Status: offline 		In a speech today Romney handed out a folder with all sorts of GOP talking point, on page 16 he has a chart which he highlighted in his speech about how poorly Obama's recovery plan worked in 2007, 2008 and part of 2009 Blaming Obama for the poor jobs numbers the chart portrays. 

Now the GOP or at least one of their Presidential hopefuls is blaming Obama for the poor jobs reports created while the GOP and the country was under the leadership of Bush. 

Really, I mean you're running for President, at some point don't you have people look over what the hell your handing out, or does the GOP believe it's base is sooo fucking stupid they can use data from the Bush years and place the blame on Obama

I do thinks it's interesting that the years, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 are somehow not included in the chart, but the the chart starts in 1973

The info is on page 16

Nor does it include the Clinton years, you know when jobs where created

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_panics
There was no recession from 2002-2006.

The current recession officially lasted from 2007-June-2009

Romney is talking about jobless the recovery that has been taking place from 2009 until now.

I am not going to defend any policies or talk about them. I saw the data get misframed and wanted to clarify.


I am out.

It is a chart about recessions and recoveries. Neither 2002-2006 nor the Clinton job creation years had recessions. WTF would they be on the chart? 76-80 and 83-89 arent on there either, both significant job growth periods.

The labeling "Obama Recovery" is also correct. It doesnt come close to implying that he was President in 2007, he has been President since we (technically) came out of the recession and it is aptly labeled.

Status: offline 		Sorry housesub, but what they said. The chart is very specific as to what it is portraying. One would think that if you were voting for president, at some point you would take the time to understand what you are looking at.

Great example of confirmation bias.

Status: offline 		I read it.  Standard Republican junk.  Note the first two points of his five point plan - reduce corporate taxes, and open markets NAFTA-like to Korea and Latin American countries.  I agree with him that one of the problems is that businesses hate uncertainty and Obama's not been steady, but Mitt's promoting already-failed policies.
