Where were you during the early Clinton years? The unemployment rate was at a peak of 6.6 in 1994. That's 2 years into the Clinton administration. It's 5.4 now and peaked at 6.3 in '03. Its going down now. Does that make any sense to you? Hey look, economic recovery after an industrial adjustment and bubble burst. Mind you your really can't pin the economy on Bush, certainly not for the Post Dot.Com adjustment nor for the post 9/11 down turn.
You want bad unemployment. Look at the US unemployment rate with that graph (you can move the dropdowns to get extra numbers and increase the date range). It peaked at 10.3 during '83.

Numbers to support my argument.
