Thanks to the housing bubble which fueled the economy until it burst and took the economy down with it.Bush doubled the number of unemployed from 6 million to 12 million, and to you that was great.Meaning President Obama has added more than 9.3 million jobs since taking office
Both Bush's combined added 4.0 million jobs meaning Obama has over twice the jobs of the Bush's combined
When you lose a shit load of jobs under your watch, you need to add a lot more to make up for it. Obama will never be able to match the much lower unemployment averages the Bush's had while they were in office.
Obama has reduced the number of unemployed from 12 million to 7.9 million and you say that is bad because of some stupid meaningless average that hides the damage that Bush did to the economy.![]()
Generally, the economy was very good while Bush was in office. For most of those 96 months that he was in office, more people had jobs and an easier time finding jobs than they did while Obama was in office.
