    Default No wonder righties cheer joblessness

    The improving economy is swinging the pendulum in President Barack Obama's favor in the 14 states where the presidential election will likely be decided.

    Recent polls have shown Obama gaining an edge over his likely Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, in several so-called swing states — those that are considered up for grabs.

    What's made the difference is that unemployment has dropped more sharply in several swing states than in the nation as a whole. A resurgence in manufacturing is helping the economy — and Obama's chances — in the industrial Midwestern states of Ohio and Michigan.

    And Arizona, Nevada and Florida, where unemployment remains high, are getting some relief from an uptick in tourism.

    "The biggest reason for the president's improving prospects probably is the economy," says Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

    The Great Recession of 2007-2009 hit several swing states particularly hard. Unemployment peaked at 14.2 percent in Michigan, where the auto industry faced ruin. It also hit double digits in Arizona, Nevada and Florida, which were at the center of the housing bust, and in North Carolina, which lost jobs in textile and furniture plants.

    In 2010, the economic misery helped Republicans retake control of the House and gain seats in the Senate. But the GOP can't count on a repeat when voters return to the polls — with much more at stake — on Nov. 6.

    California's recovery had a setback in March as unemployment inched back up to 11 percent after two months of decline, officials said Friday. The rate increased just one-tenth of a percentage point last month from February, but it was the first time since December the jobless rate hit 11 percent, according to the state Economic Development Department.


    The uptick in California contrasts with the national jobless rate, which fell one-tenth of a percentage point in March to 8.2 percent.
    More than 2 million Californians remained unemployed in March. That figure increased by 19,000 since February but was down by 148,000 since March of last year.

    No worry in California, the sheep will all vote for Obama even if they are unemployed.

    Conservatives seem to enjoy the misery of their jobless fellow Americans.

    Why is that?

    It's not as if multimillionaire Mittzie has a better solution for spurring job growth, is it?

    so more people are unemployed after three years of Obama
    Democrats want to keep Obama
    Republicans want to get rid of Obama
    Democrats claim it's the Republicans who want people to be unemployed.....

    interesting logic.....

    Can you cite facts or statistics that show "more people are unemployed after three years of Obama" and substantiate a causal relationship between "Obama" and more people being unemployed?

    So you can't cite facts or statistics that show "more people are unemployed after three years of Obama" or substantiate a causal relationship between "Obama" and more people being unemployed?

    I've only been here a little over a month. I have yet to see a conservative here produce a credible argument as to how the rightwing economic models do or create anything good or better for American people.

    Don't expect to get educated here in a month if you'd had your head up your ass for the last 30 years....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    Why, more tax cuts for the "job creators" are clearly the answer.

    After all, it's all Obama's fault that the ones that have been fattening the wallets of the 1% for 10 years now haven't worked!
