The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

Is still Reagan at this same point (91 months) in his presidency:

Reagan (R) .... 7.63
Obama (D) .... 7.56

So you're saying that even though Obama didn't inherit the oil shortage issue that Reagan did and Obama didn't have to deal with the Cold War and the necessary subsequent military spending that Reagan did, obama's unemployment numbers are still virtually as bad as Reagan's?
Truth is, your obama number is skewed because it is not weighed against a diminished work force number.

WTF does military spending have to do with unemployment figures??

What DOES have a lot to do with unemployment figures is the massive recession Obama inherited where some 7 million jobs were lost.

Try subtracting 7 million jobs from Reagan's terms and see what his numbers look like. And try subtracting the 1.4 million public sector jobs added while Reagan was president to match the 366K decrease in public jobs we've seen disappear under Obama.

Coming in second WORST is hardly a brag factor.

It is when you beat the Republican god.

Reagan defeated Communism. Obama is trying to get it back.

More deflection noted. Obama still beats the Republican god in average unemployment.

Here's some reality for you...

What do you think the relationship between unemployment and food stamps is?

I would suspect they go hand-in-hand.
The graph's projection turned out to be wrong as the number has increased beyond 2012.

The unemployment rate and other labor force statistics are based on the adult civilian non-institutional population and exclude children under the age of 16, active duty military, prisoners, and people in institutions (mental health care, nursing homes, etc). The Unemployed are those who are able to work and who are actively looking for work.

SNAP includes people in the military (which is a national disgrace imo) and children and people unable or unwilling to work. So while there's a general correlation in that they'll both go up in bad economic times and down in good, there's no actual relationship between the two and they can easily move in opposite directions.

Time to remove the clothes from the washer.

Your off-topic deflection is noted and discarded. Thanks for tryin' anyway.

So you believe unemployment and economic hardship are unrelated.

The president who took us into the worst recession since WWII?

I don't even need to look anything up. We all know it was Bush. And look at the two just before Obama. They didn't even have the worst recession since WWII to deal with.

Truth is, your obama number is skewed because it is not weighed against a diminished work force number.

He inherited the greatest economic downturn since the great depression. Now the Repub Party says "Give us another chance, but with a lunatic."

Naw

He inherited a blip and turned it into perpetuation with his global warming scam energy policy.

You'll make yourself dizzy with all of that spin.
Obama energy policy has kept us in an economic hole. We have yet to recover and that is born out in a reduced work force and increased food stamp subsidies. Duh.

 

[Fenton Lum]

Who cares? Presidents don't decide who works or who doesn't.

I'm just curious. Why would you average in the first month or 3 months or 6 months of a president's term implying that he had anything to do with that unemployment rate?

Funny how according to Liberals President Bush owned gas prices, unemployment rate and Katrina. But Obama doesn't own anything.

Yeah, that's the wat partisanshit works. The "other side" just flips the blame. Pretty damn stupid, but hey, just how we roll in america.

Reckon you WOULD know about that.

Most of the unemployed have quit altogether looking for work

Odd, you guys blamed Bush for 9/11.. he was barely 8 months in and didn't even have a full cabinet in place, thanks to Dems obstructionism.

Republicans blamed World trade Center's first attack in 1993 on Clinton and he was in office for only around 30 days before it happened.

Seems like maybe he did a pretty crappy job considering the whining you people do about communism around here on a daily basis.

Reagan had nothing to do with that, Gorbachev and Yeltsin did all the heavy lifting and all St Ronnie did was try to steal the credit even though he was out of office when the wall came down.
