The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

[NYcarbineer]

And if the labor force participation rate was the same today as when Obama took office the actual UE rate would be over 10%. Most of the reduction was people giving up looking for work.

There is no such thing as a constant LPR. And most of the people "giving up" looking for work are retirees who no longer need or want to work. as I have said, everyone knows the drop in LPR is due to the demographics of Boomers retiring but that will only be taken into consideration if a Republican is elected president in 2016 and the LPR continues to drop.

You know that the the rules are not the same for the GOP. It is amazing that they shout "the sky is falling" now when under W, the sky was really falling.....not a peep...

People were better off under Bush. The UE rate was lower the day Bush left office than at any time under Obama until maybe 6 months ago. And that improvement is solely from people dropping out of the workforce and collecting disability.

You want to take a poll on USMB and ask how the economy that W left crashing has affecting them? Many people, including yours truly, are still trying to recover from the mess that W left.

You're not being fair. lol

Argumentum ad populum fallacy detected.
It doesnt matter what a poll shows. The facts are as I laid out.

I think Obama has now passed Reagan, or is very close to it.

I saw that coming too. Hilarious.

Passed Reagan as what? Spender? He did that his first year.

As having a better UE rate for his term, which happens to be the subject of the thread.

Cherry picking data is your speciality. Probably because you cannot hold two different thoughts in mind at once.

True. His inability to get ahead is his own fault. If not his fault, certainly Obama's. It is amazing that after 8 years of control the Democrats still get a pass on their failed policies from some people.

The RW historical revisionist on the board want everyone to think that W left office with everything rosy and the economy humming. He left the worse economic crisis since the great depression. Now their cry is, "LET US TRY THAT AGAIN!"

Ad absurdum fallacy detected. No one said everything was rosy. But it got a lot worse under Obama.
You're not doing well here. If it werent for fallacies you'd have no arguments at all.

 

[JimH52]

The free fall began under W. It took years for the Obama administration to finally turn things around. Even with the GOP congress fighting ever step of the way, the economy is making a recovery. The GOP has done everything it could to keep the economy from recovering. They are failing. Maybe President Hillary Clinton will complete the process.

Or we can elect someone from the clown car and welcome back big deficits with military spending through the roof, as we invade the wrong country again.

06. George W. Bush: 5.27%

A UE rate that started at around a stable 4% and ended around 8% and skyrocketing. No wonder the Right wants to use an average, except when comparing Carter's better average to Reagan's.

 

[edthecynic]

The UE rate was lower the day Bush left office than at any time under Obama until maybe 6 months ago.

And if by 6 months you mean over 2 years you would be correct.

More lies from a pathological liar!

As I already showed Obama's UE rate has been below Bush's final skyrocketing rate for more than 2 years, and in fact, during the last 4 years the number of disability awards has been DECREASING.

LOL! Revisionism much?
Obama took over after the banks had been stabilized. The UE rate began to climb and continued to do so. The Democrat clown Congress passed Dodd Frank, ACA and other laws that undermined confidence. Only when the GOP took the House in 2010 did UE begin to decline.

Not by all the people. just the rabid cult member's on here. The Majority of the people didn't vote them into Minority in Congress, FOR NO REASON. some just refuses to accept or come to terms with it yet...
