Funny, I thought Congress ignoring basic economics and legislating what jobs are worth had more of an impact on job creation (or lack thereof) than anything the President ever did.

And just wait till the next 2 rounds take effect.

Of course the president is responsible for finding everyone jobs!

He is also responsible for the the day of the week and the month of the year. The time the sun comes up and sets. The global warming now happening on Jupiter. The fact that sometime in the next billion years the sun will go Super Nova. The yellow color of a good ear of corn and the color white in the snow.

I am really impressed how the quality and depth of blamesmanship and whining is improving.

Anderson has it exactly right. If Steve had been around in the 30's, he'd be among those cursing That Man in the White House as a traitor to his class.

“Since when did the President of the United States become in charge of placing people in well paying jobs?”

1933.

This has been another edition of simple answers to simple questions.

Steve,
Are you saying that the President has no control over economic policies, or that economic policies have no control over employment? I can't tell which.

McCain wants to help people...

"Helping people" clearly goes against everything this "Judeo-Christian nation" stands for.

I think all parties in general keep sliding further towards the nanny state mentality. They may not see the things the nanny role exactly the same.

But either way I am willing to bet no matter what happens Obama doesn't create any jobs, if he is elected unless he expands the size of the government workforce.

What has been the unemployment rate during most of the Bush years? Obama is a marxist who thinks he and his cohorts have the answer to all of America's supposed problems. What they do not realize is they are the problem.

I think he means that Bush didn't increase the size of the unionized civil servant workforce fast enough.

Didn't he want to keep certain parts of the new DHS non-union? Those are menial bureaucratic jobs, unlike the sweet, sweet milk from the unionized government teat.
