The only thing Walker can state for real are the unemployment numbers, which by the way are rising, getting worse...oops; from 4.5 to 4.6%. Obama's unemployment stat depends a great deal on GOP states functioning correctly, employing people, which they're not. Obama's numbers look good, but could be better if not weighted down by austere Republican state policies.
And Walker thinks we're dumb enough to believe he can make such a comparison, especially after making unemployment harder to get and kicking everyone else off.
His tired old meaningless graphic drives me crazy. Is he that dishonest or what? I'm posting it here because it should embarrass him and his campaign on a more national level:

ReplyDeleteSheesh, John! Graeme Zielinski would be embarrassed by "analysis" that partisan. Doesn't it tell you something that Wisconsin's unemployment rate is lower than the U.S.
It should also tell you something that Obama has 50 states effecting his number, where Walker has just one, and that number is going up (at least for now). Remember, you and Walker want it both ways: Wis. didn't see a huge drop in employment during the Great Recession, so Walker is saying what he did was better than states that had more employment to make up. Now you're telling me Walker is a miracle worker and Obama is a failure. Walker should be so lucky to create proportionally the same number of jobs.
