And yeah, this number means EXACTLY what it would have meant under Bush! (Or even Clinton.)
Bull-ogna.
If Bush was so horrible why are there numbers still worse that those when Bush was president? In his 7th year he has provided a better environment than Obama. Even if you accept these top level numbers, no one on the left can explain how Bush was terrible when unemployment was 4.7 and Obama is brilliant when it’s at 5.3.
