RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

so true and with so many VERY lib polls showing R in the lead coupled with R is getting the money and O is running really short. R looks to be way out in front to me.

Teen Volunteers Disinvited From Obama Speech

A pair of teenagers volunteered for 18 hours on the Obama campaign this summer to earn their golden tickets to President Obama's big speech at the Bank of America stadium Thursday night.

Today Madeline Frank, 16, and her brother Koby, 14, were told they've been disinvited and their tickets are no longer valid because the location of Obama's speech was moved from the 73,000 seat open air Bank of America Stadium to the smaller TimeWarner Cable Arena, which can hold about 21,000. The move was made because of a forecast of rain and thunderstorms.

"I've been looking forward to this for a really long time," Madeline Frank of Charlotte, N.C., said today. "I am just feeling really let down and like bummed. It was kind of my dream to see him speak, so definitely really sad."

Clinton had the tech bubble, so the techies made the jobs not Clinton, so scratch 20.8 million jobs right there
Carter deregulated the banks, and we all see the banksters and the trouble they've made, so Carter SUCKS! Scratch 65 million crook bankers jobs

Thats a minus 85.8 million jobs for the dims
42 million jobs were created under Democratic presidents

So really it's a negative 42.8 million jobs for the Dims.

In fact, the Obama jobs numbers would be pretty terrific under this "LIB" methodology, DUH of course they were arranged to look that way on purpose!

Obama is now in positive territory to the tune of 40,000

thats 40,000 jobs @ $5 Trillion

thats $125,000,000,000,000 per job and most are low wage jobs

(CNN) -- Anyone watching the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night heard the number 4.5 million several times.

"Despite incredible odds and united Republican opposition, our president took action, and now we've seen 4.5 million new jobs," San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the party's keynote speaker, said.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who served as President Barack Obama's chief of staff, and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, who followed Obama's November rival Mitt Romney as governor of Massachusetts, both cited the same number.

It's a big-sounding number, given the still-sputtering job market. So we're giving it a close eyeballing.

The facts:

The number Castro cites is an accurate description of the growth of private-sector jobs since January 2010, when the long, steep slide in employment finally hit bottom. But while a total of 4.5 million jobs sounds great, it's not the whole picture.

Nonfarm private payrolls hit a post-recession low of 106.8 million that month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figure currently stands at 111.3 million as of July.

While that is indeed a gain of 4.5 million, it's only a net gain of 300,000 over the course of the Obama administration to date ( 75,000 a year @ $1 Tril a year is $66,666,666,666.66 per job) ( that's horrible!). The private jobs figure stood at 111 million in January 2009, the month Obama took office.

And total nonfarm payrolls, including government workers, are down from 133.6 million workers at the beginning of 2009 to 133.2 million in July 2012. There's been a net loss of nearly 1 million public-sector jobs since Obama took office, despite a surge in temporary hiring for the 2010 census.

Meanwhile, the jobs that have come back aren't the same ones that were lost.

According to a study released last week by the liberal-leaning National Employment Law Project, low-wage fields such as retail sales and food service are adding jobs nearly three times as fast as higher-paid occupations.

Conclusion:

The figure of 4.5 million jobs is accurate if you look at the most favorable period and category for the administration. But overall, there are still fewer people working now than when Obama took office at the height of the recession.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

DAMN O is as bad at jobs as at loans to companies that will go bankrupt

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

300,000 jobs total or 75,000 a year and @ $5 T thats $66,666,666,666.66 per job and most are low wage jobs.

Sorry not selling my soul for money I know is dirty.

Not me!!! I hate them too!! Just another bunch of crooks ripping us off blind. I got a ton on them too, so don't get me started with big oil and that mess.

So true!!

I think politcans should wear uniforms

It's Red, White, and Blue!!

"Do you know why a banana is like a politician?"

You don't read the other sections on CS that much is true. If you did you would know I am VERY political, but also multifaceted.

RE: Obama or Romney for President: simple vote here. one vote only. ;-}

Me too!! I don't like either R or O. But at $5 T and climbing fast. I think R maybe just maybe may spend a bit less. As I am sure O would spend even more the next 4 years. That's the pattern for how many presidents now? The next one spends more than the last guy? It's my hope R may break that cycle as O has spent so much.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

Like it or not most of us here make more money with Republicans in office than we do with Democrats. That has been true all my life, and even more so over the last 30 I worked.

Global food prices jumped 10% in July from the month before, driven up by the severe Midwest drought which has pushed the price of grains to record levels, the World Bank reported Thursday.

The price of maize and wheat rose by 25% from June to July, and soybeans rose by 17%, according to the Washington-based organization.

For politicians; It's not whether you win or lose

but how you place the blame

The reason Politicians try so hard to get re-elected

is that they would 'hate' to have to make a living under the laws they've passed

I think politcans should wear uniforms

you know, like NASCAR drivers

so we could identify their corporate sponsors

It's 12 energy companies

The foundation compiled the list of 12, calling it the “Green Graveyard,” or companies that received taxpayer money for green initiatives yet have filed for bankruptcy.

