Another symptomatic effect of liberal parvovirus - revisionist history.
I think the job killing took place shortly after the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006. Just sayin'
Of course, here is the famous graph that a liberal left think tank generated. More leftist propaganda used to deceive - typical socialist pigs. The knuckleheads didn't even take out the government jobs generated by OBama.
But the graph produced above never cited what changed in late 2007 to generate the job losses. GWB didn't wake up some day in 2007 and crash the job market.... the change was the DEMOCRATs took office in early 2006 and knock the crap out of the economy.

But the people can no longer vote out "W". They can vote out the guy who has kept unemployment over 8%. The Republican Congress hasn't created any jobs? True, but neither has the President.

Love the conservative logic....Bush is not at fault for the high unemployment numbers....it was the Congress. But the day Obama took over the presidency he became responsible. And now our new congress, with a Republican House, is blame free for not fixing the unemployment because the entire problem is suddenly a presidential issue.
I would take this logic to indicate what a low opinion of GW they have and an acknowledgement that Republicans be they president or congress critters, are pretty much useless in government. I believe the rest of our citizens are waking up to this truth too.
A vote for a Republican is a vote thrown away. Just ask our republicans.... Bush did nothing at all for 8 years....and congress, when headed by Republicans, is totally ineffective.

Exactly! Republican voters expect goverment to get out of the way. Democrat voters expect goverment to save them.
Dems create useless goverment jobs to help unemployment numbers. Republicans try to create a good climate for business.
And Bush did a lot, of spending! And didn't veto enough Dem bills.

The problem is, as I see it, the Republicans haven't figured out how to create a good climate for business without screwing the middle class.......which then creates a bad climate for the country as a whole. The all or nothing approach has never been successful.
