are the jobs.
Called Vodoo Econ? Now BO sez he has created XXX # of jobs with stimulus monies. O'h yeah, JOB's that State's mandated to be lost, BO ran stimulus monies to the states---JOBS that States already felt they were able to cut to the bone. BO did not create, it's called "SAVED" That is what "is" IS? Panders to UNION's that have got Fed's and State's in "HOCK".

Good job Rod, I am sure everyone now will think that they are much better off then when President Obama came to office. Oh I know I know, he inherited the worst economy of all time and if he wasn't here we would have surely all died. However, the polls and the public are a little smarter. At this time, the majority of the people believe that a Romney presidency has a better chance of a better economy then another Obama presidency. Who could blame them. But keep trying, someone will believe you. Just not enough people.

The $epublican candidate has only torn companies apart and sent the jobs to China and India.
He has never created a job in the U.S. except for hiring his gardeners and housekeepers and personal chefs and nannys and chauffeurs.
