"U.S. employers slashed 651,000 nonfarm positions in February 2009, pushing the monthly unemployment rate to 8.1%, the highest level since December 1983. February marks the third straight month that job losses exceeded 600,000, the first time that happened since 1939. The monthly job losses of 651K are also the largest since 1949."
This links to the BLS but you'd have to look inside there to find the BLS stats for 2/09.
Anyway, just so you memory-impaired right wingers can keep some perspective. Check out those figures!
IMO you owe a big fat apology to the current resident of the WH for your memory problems and resultant misguided behavior. You can blame it on your "news" sources.

Yawn. The "current resident" is a sham, and you know it. Now, what was your point, delu?

The point is, DP, that you all rail and squeal about the high unemployment rates of the current day yet conveniently forget -- I can only suppose because you're not reminded of it by your "news" sources -- that it was once WAY, WAY worse! We dont hear a peep about how improved the scene is now, on Rush and Sean and them. I wonder why not.
You attack Obama for the current unemployment rate and refuse to be honest.

That's my point.
And you have no "point," delu. You just want to make "small talk," so that you can impress everyone else with your "knowledge" of history. Yay. 25 years ago was another time, another era, dearie. I would rather deal in the "now, today" than dwell on 25 years ago. Hell, 25 years ago, I was marred, but I sure as hell don't dwell on that, in fact I try to forget about it every day. But that has nothing to do with this does it, other than to "point out" to you I don't fret and twist my words around to repeat history. And if you are reminded of this by your own "news" sources, well, you need to move over to the history forum, donchathink?
And it's "don't", with an apostrophe, just like "donchathink" is not a word, either.
