More Honors for Barack Obama:1 in 2 New College Graduates Are Unemployed or Underemployed … They Very People Who Backed Him in 2008

Hey youth of America, how is that “Hopey – Changey” stuff working out for ya these days?

Barack Obama promised hope and change to the youth of America. He promised them jobs, happiness and unicorns. Obama promised them the world and has delivered, um, pretty much nothing. The youth who mobilized for Obama in 2008 are now presented with the following, one in two graduates are unemployed or underemployed.

VIDEO Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit

The college class of 2012 is in for a rude welcome to the world of work.

A weak labor market already has left half of young college graduates either jobless or underemployed in positions that don’t fully use their skills and knowledge.

Young adults with bachelor’s degrees are increasingly scraping by in lower-wage jobs — waiter or waitress, bartender, retail clerk or receptionist, for example — and that’s confounding their hopes a degree would pay off despite higher tuition and mounting student loans.

An analysis of government data conducted for The Associated Press lays bare the highly uneven prospects for holders of bachelor’s degrees.

Hope and change baby. I wonder if any of these duped folks will be so supportive of Obama in 2012?

More Failure from Obamanomics … 5.4 Million Join Disability Rolls Under Obama

Barack Obama, what a legacy … The Rise of the Nanny State as more and more Americans become dependent on government.

Thanks to Barack Obama’s economic policies and Obamanomics a record number of Americans find themselves on food stamps and disability. A record number 5.4 million workers and their dependents have signed up to collect federal disability checks since President Obama took office. UNREAL. American workers have given up looking for jobs, exhaust their unemployment benefits and then sign up for federal disabilities.

A record 5.4 million workers and their dependents have signed up to collect federal disability checks since President Obama took office, according to the latest official government data, as discouraged workers increasingly give up looking for jobs and take advantage of the federal program.

Obamanomics Epic Fail … CBO States Food Stamp Rolls Explode By 70%

From the CBO comes the following, Barack Obama,  The Food Stamp President …

The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, a 70% increase from 2007. It said the number of people receiving the benefits, commonly known as food stamps, would continue growing until 2014.

Spending for the program, not including administrative costs, rose to $72 billion in 2011, up from $30 billion four years earlier. The CBO projected that one in seven U.S. residents received food stamps last year.

Good grief, is it any wonder why Barack Obama is trying to divide and deflect as a political strategy for 2012 reelection? If he actually ran on his record he would be rode out of town on a rail. What a pathetic weak recovery due to nothing more than the policies and socialist Obama agenda.

Former VP Dick Cheney Calls Obama an ‘Unmitigated Disaster to the country’ … As They Say, If the “Unmitigated” Shoe Fits …

Well is the “unmitigated disaster” fits Mr President …

Dick Cheney can best be described as new heart, same passion … Just three weeks after Dick Cheney’s heart transplant surgery, the former Vice President made the following comment referring to President Barack Obama, “He has been an unmitigated disaster to the country.”    Cheney went on to say that he could not remember a more important time to defeat an incumbent President like Barack Obama. Cheney certainly knows how to drive the LEFT crazy. However, if one actually looks at Obama’s record, even the LEFT, they know that Obama has been a failure as President.

Dick Cheney, just weeks after undergoing heart transplant surgery, plunged back into the political theater Saturday — praising presumptive nominee Mitt Romney while slamming President Obama as an “unmitigated disaster.”

The tough words came during an hour-and-15-minute talk at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention in Cheyenne on Saturday.

He sat in a plush chair throughout the long chat with daughter Liz Cheney and looked decidedly healthier than recent appearances where he has been gaunt and used a cane.

The United States has record federal debt, record people of food stamps, 8.2% unemployment, a 30 year low of employer participation in the work force, wasted Stimulus tax payer funds, continued housing foreclosures and gas prices doubled during his tenure. Add in Obamacare, the failed green energy scandals like Solyndra and the “Fast & Furious” scandal.  So how is Obama not an “unmitigated disaster”?

At the Summit of the Americas, Barack Obama Describes His Responsibilities … “Part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation”

More from the Vacationer in Chief …

Finally Barack Obama describes what he thinks his real job responsibilities are as President. No wonder President Obama has not focused on jobs, unemployment, a coherent energy policy or reducing the debt, he is too busy with his real job responsibility of scoping out new vacation spots. UNREAL.

Just two days after President Barack Obama gave a sharply edged response to news anchor Larry Conners of KMOV in St. Louis after Conners had asked the president about Americans who “get frustrated and even angered when they see the first family jetting around [to] different vacations and so forth,” Obama told a panel at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia that part of his job there was to scout out locations for a future vacation with First Lady Michelle Obama.

