The United States Unemployment Rate (http://www.miseryindex.us/urbymonth.asp?StartYear=2009-01&EndYear=2011-10&submit1=Create+Report - broken link)
It went up.
And that even includes the changes in how they calculate unemployment, which took place after obama took office. Imagine what it'll be like if they didnt change calculating methods.
DWS is a character right out of a horror story recounting the communist takeover in eastern europe. She is frighteneing because her words defy logic and she actually pretends to rabidly believe what she says.
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.
Her eye blinking as her lying lips move drives me crazy...
refresh my memory, just what did Obama do in the first couple of months of his Presidency that cause the economy to shed 600,000 or more jobs a month? Wasn't that a continuation of a trend Bush's Great Recession started? Seems Obama reversed that trend in a few months. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/385837_317084238319824_196601040368145_1243747_252 609316_n.jpg (broken link)

Are you aware that, with no extensions in unemployment benefits, you can start the year off with 50% unemployed. Over the next six months, no one loses a job, but no jobs are gained. By July first, the unemployment rate drops to 0% because everyone dropped off the end of their benefits.
You are only counted if you are collecting benefits. When your benefits run out, you are no longer counted as unemployed. So, the government figures are extremely ambiguous. Good numbers for politicians to hide behind, but very misleading.
