Dear Obama: It's the jobs, stupid!

 It's the jobs, stupid!

Remember that?  It was a slightly different slant, but it had the same ring; "It's the economy , stupid!"  That is all you heard when Clinton ran; and so I ask now, where are all those calls now?

One look at the following data and graph will give anyone all they need to know about how Obama has done on jobs and the economy.

This site has all the details, but I will detail the jobs and the nonexistent recovery.
Civilian Employment-Population Ratio (EMRATIO)

Look at this graph:
Civilian Employment-Population Ratio (EMRATIO)

It shows you the Civilian Employment-Population Ratio (EMRATIO), which simply put, relates the number of people by the number of people that actually have jobs.  I have moved the graph from circa 2000 to today.

For anyone that wants to vote for Obama, I ask you to follow along and then ask yourself how you can still vote for this man.

-- the shaded areas are recessions.
-- note how there is no recovery at all
-- note that all other recoveries happened by this time already
-- note that the CBO sees deeper "fiscal cliff" recession next year

Any other president would be gone on these facts; so please tell me how you can still vote for Obama?  Only by putting your political ideology above the good of the country can you still vote his way.

It's the jobs, stupid!

Obama has to go and not a minute too soon.  Worse times are on the horizon and we need a President that will put jobs first!  I am not sure there has ever been a perfect president, but I do know that I will be voting against Obama based solely on the jobs and economy.
