Long ways to go, but this somewhat explains the gradual down tick in the unemployment number.

Impressive....rolls eyes. Still the worst record of any POTUS.

Bush 2 and Reagan were dealt bad economic hands by the previous POTUS yet their job gains outpaced Obamas. W created 5M jobs in the first 30 months of recovery, Reagan created 8M.

So Obama will have the worst job record of any POTUS and also a Household income drop of 4.8% during the "recovery". For folks 25-34 the income drop is 8.9%, for African Americans....11%.

Sure don't want to distort the thread with any facts, sorry about that.
