Bush Recession vs. Obama Recession

by: Glenn Beck


When you talk about the all time political spin jobs, I mean,
the best of the best spin job,
ABORTION has to top of the list.

If you just think about it, somehow the side who heirs on NOT killing a baby is the bad guy. There is currently a spin in play that is trying to rival that. It's been driving me out of my mind.
Obama and Jobs.
This is the guy who is the "Planned Parenthood" of jobs. His spin is saving him...
and I will show you how he's doing it next.

Now:
You may recall the phrase, "This president is the worst since Herbert Hoover!"
Yeah, yeah. It was a standard attack on George W. Bush, back in his first term as the election was drawing closer. Ofcourse, you may also recall that there was an event called September 11th, that kind of left the economy in shambles.

Nevermind that; The left were eager to blame Bush for all the job losses and paint him as "Herbert Hoover," the only president to proside under a total jobs lost, losing 8 million jobs. And they succeeded in painting him that. Bush was the big job killer. His peak job loss hit 1.8 million jobs between 2001 and 2003.

Now, when the economy rebounded, he had a net gain of jobs by the end of his first term. The media, and John Kerry, ofcourse, immediately apologized to Bush... or... they just completely ignored the whole Bush taxcut working thing and just moved on. It was one or the other, I can't really remember, but I'm pretty sure they apologized...

But what about now! President Obama's stimulus package has had a year to work it's magic. A year. And we have lost 4 million jobs since it passed. In the State of the Union the other day, he said, "We've lost 7 million jobs in the last two years."
Yes, 3 million under George W. Bush's last term,
and 4 million under your first year.

Four million jobs, a far cry from Bush's 1.8 million. Unemployement is now 10 percent. Yet somehow, this president is viewed as a savior. All firefighters would be canned if it weren't for the stimulus package. Teachers would be fired, leaving children with nothing to do.
And so, little schooless children would be forced to fight fires. Police would be fired. Anarchy/martial law would be a result and Barrack Obama would have to fly in with his cape and save the day.

It's amazing what a little R or a D next to a name can do.

But ofcourse, the real big lie- misdirection in all of this is that the president CAN create jobs. They don't. Reagan didn't create jobs. Clinton didn't create jobs.
Businesses create jobs.
But, let's just keep counting how many jobs we can save.
