2. Democrats ALWAYS cleaning up republican messes.

I swear they do this on purpose just so the D's have to spend their entire time fixing their problems and not have time to pass actual progressive policies.

3. I wonder what republicans do when they are faced with this

kind of chart? It really can't get much clearer than that.

4. They say its all fake numbers

which gets some traction here as well.

5. They call it lies.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]They claim the data is fabricated and/or manipulated. Then they personally attack the messenger for believing the data and trying to share that information.

It's a widespread reTHUG phenomenon. It's also the main reason I avoid any political discussion with most of my relatives.

6. In response to you, and also Bhikkhu

I'm not denying that under Obama, the unemployment situation hasn't improved. Statistically it has. But just pointing out, that with all statistics and especially graphs, what you see isn't always a fair representation of reality. In this case, if the jobs = happy times, then fine..... but there is always the X number of people who have lost their UI benefits and have fallen off the radar, or had a 'moment of clarity' and stopped looking for work, and sadly the Vast many who have found work, but are under-employed or with low paying jobs.
