The official unemployment rate excludes those individuals who would like to work but have not searched for a job in the past four weeks as well as those who are working part-time but would prefer full-time work; if those people were counted among the unemployed, the unemployment rate in January 2012 would have been about 15 percent. Compounding the problem of high unemployment, the share of unemployed people looking for work for more than six months—referred to as the long-term unemployed—topped 40 percent in December 2009 for the first time since 1948, when such data began to be collected; it has remained above that level ever since.”

First, what is Obamanomics? Second, how does this data correlate to Obamanomics and not the Great Recession. Third, what is the historic overall rate of unemployment over time?

You'd get an F in an eary grade school paper if you put this crap forward.

ROYSOLDBOY,

"Well, yes, that is where we are but in 2009 when he railroaded the Stimulus law into effect he said we would go above 8% without the law and watched as it went above 9%. We are finding more and more about where that Stimulus money went as more and more of his pet green businesses go broke."

Prove it. Show us that you're either not mistaken or lying. Being old is no excuse for putting forward false information.

The burden of proof is on you to show that it is wrong.

Procedurally...