“I want to thank President Santos and the people of Colombia for the extraordinary hospitality in the beautiful city of Cartagena,” said Obama. “We’re having a wonderful time. And usually when I take these summit trips, part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation.  So we’ll make sure to come back sometime in the near future.”

Weasel Zippers has a suggestion for Obama and his responsibilities to find future vacation places, “please take her to North Korea where the two of you may enjoy their single-payer system for the rest of your miserable lives.”

Obama and his minions talk about Mitt Romney being out of touch with the American people. There is a perception with many that during these harsh economic times where families cannot afford one vacation a year, Barack Obama and the first family take far too many vacations on the tax payers dime. Now Obama would make such a comment? Sorry Mr. President but to borrow your own words, where’s the fairness? This feeling is echoed at the Gateway Pundit where they refer to the recent embarrassing interview with Larry Conners, where he [Obama] was called out for angering Americans with all of the lavish vacations the Obamas have taken. This President has no shame and appears to care less that Americans can’t afford the cost of gas and many barely get by from pay check to pay check.

We have just come up with Obama 2012 election slogan … Let them Eat Cake 2012.

Turbo Tax Cheat Timmy Geithner Praises Obamanomics … President Obama’s Economic Policies “Were Incredibly Effective”

WHAT ALTERNATE UNIVERSE DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN … OBAMA’S ECONOMIC POLICIES EFFECTIVE, BUT ROMNEY IS RIDICULOUS …

WOW, talk about an Obama White House with some balls and complete disdain for “We the People”.  Was it lost on anyone today that the Obama WH trotted out a tax cheat like Treasury Secretary “Turbo Tax” Tim Geithner to be the mouth piece for Obama on April 15th, tax day?

Really, “Obama’s economic policies have been incredibly effective” &  I blame all my ills  n Turbo Tax

It gets better, or worse as the case may be. In an interview on ABC’s ‘This Week’ with George Stephanopoulos, Tim Geithner called Romney’s argument that women have been disproportionately hurt during the recession “a ridiculous argument”. Really? The numbers are accurate, yet the Obamaites continue the spin. What is even more unbelievable is that the Obama WH is continuing the failed “war on women” meme. But, as also stated at Jammie Wearing Fool, when one has nothing else to run on but failed polices, a distraction is all Obama has.

“It’s a ridiculous argument. Ridiculous. It’s been largely debunked this week by the people who have looked at it,” Geithner told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week. “It’s a ridiculous way to look at the problem. And this is a political moment and you’re going to be seeing — just to borrow a line from Mario Cuomo — ‘you’re going to see a lot of politicians choose to campaign in fiction, but we have to govern in fact.’”

While “Turbo Tax” Timmy is on the subject of ridiculous, what would anyone call it when some one says that Barack Obama’s economic polices have been incredibly effective? Seriously Mr. Treasury Secretary, one has to wonder how you kept a straight face when making such a false and foolish comment.

49% of Americans Trust Romney with the Economy, Only 39% Trust President Obama’s Obamanomics

Obamanomics a bust: When reviewing the #1 issue for the 2012 elections, only 39% trust Obama with the economy …

President Barack Obama has a huge obstacle to overcome with regards to the state of the US economy and his reelection chances in 2012. The economy/jobs is the number one issue and Obama’s policies have been found wanting.  Obama’s first term in office has been a disaster when it comes to the economy, jobs and spending.  In a recent Rasmussen poll, 49% of Americans trust Romney when it comes to the US economy, only a mere 39% trust Obama.

Voters now have more confidence in presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney than in President Obama when it comes to the economy, but on other major issues facing the nation, the two men continue to run nearly even.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey asks Likely U.S. Voters whom they trust more on five key issues, and when it comes to the economy, 49% say Romney versus 39% who trust the president more. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

With an unemployment rate still at 8.2%, a poor showing of job creation in March 2012, an unsustainable record federal debt, waisted tax payer dollars with the Obama stimulus and a failed green energy agenda that has invested a lot of govt $’s with few jobs to show, is it any wonder why few have faith in Obama when it comes to the economy. Add to the discussion that the true unemployment rate is closer to 12% and the underemployment rate to a high of 20.3%

What is the #2 issue for voters, health care of course. When it comes to Obamacare, a new high of 61% expect the government take over of healthcare to be repealed. As the US Supreme Court reviews the Constitutionality, 54% of voters expect the SCOTUS to overturn Obamacare.

