The unemployment rate under Clinton wasn't a point lower than it is now. The unemployment figures release in April where 4.7% (and the rate has been going down so it might be lower now). The average unemployment rate under Clinton was enough higher than 4/7% that you would apparently consider it to be "significantly higher" at least if you apply the same standards to Clinton that you did to Bush.

Clinton's economy was also deficit free. Which is the biggest factor of all. Bush's is all debt spending.

If you open the link below, there is a graph.....the graph shows unemployment dipping below 4%. You grow more pathetic with each passing day. You are all about your ideology and not what's good for this country, a trait very typical of your cohort. joatmoaf.typepad.com
