The U.S. unemployment rate "matches the longest stretch at such an elevated level since World War II."

Shout it from the mountain tops.

I'm sure the MSM will say this, but let me be the first: With the economy that Obama inherited so unexpectedly bad, we sure are lucky that Obama and Pelosi were smart enough to spend $3.5T on TARP, Bailout, Stimulus, and other economy-boosting legislation in the past two years. Just imagine how bad this would have been without their valiant Keynesian efforts to protect working Americans! [Anyone on CNN or MSNBC who dared to suggest that the massive European-style socialist spending surge is the reason for the continued European performance of our economy would immediately be fired.]

If they would use honest figures it would equal the unemployment rate during most of the “great depression”. What we have is a monumental collapse and barring some miraculous recovery which would be totally “unexpected” this will make the thirties look like a picnic before it is over and most of it is deliberately created.
