When Bush was president:

"Democrats have seized on the troubled job market to boost their election prospects. Bush insists, however, that the situation is turning around, albeit slowly. "It's happening. It's happening," Bush said in an NBC "Meet the Press" interview televised Sunday. "There is good momentum when it comes to the creation of new jobs." Nationally, the jobless rate fell to 5.6 percent in January, the lowest level in more than two years, as employers stepped up hiring -- but not fast enough to ally concerns about the prolonged job drought."

Nah-no bias.