Obama March Unemployment Numbers Very Disappointing … Only120K Added, Expectations 205K … AlltIme High Record Number of Americans Not in Work Force

BIG SWING AND MISS FOR OBAMA’S REELECTION … LOOKS LIKE  FED CHAIRMAN BEN BERNANKE WAS CORRECT IN HIS WARNINGS WHEN HE EXPRESSED DOUBTS THAT RECENT JOB GAINS COULD BE SUSTAINED.

Um, Missed It By How Much?

What was that sound?  It was the unmistakable thud of a this mornings announcement that only a mere 102,000 jobs were added to the work force when all of the economic experts had predicted 205,000 jobs. A miss of epic proportions and so underwhelming that coupled with rising gas prices could spell doom for Obama.

88 MILLION AMERICANS NOT IN THE WORK FORCE … THE OBAMA LEGACY

CNBC reported that only 102,000 jobs were added in March 2012. However, the exerts had predicted that 205,000 were to be added. Oops, missed it by 100,00+.  The unemployment rate dropped from 8.3% to 8.2%; however, it had nothing to do with job growth. It had everything to do with the fact that a record all-time high number of Americans are not in the labor force.  As reported at Zero Hedge, the number of people not in the labor force is back to all time highs: 87,897,000.

U.S. payrolls rose far less than expected in March, keeping the door open for further monetary policy support from the Federal Reserve, even as the unemployment rate fell to a three-year low of 8.2 percent.

Employers added 120,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, the smallest increase since October.

Economists polled by Reuters had expected nonfarm employment to increase 203,000 and the unemployment rate  to hold at 8.3 percent.

It would appear that Fed Chairman Bernanke was spot on in his analysis when he provided a warning last month when he stated payroll gains might slow as companies adjust their labor needs for a period of moderate growth. BINGO! Also, as stated by Weasel Zippers, the MSM will never tell you that there is now an All-time high of 88 million not in the work force. However, guess what Barack Obama and Democrats … the 88 million are aware they are not in the work force and will be voting in November 2012.

OBAMANOMICS: 49% Trust Republicans on Economy, Only 38% Trust Democrats

Majority of Americans Trust GOP with economy rather than Democrats with Obamanomics … 

With the economy being the #1 issue for the 2012 election, polls show that Americans trust Republicans with the economy by a 49% to 38% more than Democrats. This double digit deficit can hardly be looked upon as a positive by Barack Obama or Democrats heading into the 2012 elections. The continued unemployment rate above 8%, ever rising gas prices, out of control national debt and poor job growth recovery will have a negative impact on those who have embraced Obamacare and Obama’s policies.

As they have for nearly three years now, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats when it comes to handling the economy, by far  the top issue on a list of 10 regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports.  They put slightly more trust in Democrats on health care, the second most important issue.

Forty-nine percent (49%) of Likely U.S. Voters now trust the GOP with economic issues, while 38% trust the Democrats more. That’s the highest level of confidence in the Republicans since last October.

The Most Divisive President Ever … Barack Obama Accuses Republicans of “Madness”

President Barack Obama accuses Republicans of madness, is it any wonder that Obama has been the most divisive and polarizing President ever? Remember when Barack Obama said, “there is not a liberal America, and a conservative America, there is the United States of America”? I guess that was before Obama decided to call GOP policies on fixing the economy and creating jobs madness. That is exactly the “uniter” thing that Obama did while making a speech in Maine criticizing the GOP and name calling.

President Barack Obama accused Republicans of clinging to economic policies that preceded the Great Depression and the more recent economic downturn, saying his rivals are showing signs of “madness.”

Raising campaign cash in Maine on Friday, March 30, Obama said Republicans want to return to economic policies that would let Wall Street play by its own set of rules and allow insurance companies to roll back health coverage.

“We won’t win the race for new jobs and new businesses and middle-class security if we cling to this same old, worn-out, tired ‘You’re on your own’ economics that the other side is peddling,” Obama said.

Worn out and tired policies. Is Obama speaking of his own policies he has been peddling the last three years?  Barack Obama may want to take a look at the “madness” of his own economic, energy and healthcare policies. As the Gateway Pundit stated, “the policies that are not working belong to Barack Obama. The fact that this is the weakest recovery in history proves Obama’s policies failed, not his predecessors.”

Once thing is for certain, Barack Obama is the most partisan, polarizing and divisive President ever. If you do not believe so, take a look at the facts.

1. Who was the most partisan President ever in first year of Presidency?
2. Who was the most partisan President ever in second year of Presidency?
3. Who was the most partisan President ever in third year of Presidency?
