The link to my previous thread specifically is about GDP. We should also note that you still haven't provided ANY evidence supporting your statement. Did I say ANY?
Then why are you brushing the evidence off that says unemployment did go up under obama.

And yes I did.. I linked right to the CBO reports.. Maybe its your inability to read anything that proves your hero's policies are a failure that makes it difficult for you to actually comprehend whats provided.

But as John Adams said, “Facts are stubborn things; and what ever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they can not alter the state of facts, and evidence.”
It's the predictable and amusing denial of the desperate we witness. They do amuse, don't they?

As far as unemployment not rising under Obama, I know nothing except no one from the Obama camp has ever argued that position. Every financial guru and program has been consistent in their agreement that the UErate is interpretive at best and the rate of unemployment is higher than the standard rate issued.

Obama regime has set precedent in presenting economic results that are nothing but stastical projections or employs never before used reference points to showcase thier claims. Smoke and mirrors would best describe Obama's view of the US and global economy.

DWS is just a fearful nightmare in the form of a woman whose threatening rhwetoric represents the new social and political ideology that uses intimidation and lies to gain power.
Good points. This is the same partisan hack, who said that 0bama owns our economy, not because its so bad, but because she thinks he turned it around, and it's greatly improved. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: "We own the economy" - Molly Ball - POLITICO.com

The only way unemployment numbers can go down under 0bama, is when Americans just give up looking for a job, and simply leave the US work force. How else can we have anemic job numbers like last month, and see the UE percentage drop by almost 5%?

The facts are clear. Unemployment rises were on a 45 degree upward slop from from all of 2008 and ending in April 2009. Only a moron would think that simply having a new resident in the WH would change the slop. Then, the slope diminished and then reversed.

I need to remind the Republicans here that Saint Reagan experienced a worse case.



Reagan's unemployment kept rising until it peaked at near 11%. Then, it dropped at a similar time in his administration to Obama's. So, if you are going to blame Obama for a long period of unemployment, you need to do the same thing to Reagan.
