Yeah why not. Explain to us again how 95% of working age Americans are currently "employed" :crackup: Then we'll move on to bathhouse barry adding over 7 trillion to the national debt and losing the countries AAA credit rating due to overspending.
:crackup:
Unemployment is at 5.5%. Your right wing Fox Propaganda reported it when the numbers just came out. The credit rating was dropped when the Republicans shut down the government when they didn't get their way. Most of that debt was added when Bush didn't add the debt of the wars and his prescription drug program to the debt total. Our country was about to collapse under Bush. Also the auto industry was about to fail under Bush. Obama saved it. You gotta pay it off sometime right and the debt was cut in half and the economy is now booming. Bush was losing 250,000+ jobs a month. Obama is creating 250,000+ a month. Anything else?

How about we start with from now going back to 2000 nearly all or all net employment growth went to foreign-born legal and illegal workers
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/06/total-net-employment-gains-in-the-u-s-since-the-recession-still-went-to-foreign-born/. Then let's talk about how Obama is illegally attempting to legalize 5 million illegals giving them not just amnesty but work permits, driver licenses, social security cards and SS benefits, retroactive Earned Income credit and tax refunds, and eligibility for other tax-payer supported benefits, and making it easy for them to become fraudulent Democrat voters. How about we start there?
Right wing breibart site eh? Let's not forget in 2001 that George W Bush was President for 8 years who did nothing about illegal immigration. The House and Senate was controlled by Republicans who did nothing to end immigration. They let illegals stay illegal breaking the law. President Obama is trying to make them legal so they won't break the law by becoming productive tax paying citizens in order to stay here. Nothing illegal about that at all when they are paying their way. Don't forget Reagan gave amnesty to millions of illegals with no problem at all. He just handed it to them. Why don't you right wingers take issue with him instead of making him your messiah?

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
Those intelligence reports were doctored up and Clinton was going on the lies that the Bush Administration told to go to war. Even Colin Powell admitted the he shouldn't have gone before the UN to make a "case for war" with false evidence. Nice try.

Poll finds 20 of 21 countries strongly prefer Obama
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ies-strongly-prefer-obama-exception-pakistan/
A just-out BBC World Service poll surveying 22,000 people in 21 countries found a wide preference for President Obama in the presidential race, who scored 50 percent favorable among all respondents to Mitt Romney's 9 percent. Almost a quarter, 24 percent, gave some variation of an answer that it made no difference. Only 16 percent said they didn't know, a reminder of how closely the world follows American politics.
The poll surveyed many of the world's most populous countries. It emphasized famously Obama-friendly Western Europe but skipped Russia and the Arab Middle East. Here are the results from Globescan's report:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ies-strongly-prefer-obama-exception-pakistan/
The only country where Romney scored higher was Pakistan, which may be more about widespread opposition to the Obama administration's policies than is it about embracing Romney. Only 11 percent of Pakistanis said they wanted to see Obama reelected — by far his lowest score out of the countries surveyed — while 15 percent supported Romney, which is roughly consistent with his numbers in other countries. An earlier Pew pollfound only 7 percent confidence for Obama in Pakistan, with 60 percent expressing no confidence. The U.S. drone program in Pakistan's border region is a source of particular popular animus.
Obama scored extremely well in Canada, Australia, Africa, Western Europe (except Spain, where he received a relatively low 45 percent, though Romney got only 1 percent), as well as Panama and Brazil. Since 2008, when the poll was also conducted, pro-Obama sentiment has most significantly dropped in China, Mexico and Kenya; it rose by the widest margins in India and Panama.
Romney's best showing was in Kenya with 18 percent, perhaps reflecting a degree of disillusionment with Obama (John McCain scored only 5 percent there in the 2008 poll). His second-highest score was in Poland. "Eastern Europe has long seen Republicans as more sympathetic to their struggles with Russia, and former Polish president Lech Walesa endorsed Romney over the summer," The Post's Michael Birnbaum and Keith B. Richburgexplained Sunday. Broadly, though, his numbers in this poll are consistent with McCain's in 2008, suggesting the possibility that many foreign publics associate Republicans with the George W. Bush, whose administration was deeply unpopular abroad.
Neither candidate fared especially well in China or, more surprisingly, Japan. Chinese gave Obama 28 percent approval and Romney 9 percent, a single-digit but significant drop since 2008. Both citizens and government officials in China have been glued to the 2012 race, often expressing concern over the increasingly pointed rhetoric against Chinese policies.
Japanese opinion is more complicated, in part because polls have been inconsistent. Globescan says that 33 percent support Obama and 9 percent for Romney, pretty low given how highly Japanese seem to score the U.S. in other surveys. A Gallup poll found Japan's presidential job approval rating drop from 66 percent in 2009 to 46 percent in 2011. Pew reported that Japanese confidence in Obama had slipped from a sky-high 85 percent in 2009 to a still-high 74 percent this year; the same poll, though, found Japanese favorability toward the U.S. itself rising from 59 percent to 72 percent. Pew's analysts attributed this increase to the U.S. aid effort after the March 2011 Fukushima crisis, although it's not clear, then, why they would appear to rate Obama so poorly in the Globescan poll.
The countries where Obama leads together make up about 56.4 percent of the global population. Non-Americans sometimes joke — or gripe — that they should get a vote in U.S. presidential elections, given the winner's potential impact on their country and sometimes individual lives. If they did, it seems likely, based on this poll, that Obama would win.
