President Obama told a Wisconsin town hall today that the unemployment rate is lower than it would be if the Recovery Act (the stimulus) had not passed.
Obama told the audience “unemployment's at 9.6%." That is above the 8% the administration predicted with the stimulus implemented.
“Yes, but it's not 12 or 13 or 15," Obama said defending his policy.
The economy "recovered more than people expected last year," he added.
"Things aren't as bad as they could have been, this could have been a catastrophe, in that sense it [the stimulus] worked," Obama claimed.

Obama is an idiot.
You can always argue “it could have been worse.” This is child-like.
Actually, the U6 rate is about 17% IIRC, Mr. Obama. Soon enoough the U3 will catch up, IMO.
Manure Mouth....
Depression is recovery.
Spilled oil is opportunity.
Ignorance is strength.
I thought unemployment was at 14%...in Wisconsin where he was preaching
??
“It could be worse..it could be raining!”
or 17, or 19 or 21 or.......
Mr.Obama belittles anyone who disagrees with him as he divides the nation....this man is decidedly NOT presidential!
Every black politician in America should hate this man’s guts for ruining the chance of ever having another black President...
From now on, he and Imbiben should be referred to as “Senator and Vice-Senator”....
Hey, Barry, YOU LIE!
Of the many accusations thrown at the POTUS, ‘mature’ has never been utttered.
“Obama is an idiot.”
***
And so are all those people who believe him...such as his audience today.
The BLS unemployment rate is 9.7% as of the end of May. The Employment Situation for June 2010 is scheduled to be released on July 2, 2010, at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time. It sounds like Obama may have announced early what the June rate is.