They are:

1. Abound Solar (Loveland, Colorado), manufacturer of thin film photovoltaic modules.
2. Beacon Power (Tyngsborough, Massachusetts), designed and developed advanced products and services to support stable, reliable, and efficient electricity grid operation.
3. Ener1 (Indianapolis, Indiana), built compact lithium-ion-powered battery solutions for hybrid and electric cars.
4. Energy Conversion Devices (Rochester Hills, Michigan/Auburn Hills, Michigan), manufacturer of flexible thin film photovoltaic (PV) technology and a producer of batteries and other renewable energy-related products.
5. Evergreen Solar, Inc. (Marlborough, Massachusetts), manufactured and installed solar panels.
6. Mountain Plaza, Inc. (Dandridge, Tennessee), designed and implemented “truck-stop electrification” technology.
7. Olsen’s Crop Service and Olsens Mills Acquisition Co. (Berlin, Wisconsin), a private company producing ethanol.
8. Range Fuels (Soperton, Georgia), tried to develop a technology that converted biomass into ethanol without the use of enzymes.
9. Raser Technologies (Provo, Utah), geothermal power plants and technology licensing.
10. Solyndra (Fremont, California), manufacturer of cylindrical panels of thin-film solar cells.
11. Spectrawatt (Hopewell, New York), solar cell manufacturer.
12. Thompson River Power LLC (Wayzata, Minnesota), designed and developed advanced products and services to support stable, reliable and efficient electricity grid operation.

Important: Do You Support Pres. Obama's Re-Election? Vote Here Now!


In a moment I will come back to the Navy Seal Chief that signed NDAs on his book No Easy Day. But this is too good. So let us continue with Stevie for a moment.

Stevie was down on the DNC floor.....when he ran into a ABC news crew that was looking for a shocking story. If Solydrna is not shocking and electrifying, what is? It has the nation enraptured for months now.
How a firm can go bankrupt in two years of business has caught the nation's attention.

Seeing the ABC New Crew approaching with that very big microphone and the that even bigger live camera....Stevie bolted for the door. And a short chase commenced. Till floor security told the ABC news crew, no chasing or running in the building. Oh Rats. Just like High School. Giving Stevie time to make his escape.



The ABC news crew needs to drop some weight to catch Stevie. With the Romney and Ryan team in office, it will be lean and mean days. Stevie will not get away.

But how does this connect to the Navy Chief? Stevie signed a waiver that he broke. And the Obama administration is not chasing him down for criminal prosecution. Someone at the DNC gave passes to get into the convention. Stevie is still a welcomed figure. The Navy Chief signed a NDA, which is very close to a waiver. Yet the Navy Chiefs seem to be facing some charges.

You say Military and Civilian. I say good point. You say National security and government service. I say good point. You say he broke the code. I say they both broke the code of ethical behavior. One to explain a ending event that has the world in turmoil for 11 years.
The other give green energy advantage in the Obama administration.

Obamerica: Charlotte Community in Despair Four Miles from DNC


You don’t have to go far from the Democratic National Convention to see how much worse things are now than when President Obama took office. In fact, just four miles away from the convention, what were once thriving businesses are now ridden in despair. Entire strip malls are abandoned, auto dealers closed, gas stations shut down, restaurants foreclosed and empty. It is so bad, billboards are blank without advertising.
Thanks Obama – you really have been awful. The following are 24 stats that show just how much Obama
The following are 24 stats show how much Obama royally messed up our economy
1 Under B Clinton, the unemployment rate was 5.2 percent. Under G. Bush, the unemployment rate was 5.3 percent. Under O things have been much worse. The month after he took office the unemployment rate rose above 8 percent it has stayed there ever since.
2 Under B O, the velocity of money (important indicator of economic health) has plunged to a post-World War II low.
3 Real median household income decreased more than 4000 dollars since B O entered the White House.
4 The US has plenty of oil we should not import it from the M E. B O has an absolutely nightmarish energy policy. Under Clinton, the number of drilling permits rose by 58 percent. Under G Bush, the number of drilling permits rose by 116 percent. Under B O, the number of drilling permits decreased by 36 percent.
5 When B O took office, the average price of a gallon of gasoline was $1.85. Today, the average price of gasoline is $3.71.
6 Under B O, the US lost more than 300,000 education jobs.
7 Since B O, the number of long-term unemployed Americans has risen from 2.7 million to 5.2 million.
8 For the first time in the post-World War II era, the employment-population ratio has not bounced back after a recession. The percentage of Americans with a job is below 59% for 35 months in a row.

“The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra.”

Yes I know about China's dumping. Did you know that was in trouble from failed biz model before Solyndra got the loan. It's all over the net Solyndra was in deep trouble before the dumping.



As we watch U.S. solar start-ups go up in flames, it’s easy to blame China. On Thursday, in light of the federal investigation into now-bankrupt Solyndra, Reps. Henry Waxman (D., CA) and Diana DeGette (D., CO) asked the House Committee to examine whether heavily subsidized Chinese solar companies are skewing the market, and making it impossible for U.S. manufacturers to compete.

Reuters
Solyndra President and Chief Executive Brian Harrison (L) and Chief Financial Officer W.G. Stover are sworn in before a House investigation panel on Friday.

And in Congressional testimony a week earlier, Jonathan Silver, head of the loan guarantee program that approved a $535 million loan Solyndra, said that even as Solyndra’s sales floundered, four Chinese competitors benefited from $20 billion in government support and “flooded the market with inexpensive panels.”

But with more than $1 billion in venture capital, plus the $535 million loan, Solyndra wasn’t exactly lacking in the financing department. It’s clear that its business model was deeply flawed, no matter the competition. “The company’s investors believed it would win, and the loan guarantee program did its job in enabling the company to scale operations, and providing the opportunity for the company to prove its technology a competitive option; failure to do so was the fault of Solyndra alone,” wrote Lux Research Analyst Matt Feinstein in a new report.
