Draggingtree Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The Washington Examiner: Opinion: Editorials Examiner Editorial: One term gone and no recovery in sight January 5, 2013 | 8:00 pm "If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition." So said President Obama in February 2009, declaring that he would be held accountable if his policies failed The job numbers released Friday offer still more grounds for buyer's remorse. The unemployment rate stood at 7.8 percent, equal to the revised November rate and one-tenth higher than the more hopeful 7.7 percent figure that came out just before the election. Only 155,000 jobs were created in December 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' payroll survey. That is not enough to keep up with population increases, never mind produce economic growth. It is also roughly the same as the monthly average for all of 2012 and all of 2011.

pollyannaish Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Good luck with that. But it doesn't surprise me. Edited to add: since this comes up so often under Dem presidents, has a Republican ever tried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
