Not to rehash old news but this thread should help you.

Er...
Bureau of Labor Statistics Data
He came in January 2009 with the unemployment rate at 7.8%, and now has it at 6.7%.
Clearly he has it at a higher level than when he came in, especially if you're smashed out on absinthe and can't look at stats without your eyes going all funny.
You can have this or that person interpreting the stats about how many people are actually in the labor force and for what reason.
The reality is the unemployment rate is what it is. It isn't great.
Also, I'm not a great believer in what the president can actually do for the economy.
Whoever was president, the economy would probably be picking itself up by now, it's slow going, but considering the size of the economic mess from 2008, you're looking at a few more years before you get back to low 5% or 4% unemployment rates.
oh neat......
