This is addressed to the poster who continually posts taking aim at anything and everything that is Republican, even though he "throws a bone" at them every once in awhile on something non committal.

He constantly and without end backs whatever our President does or does not do. It appears to him that the man does no wrong.

I have asked him about one of the accusations with no response. The one where he said that President Bush brought down the auto industry and he said exactly that and then just continued on.

My friend, I am a Republican. I do not support most of what our President does for any number of reasons, BUT I never say he is always wrong and actually on this forum applauded some of the things he did when his tenure began.

I tell you this because, I am not like you and so short sighted that I simply post a percentage here or a percentage here. Whatever will support the President. I prefer to do multiple reading to get context on the subject matter.

You speak of unemployment....there is a quandry facing this country and because it is not politically expediant it is not talked about very much and you will find it offensive I am sure....

I simply want to make a point about how you post and why you get such grief.

This....

"The percentage of adult Americans working or actively looking for a job stands at 62.6 percent, the lowest level in nearly four decades."

That is from Bureau of Labor Statistics. IF this information was something that made Obama look good you would find a way to post how wonderful he has done and use that statement as a tool.

In fact it is TRUE, but there are so many variables as there are with most of what you spout....you miss the context and simply mouth what you hear that suits your need to post.

The preference would be that you study it and stop making accusations. Let go of the racist claims.let go of the blame Bush for everything.

Now on labor parcticipation.....read a bit and maybe you want to discuss it...LOWEST PARTICIPATION IN FORTY YEARS.

As Paul Harvey used to say...."Here is the rest of the story"..

"In a nutshell, the baby boomers have aged and are now finally retiring en masse. After bulging into the workplace in the 1970s, women are no longer the force in the labor market they once were. Younger people are opting to educate themselves rather than work. And a less-than-friendly tone toward immigrants is shrinking the supply for some high-skilled jobs.

All told, it's likely to be a drag on the U.S. economy for years to come.

The U.S. economy has created 11.5 million new jobs during the last 57 consecutive months of domestic labor force expansion. And there were nearly 5.4 million open jobs at the end of May – more than twice as many vacancies as there were six years ago.

And yet Americans are actually trickling out of work at an alarming rate. The country's labor force participation rate – which measures the share of Americans at least 16 years old who are either employed or actively looking for work – dipped last month to a 38-year low, clocking in at an underwhelming 62.6 percent.

Unemployed individuals who haven't actively looked for a job in the last four weeks, for any number of reasons, actually slip away from the Labor Department's unemployment calculations. So although the unemployment rate ticked down to a seven-year low of 5.3 percent in June, that number didn't do justice to the 640,000 individuals who exited the labor market last month and the nearly 94 million people who were neither employed nor looking for work.

Point is before you make such rash accusation and statements as calling me and others racist, which you did a few times or blame someone for everything or defend the President as if he were the God you think he is....READ and do not just read the stuff that is put out to make a POLITICAL case.
