Obama by the numbers

Obama’s Numbers (January 2016 Update)
A statistical measure of the U.S. on crime, guns, jobs, health insurance and more under Barack Obama.
By Brooks Jackson
Posted on January 12, 2016
Summary
Since President Barack Obama first took office:
- Homicides have dropped 13 percent, but gun sales have surged.
- The economy has added more than 9 million jobs, and the jobless rate has dropped to below the historical median.
- The number of long-term unemployed Americans has dropped by 614,000 under Obama, but it is still 761,000 higher than at the start of the Great Recession.
- Corporate profits are up 166 percent; real weekly wages are up 3.4 percent.
- There are 15 million fewer people who lack health insurance.
- Wind and solar power have nearly tripled, and now account for more than 5 percent of U.S. electricity.
- The federal debt has more than doubled — rising 116 percent — and big annual deficits have continued.
Those are just some of our findings in our latest installment of Obama’s Numbers.
Analysis
As we do every three months, we offer here a fresh update of selected statistical indicators of what has happened since Barack Obama first took the oath of office in January 2009. We leave it to our readers to judge how much credit or blame the president deserves for what has happened on his watch, and we caution that no single number or collection of numbers can tell the entire story. What we offer here are some key yardsticks from sources we consider solid and reliable.

The “factcheck.org” chart plays fast and loose with the facts ignoring the details of each claim.
Obama promises and failures:
1.) His ““bold new plan” to enact free community college failed to happen.
2.) failed to secure formal approval from Congress to use force against the Islamic State
3.) resorted to executive action when legislative proposals tanked.
4.) Claims that “America is secure and more prosperous the United States has ever been” which is preposterous.
5.) missed the mark entirely on a $3,000 tax credit he said would make quality child care more affordable.
6.) Failed to convince or work with Congress to approve an increase in the federal minimum wage.
7.) unveiled his America’s College Promise plan shortly after his State of the Union address last year but never followed through.
8.) vowed to make paying back student loans easier and again never followed through.
9.) push for seven days of paid sick leave and never followed through.
10.) Signed executive orders to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens only to have the courts stop his illegal exec. orders.
11.) Touted a “historic” climate change agreement which turned out to be worthless and unenforceable.
12.) More than half on the so-called Obamacare Health Insurance Exchanges have failed forcing millions to buy expensive private plans your go back on the uninsured lists.
13.) Claims adding over 9 million jobs while not mentioning that over 60% are part-time or very low wage.
14.) Promised to “fix” the nation’s broken mental health system then immediately ignored the problem.
15.) Drew two red-lines (Syria, Ukraine) and when they were crossed Obama failed to act.
16.) Used EPA thugs to shut down the coal industry throwing over 80,000 Americans out of work.
17.) Continues to refuse to deport convicted criminal illegal immigrants who are free to roam the streets to murder, rob and assault American citizens.
18.) Works to restrict American citizen’s 2nd amendment right to defend themselves while plea-bargaining criminals who commit gun felonies down to misdemeanors or just drop the charges.
19.) Has overseen the slowest economic recovery from a recession in history.
20.) Is importing a minimum of 65,000 Syrian refugees, which will actually be far more than 150,000, claiming that they are “fully vetted widows and 3 year-olds” when in fact the majority are young men that cannot be vetted and dumps them in States without notifying those States.
21.) Refuses to lower the world’s highest corporate tax rates which would stop companies from fleeing the U.S. and bring back the trillions corporations are forced to keep overseas.
22.) Claims that U.S. crude production is up 87% but that is on private land. Oil from federal land is down and the U.S. is still forced to buy crude from nations that foment terrorism.
23.) Median income for the middle class has dropped 8.1%.
24.) Released Al Qaeda prisoners back to the battlefield to kill more people.
25.) Claims that gun purchase background checks are up but the FBI Director says that the background check system is broken.
26.) The U.S. stock market if off almost 20% already in 2016.
27.) Has added more to the national debt than all previous U.S. presidents combined.
28.) Continues to ignore the threat of ISIS on the homeland while re-branding Islamic Extremist Terrorism as gun violence.
29.) Race relations in the U.S. have suffered significantly during Obama’s administration.
And on and on… Obama, the Amateur president is an abject failure.

Bull.
The "factcheck.org" is pure liberal spin and lacks the salient details.
On "jobs", they use BLS top sheet statistics generally considered manipulated by the Obama administration and leave out the fact that the jobs added are primarily part-time and very low wages.
Again use tout false and misleading data in your attempt to prop-up a failed president.

Why would I try to defend you?

This Obama by the numbers thread started off with a cute graphic that for the most part falsely presented Obama accomplishments. I exposed it for the farce it is then the far-left ideologues, unable to defend the sham and disgrace of the Obama presidency resort to taking juvenile shots at me.
Just another day in the liberal’s alternate universe.

You exposed nothing other than the fact that you have nothing. Every fact in the OP is verifiable. Everything you said is opinion. Learn the difference.

Remember, you all need to defend your opinions and beliefs to some random dude on the internet known as "Muleman1994." Until you do that, you're all lesser beings.

This thread started with a cute graphic intentionally created to prop-up Obama's failed presidency.
I picked on item, jobs, and showed why the jobs gained number is a false assertion.
My post showing the “jobs” number asserted to be crap is easy to validate if you know how to look up the data. It is a simple search; even you should be able to acquire the information.
What are the two primary sources, for labor statistics?
Go one step further. What is the labor participation rate and why is it a critical part of understanding the labor market?
