<quoted text> It went up 4 points in the eight years Bush was in there. Its only up 2.2 since he left office. Synergy, you do realize the economy will get better in 3 years and unemployment will go down, don't you? Might wanna be careful about your uninformed predictions. Crack a history book for a change.

It's over 10%. Obama said that wouldn't happen. You do realize that he said whatever you wanted to hear just to get elected? It doesn't matter what happened when Bush was in office. You keep reliving the past just to keep yourself assured that you didn't make a huge mistake. Who would have expected the umemployment to get so high? This economy is unpredictable because people have lost their trust in the government. Here is my prediction: Some Dems are going to be out on the street come election time. BTW, I'm sure I've cracked more books in a week than you have in a year. I read various materials as opposed to your slurping up loony-left politics.

Last time unemployment was this high was when Reagan was president and we all know what a failure his administration turned out to be. Obama will probably follow the same pattern.

I hope this a sarcastic comment considering how the economy turned around during the Reagan years.

Yep, score 1 for figuring it out and making my point perfectly. Reagan dealt with a similar economic situation early in his presidency and now he is the hero of the right.
People who think that the current economic situation is a good predictor of the long-term success of Obama's presidency are as sorely mistaken as the Democrats were about Reagan in 1982.
