Looks like it bottomed out and is heading up to me Look how long the recovery took for the 2001 recession and that was under one president not two. Look how much deeper this has been compared to the others How come everyone expects miracles from Obama but not from previous presidents?

Holy smokies...Pat, he claimed to do miracles when he got elected, he made the boast, however hollow it was.

When did he say recovery would be quick or easy?? Please show me a link.

Pat, do you just ignore history. The 2001 recession was a Clinton recession and it was short lived under Bush.


January 1980 - July 1980 = 6 months

2. July 1981 - November 1982 = 16 months

3. July 1990 - March 1991 = 8 months

4. March 2001- November 2001 = 8 months

This recession is Georg Bush recession but it has been made deeper and longer by the debt and deficit policies of Obama. He gambled on growing Government and ignoring business and it back fired.

It looks like the brown line shows it took 47 months to recover and it's the longets line on the chart, am I reading it wrong?

Pat, I think you are confusing terms, the chart is about jobs and you are then using recessions. Two different things. This recession is the granddaddy of jobless recessions and recovery. But jobs I think lag the recovery. That is why they are worried.

Isn't a jobless time a recession? You money types have all the neat terms and verbiage to take the humanity out of it,it's all numbers to you.

Pat,when Bush was in his recession unemployment was very low probably 5% as I said they preceed and trail the actual recession. All I am saying is it is wrong to combine them because it confuses who you want to blame. Remember it was Obama who said for a Trillion dollars he could keep unemployment at 8% why aren't you pissed at him. We should blame Bush for the recession, Bush for unemployment at 7% and Obama for the rest including the duration of the recession. Normally they say if you have positive growth for two quarters it is over but they are having trouble with that normal agreed to measure because we could be slipping back in.

Obama who said for a Trillion dollars he could keep unemployment at 8%

and now he wants more.

Can Obama make the banks lend money? Can he make American companies bring the jobs back? Not by himself he can't and too many are bought and paid for by corporate America.
He wants to give 100% write offs for business investments Isn't that a tax cut? You think it's going to happen? Not until after the election then it will be a repub idea and will be a great thing. You want him to fail so you can get power back and it will probably happen Lets see what tricks you pull out of your hat I hope it won't be the same hattrick that got us here.

If the Republicans have learned nothing and just put forth Democrat light and the same proposals they will be out of office in 2 years. They have learned from 2006. But the strategy is and you have read it on this site many many times that the Repubicans can't run as conservatives and to the right and that they have to move to the middle. If they fall for that trap it will be a very short majority and they will lose a great many more seats.
