Would creating jobs so people have to work ruin Obama's chances of winning in 2012?

I guess my real question is ...Does Obama depend on those suffering , to promise hope to, to obtain votes?

    Obama made 600 regulations last month and Obama-care is not helping.

    Durbin and Pelosi said it would create jobs.

    Obama has no ideas to create one job.

    Right-wing sheeple attack Obama on unemployment when his record is better than the freakin right-wing standard bearer and Bush Jr.

    These are called facts backed up with a link to support them:

    Ronald Reagan became President in Jan. 1981 in Feb. 1981 unemployment was 7.4

    July1983 it was 9.4% (it was above 10% for 10 straight months. Sept. 1982 to June 1983)

    During Bush's last 30 months Aug 2007 it was 4.7%. in Jan 2009 it was 8.5%

    For Obama's first 30 months Feb 2009 it was 8.9% in July 2011 it was 9.1%

    The increased under Ronald Reagan and George Bush is over twice as much than under Obama.

    If the unemployment rate dropped to near 7% by the summer of next year, Obama would will in a land landslide just like Reagan did in 1984. He is in trouble because the slow rate of job creation is seen as his fault and a failure of his policies by many voters even though they blame Bush for causing the recession, so any improvement it the economy is a +++ for him.

    Why would an improving economy hurt Obama's chances?? You must be smoking some of my meth

    A terrible economy would only help Republicans, maybe that is why they have blocked all Obama's job bills.

    It does make a difference, when you have a job and realize how much of your money goes to those that don't care to.

    Entitlement monkeys and the promise of their further entitlements are the cornerstone of liberal election hopes.
