Well, what you said may have been credible until you undid it with the last statement.
Unemployment averaged 5.5% during the Bush administration. Economists said the rating was considered full employment. The difference now is, ALL the people that are NOT seeking employment after losing their jobs and being out of work so long. There is a record amount of NOT EMPLOYED working age people in America now. The economy is not doing so good, and any/any economist will prove it to you with their statistics, such as GDP or whatever. I'm not the expert and don't claim to be. Bin Laden is dead? Yep, an unemployed terrorist is dead. Not that he was doing much in the time before he was killed. How many did he kill? I don't know, but I do know that Sadaam was responsible for killing almost half a million civilians using WMDs. So, if you want to compare sizes........
To summarize, consider this analogy. Bush had a glass that was full to the brim (full employment). Obama lost how many thousands of jobs? He was working with a glass almost empty and now it's about half full. His unemployment figures are a play on figures, even if you wish to deny it's reality.
There are a record number of families still on food stamps.
Poverty level is high
Middle class is making less
Health care insurance has gone up more than ever before.
You know, I can go on with an unlimited list to show you how wrong you are, but would it really do any good? Would you acknowledge it?
The comment was the idea of blaming Obama for this long. MY comment was that this administration is still using Bush as an excuse and blaming him. My suggestion is don't throw stones until you open your windows.
