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

[NYcarbineer]

Yes the recession was over. Until Democrats passed his legislation.
You just arent doing well here, dum-dum.

Would knowing how much fun we liberals have mauling you change your willingness to be mauled?

LOL! You've failed at every post you've made here. You just shwoed that Obama inherited a recession that had bottomed out already and an economy that was on the rise. He promptly turned that to the slowest growth "recovery" i n history. Yes, you've shown that.

History of U.S. Recessions Causes Lengths Stats


2008-2009 Recession
TheGreat Recessionwas the worst sincethe 1929 Depression. The economy shrank in five quarters, including four quarters in a row. Two quarters shrank more than 5%, including Q2 2008which fell a whopping 8.9%, more than any other recession since the Great Depression. The recession ended in Q3 2009, when GDP turned positive,thanks to economic stimulus spending. The recession was also the longest since the Depression, lasting 18 months.

2008

· Q1 -2.7% (0.4%)

· Q2 2.0% (1.5%)

· Q3 -1.9% (-2.7%)

· Q4 -8.2% (-5.4%)

2009

Auto Industry Bailout GM Ford Chrysler


The federal government took over GM and Chrysler in March 2009. It fired GM CEO Rick Wagoner, and required that Chrysler merge with Italy's Fiat SpA. It took advantage of the take-over, setting new auto efficiency standard to force the companies to become more competitive against Japanese and German firms.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Another Ribbid lie exposed. The Auto industry bailout did not occur until March 2009. W's recession was as deep as any that we have ever seen.

Bush had already bailed out the auto industry, over Congress' objections. March 2009 was 2 months after Obama assumed office. Most of the damage had been done. All he needed to do was nothing. But of course we cant let a crisis go to waste.

Right...."most of the damage had been done" is right. The damage you are speaking of is the George W Bush presidency, right?

He walked into that one like a cartoon character walking past the edge of a cliff and remaining suspended in mid air, until he realizes what he's done. lol

Bottomed out losing 700,000 jobs a month

What a great time to assume the presidency

Employment is a lagging indicator.
What you dont know would fill a universe.

How about the stock market that had dropped 6500 points or the five quarters of negative GDP?

How was that lagging?

Stock market was going up as Bush left office. Stock market is a leading indicator.

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...

06. George W. Bush: 5.27%

700,000 jobs a month were fleeing the country his last year in office.

Things were so bad america elected a black man.

And that man fixed what bush broke. If you're still unemployed its because either you are unemployable or you dont want to work.

Gas went down too. Tried to make you forget they fucked us for years with $4 gas.

In fact I know repubs who forget that happened on Bush's watch and played a key role in causing the recession. Many things were going wrong all at once. Almost like it was on purpose. Tarp gas prices jobs going overseas thome values dropped oo many illegals. All in Bush's last year. The great recession. Look it up if you forgot.

That is wrong. The job loss was in the last 3 months.
are you saying that people elected Obama because he was black and they were insane? True.
Obama "fixed" the economy like Adolph Hitler "fixed" the Jewish Problem.
Over 1M are unemployed in this country. Because the economy still sucks.

The UE rate went up to 10% and stayed above 8% until August 2012. Since the Republicans took control of the Congress the UE rate has gone down to 5.4%.

The GOP did that by moving workers to "not in the labor force" as the GOP dropped the LPR to its lowest since the 1970s.

Liar.

The stock market crashed from an Oct 11,2007 intra-day peak on 14,198.10 to a low of 6,443.27 on March 6, 2009, a 54% loss of value.

Obama called the bottom almost exactly to the day.

Remarks by President Obama and Prime Minister Brown after Meeting The White House

"What you're now seeing is profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you've got a long-term perspective on it,"

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

Barrack Obama: 8.86%

Average Unemployment Rates For US Presidents since World War II:

01. Lyndon Johnson: 4.19%
02. Harry Truman: 4.26%
03. Dwight Eisenhower: 4.89%
04. Richard Nixon: 5.00%
05. Bill Clinton: 5.20%
06. George W. Bush: 5.27%
07. John Kennedy: 5.98%
08. George H.W. Bush: 6.30%
09. Jimmy Carter: 6.54%
10. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
11. Gerald Ford: 7.77%
12. Barack Obama: 8.86%

This has got to be one of the most useless statistics I have ever seen. It does not take into consideration the beginning unemployment rate versus the ending rate. Even Reagan looks bad based on this.
