>> Bush inherited an unemployment rate of 4.2%.

Bush also inherited the Clinton recession.

>> Obama inherited an unemployment rate close to 10%.

Obama inherited an unemployment rate of 7.8%, and his economic geniuses told us, if only we'd allow him to blow a trillion dollars, it would stay under 8%.

But never mind the traditional unemployment rate. What we know with certainty is that the reason we're still in 6% territory after SIX LONG YEARS is because of dumb, no, idiotic, economic policy this administration has created. Policy that discourages hiring and makes it more expensive to put people to work.

And the trillion? Political payoffs. There were no "shovel ready" jobs. This incompetent fool has cost the country at least 3, probably four years of economic misery that didn't need to happen. If you wait long enough our economy will always recover.

We have simply waited it out.
