Care to guess what it will be after taxes are raised? It will still be the Republicans' fault....

"The unemployment rate under Bush was 4.4% as late into his presidency as early 2007" At best, it hovered around 5%. It never got below 4.4%, and it only hit that twice. While Clinton had a whole year where the unemployment was no higher than 4% and average under 5 for half his term. Even then, the Bush figures are suspect. They changed the methodology for calculating unemployment several times and the job growth wasn't anywhere close to what was needed to account for population growth through much of his administration. He was the first president to ever leave office with less people employed than when he took office.
