Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

don’t know why the mainstream media isn’t reporting it like this.
Okay, I do know why the mainstream media isn’t reporting it like this.
The news is that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke Wednesday handed President Obama some information that is not nice at all! Unemployment, currently at about 8.3 percent, is unlikely to decline any further. Might rise, even.
In testimony before Congress, Bernanke said unemployment will range between 8.2 and 8.5 percent by the end of the year.
The problem for Obama is that since 8.3 percent unemployment is awful, with millions of people suffering, he needs to show that things are getting better in order for everyone to like his candidacy. So far in the past year, it’s looked that way, with unemployment declining and Obama’s approval numbers edging up.
But that could be over.
Obama’s pitch is not that the economy is roaring, but that we’re on the right track and life is slowly getting better and happy days are not here again but they will be soon I promise.
But if unemployment is still around 8.3 percent on Election Day then life is not getting better.
The reason is clear. The economy is projected by Benernake to grow at between 2.2 percent and 2.7 percent, not enough to create much in the way of jobs. That means in the fourth year of his presidency, all Obama will be able to achieve is a middling growth rate, the exact same average rate – I hate to bring this up – as Jimmy Carter.
Fortunately for Obama, the unemployment rate isn’t what it was during the Carter years.
Wait a second, did I read that right? The average unemployment rate under Carter was 7.6 percent. I thought it said 76 percent. Sorry.
The Obama campaign, I assure you, is very concerned about this lastest Bernanke information. They now know that they will probably have to run on two theories: Things could have been worse, and Republicans want to kill poor people.
It’s not an appealing platform.

All Obama has to do to win is repeat one simple sentence: "Osama bin Laden is dead and the American auto industry is alive."
boom, 4 more years on a silver platter.

If Republicans were in charge now it would easily be 20%

Nice try. It was way better under Bush, the worst republican since Herbert Hoover.

Nice try. It was trending the wrong way under Bush. Obama reversed the momentum.

You mean Obama's laser-like focus on jobs "reversed" the momentum? Yeah right, tell that to the other jizz drinkers. All we can do is look at the present, and at present the economy is in the toilet, and Obama is in charge.
