“Labor participation is affected much less by short-term job creation, and much more by long-term demographic trends. As this chart from the BLS shows, as the Baby Boomers entered the workforce and societal acceptance of women working changed, labor participation grew.
“Now that ‘Boomers’ are retiring we are seeing the percentage of those seeking employment decline. This has nothing to do with job availability, and everything to do with a highly predictable aging demographic.
“What’s now clear is that the Obama administration policies have outperformed the Reagan administration policies for job creation and unemployment reduction. Even though Reagan had the benefit of a growing Boomer class to ignite economic growth, while Obama has been forced to deal with a retiring workforce developing special needs. During the eight years preceding Obama there was a net reduction in jobs in America. We now are rapidly moving toward higher, sustainable jobs growth.”

Obama Outperforms Reagan On Jobs, Growth And Investing
Conventional wisdom is that President Obama has not created jobs, or grown the economy. But data shows he has outperformed President Reagan, and every other modern president
Our emergency rooms are filled with them and nearly 100 of them have closed in the last five years because of losses. A few years ago a Congressman called him a liar during the State Of The Union Speech. It was at the point when he was claiming that Illegals would not receive medical care under the ACA. Two months later Democrats pushed through a bill allotting $25 Million to health care clinics in agricultural areas. Any idea who is using that subsidy?
The impact of these people will hurt us for decades. The US stopped immigration for 50 years in order to allow the those who had come in to prior to 1920 to acculturate and move out fo their ghettos. My neighborhood in Brooklyn Calabrese was heard more than English. That neighborhood is now gone and all Hispanic. In my present home, Charlotte two huge sections of the city have become totally Latino. We have children starting school who were born here who do not speak English when they start school. Because of the continuous high influx of Spanish speakers these areas will never acculturate.
The media has covered up and protected this man from the get go. His "autobiographies are fabricated, he would use the last name of his mentor "Frank" because we would know it was Frank Morgan, a man on the FBI's top 10 list of people to be picked up in a war with the Soviet Union. His mother, father and grandparents were Communists. He has stated that when he started college he immediately looked the Communists on campus. His neighbor William Ayres and his wife Bernadette Dorhn were fugitives for years for bombings and are Communists. Obama denied really knowing the man yet he announced his candidacy at a party in Ayres' home and Ayres wrote the preface to one of his books.
He taught college courses on Saul Alinskie's "Rules For Radicals". (Hilary Clinton wrote her 92 page thesis on them.)
We are teetering on the edge of the destruction of this country and its ideals. Another presidency like this one will finish us off.
The military has been remiss in its duty to the Constitution and should have removed this hater of it long ago.
Wouldn't it be pathetic of you to say that?

— President Obama is poised to sign an executive order in Boston requiring federal contractors to offer employees up to seven paid sick days a year, a move that could benefit more than 300,000 workers. The announcement will come momentarily during a Labor Day speech in Boston, part of an effort to push Congress to approve legislation that would provide similar benefits for millions of private sector workers. “The president’s trip aims to highlight a Massachusetts law, approved by voters in November, that provides employees with up to 40 hours of sick leave per year,” David Nakamura reports. “An estimated 44 million private sector workers — about 40 percent of the workforce — do not have access to paid sick leave, according to the White House.”
You have to be a moron to vote for a GOP candidate - for anything.

With a crowded field of 17 candidates, the GOP’s 2016 presidential slate features at least two leading Republican candidates who have risen to right-wing notoriety by pushing laws stripping collective bargaining rights from most public employees and another favorite who insists that Americans should just “work longer hours.” And that’s just a start.
So on this Labor Day, here are 10 times Republican presidential candidates have given American workers a giant middle finger."

Regarding your meme above... Can you name anyone in office who have argued that people shouldn't be able to choose the Union of their choice?
He embodies what Dr. King said - "The answer to racism is excellence."

Feeling that he had failed to sufficiently address and explain the context of his relationship with the Reverend, Obama began writing the speech that became "A More Perfect Union". Obama's usual speechwriting practice during the 2008 campaign was to discuss major themes with speechwriter Jon Favreau, let Favreau write a draft, and then edit the result.[14] However, on Saturday, March 15, Obama dictated a lengthy draft of this speech to Favreau, who edited the speech the next day. Obama stayed up until 3:00 a.m. Sunday night working on the speech, and continued to work on it Monday and in the early hours of Tuesday. He sent his final draft of the speech to Favreau and campaign strategist David Axelrod.[15] After reading Obama's final draft, Axelrod sent him an email saying "This is why you should be president."[16]
A More Perfect Union (speech) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A More Perfect Union"[1][2] is the name of a speech delivered by then Senator and future President Barack Obama on March 18, 2008 in the course of the contest for the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination.[2] Speaking before an audience at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Obama was responding to a spike in the attention paid to controversial remarks made by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor...
