    not really. Obama is on the clock right now and we're judging his job performance which is abysmal.

    Obama fucked us already. worse than Bain ever did.

    To me, its a non-issue. He has shown excellent performance on the job there. To make profits.

    And we need to put a grinding halt on the damage Obama and Bernanke has done to this economy.

    the thing is, Obama has no clue what he's doing. The markets are only up due to quantitative easing. unemployment is not getting better and there's no real relief in sight. debt is spiraling out of control. Interest rates are low and when we start raising them as we will eventually need to do, the economy is going to go into a freefall. Obama's just banking on "shovel ready jobs" for his job creation.

    When he took over in 2003, MA was 50th in job creation. When he left in 2007, MA was 28th and had an unemployment rate of 4.7%. In other words, he took over a situation that was the worst in the nation and brought it up to the point where there was full employment in the Commonwealth. There weren't any more jobs to create. Nice try, though.

    But your numbers are deliberately deceptive. If Mass. had 0% unemployment when he started, they'd have had 0 job growth and naturally a 50th ranking in your scheme.

    All my number points to is job growth in Massachusetts rose at 1.5% over the course Romney's term (with the national rate being 5.3%). It came out to 47th in job creation.

    It's a true statement.

    Read up on the community reinvestment act. Bush certainly didn't help it but you have to give Clinton just as much or more blame.

    Also, please explain how the bush tax cuts caused a recession.
