A President who didn't manage to do everything they said they would do? Well I'll be damned. Surely this is the first time this has happened!

Luckily for Obama, he's running against a guy who isn't even TALKING about fixing the economy.

The only thing Obama has going in his favor is that he's running against Romney. It's like a choice of two evils. This has to be one of the worst if not thee worst two choices for president.

Yep, Jimmy Carter is smiling.

Exactly, and he is compounding the insult by ignoring his promise to step aside, if he failed to do so, much like his promise to improve the political climate in the nation's capital, not make it worse by introducing Chicago style politics.

That is Obama's biggest problem. He is only polling about even with a guy who isn't even talking about the economy, (or spending money yet). More worrisome is that that the trends are going the wrong way.

That statement expired about 30 seconds after he uttered it.

Since the Republicans won back the house in 2010 they've had no intention of fixing the Economy, I don't think they've even put their own job bill through the House. Instead they've been fixated on Voter ID laws, redistricting and Abortion issues. Their main motivation is to make Obama a one term president not to help the American people get back to work. Any job creating proposals have been made by the Obama Administration, lets hope some of these right wing tea party nuts are out of the house in November.

Every president comes with a promise to step aside in four years. If you are not happy with his administration don't vote for him again this time around.

Yeah, just vote for the other guy.

Nobody really knows what he'll do or what he'll change, but go ahead.

Let's see. The first 6 months after Obama was inaugurated the economy bled 3 million jobs.

Travel back further in time and you have the start of The Great Recession. Banks around forever folding left and right. So bad that the government had to takeover the housing market (Fannie/Freddie) and even the auto market!

Go back further.

Jan 08: -76k jobs

Feb 08: -83k

Mar 08: -88k

Apr 08: -67k

May 08: -47k

Jun 08: -100k

July 08: -67k

Aug 08: -127k

By November 08 Obama was elected and job losses were over 1/2 a million for the month!

FROM NOVEMBER 2008 TO MARCH 2009, WHEN THE ECONOMY WAS ON LIFE SUPPORT, WE AVERAGED A LOSS OF 732,000 JOBS A MONTH AVERAGE!

The stock market (Dow Jones) crashed from over 11,500 points in September 2008 to under 6,500 points by March 9th! A level not seen since 1997. A full decade of gains wiped out in a few months!

The job market and economy has recovered DRASTICALLY. There is stability in the economy. Companies are hiring.

We've had 28 straight months of private sector positive job growth. With over 4.4 million jobs created since Feb 2010!!! Over the same period government has shrank by over 500,000 jobs! You have to suffer from UDI syndrome (Uninformed Delusional Imbecile) to not be able to see that the economy has turned around.

He called for the change.... yes the change is middle class will end up paying for the more and more ppl who do not want to work and are expecting govt to give to them for free.

Just increasing the govt spending does not create jobs, unfortunately Obama administration thinks thats the way to go.

** Not saying Romney govt would be any better..... but for me Obama administration's 4 years have been the worst Years for US.

Somebody obviously doesn't know what a CBO baseline estimate means.
