   I believe not a word that comes out of the present administration.

   I’ll second that. There are so many people not only out of work but underemployed that I fear economic recovery will take much longer than three years. All of this is idle talk. People who need a paycheck coming in steadily need a job yesterday. This Regime has squandered opportunities to stimulate private sector hiring by adopting? job-killing regulations and requirements, siding with the unions, “greening” his friends pockets and generally being a wastrel.
   It is abundantly clear that Obama is not concerned that he is killing the American Dream. ule, we will go from a waking bad dream to a perpetual Apocalypse.

     I agree too many people who want to work are unemployed by no fault of their own. Who and what is at fault should not be debatable. Technology, greedy executives, and emerging cheap global labor forces are the main drivers. Many jobs will never return, technology does that. Shipping production to other countries increases profits and reduces operation costs.?

     What regulations are you writing about? Regulations that prohibit pollution and dangerous working environments are not good? Regulations that require businesses to pay taxes are bad? regulations that allow competition are bad? Regulations that restrict the public domain are bad?

     Regarding the American dream; our current President has done more in three years to protect it than President Bush did in his ?eight years in office. Plus the current President had a horrible economy to start with, not to mention the hatred and disrespect he has endured.

     Get off your high horse about what being at fault should not be debatable. It is debatable. Maybe the Obama administration and the NLRB openly threatening to sue Boeing for daring to open a manufacturing plant in a right to work state (non-union shop) has something to do with it? That’s just one example. There are hundreds and hundreds of federal regulations – including the “we have to pass the bill to see what’s in it” health care legislation that has contributed to the problem since they have no idea what they will have to pay for in the future.
     President Obama is a socialist who wants the federal government to run our lives since he thinks he knows better than any of us. Screw that.
     Funny, I remember a whole bunch of liberals hating and disrespecting Bush for years, but that’s OK right? Pathetic.?

     You have definitely made me curious. I can’t take the suspense one more second. “Regarding the American dream, our current President has done more in three years to protect it than President Bush did in his eight years in office.” What exactly did our Dreamboat president do to protect the American dream? Because your dream definitely isn’t my dream.

     Steve M who is riding the horse? The causes of the financial crisis are not debatable in what were the causes of the crisis. I think you over simplify the Boeing plant issue, it involved more then opening a plant in a right to work state. What about the good paying jobs in Washington that were threatened? I think your presumption about our President is you riding your horse and jumping the rail. You are correct many people disrespected President Bush, the point beintout was not okay. But at least many of your so called liberals used the term President before Bush.

     Lynn,

     Jobs Lynn, jobs. You can not deny the loss of jobs per month was reversed and now we have gains per month. We can argue the living wage of these jobs but at least more people are working on their versions of the American dream. Our current President is far from a dreamboat. He has had a worse starting point than any other President in our lifetimes. The past thirty years have crushed too many people in our country. ?I fear it will take thirty more of leadership to reverse the losses to the middle classes. Question is who will leads us to equal prosperity opportunities for all?

     You’ve got a real reading comprehension issue buddy. And I can’t even figure out your sentence syntax. I don’t claim to be an expert word-smith, but as to the President Obama/Obama thing, it’s standard writing practice to refer to President Obama in the first reference from within an article, and then use his last name only in following references. I do the exact same thing when referencing previous presidents.

   These last few years have been a nightmare. Here’s hoping we wake up in 2012!

   They are devoting far more effort in spinning the numbers to create deception than they are in attacking the problem- which I see zero intention of actually addressing.? I’m thinking that they see this crisis as too juicy a political opportunity to simply solve the problem so it becomes a non issue.
