Well you're certainly not an intellectual.
Averaging out the unemployment rate is meaningless as it hides perfomance. For example, a president taking the unemployment rate from 4% to 11% as fast as another president takes it from 11% to 4% will have comparable average rates even though the former is a failure. Even worse for this nonsense of your is the sad reality that Obama will leave office with a lower unemployment rate average than Ronald Reagan, who many on the right regard as a job creating dirty.
As far as the 95 million folks who are not in the labor force, in reality, only 6% of them want a job. 89 million of the 95 million who are not in the labor force
don't want to work.

Hi, Uggg....
Sooo....you're here to provide some cover for Obama?
Really?
That makes you as astute as you are beautiful.

20 million college grads living with their parents, courtesy of Obama ...reflects how dismal the economy still is today. Today we have college grads — along with working moms and 60-somethings — flipping burgers at Wendy’s and stocking the aisles at Walmart. Left-wing groups and union leaders are now demanding “a living wage” for jobs that were never intended to be held by heads of households. Who’s against higher wages for American workers? But wasn’t this what Obamanomics was supposed to deliver?
Seven years ago, Barack Obama promised a progressive workers paradise — a recovery from recession that would leave no one behind. Hope and Change would deliver high employment and rising wages. No one bought into this idyllic vision more than college kids.
President Obama and his supporters proclaim that he has saved America from the second Great Depression — a message we will hear again over and over in the months ahead

Thanks for acquiescing to my post, you make my job easy. Nothing you said counters a word of my post. You're posting articles that are years old which fail to refute the reality that You're posting articles that are years old Nothing in your post counters how Obama's average unemployment rate will be lower than Reagan's when he leaves office 3 months from now.
I refuted your idiocy and you whine in response.
C'mon, step up your game.

Moron -- that was based on a
2014 study. Do you not take the time to read your own links or do you simply not understand them?
<smh>
2. "....89 million of the 95 million who are not in the labor force don't want to work."
Just pointing out that those folks want to be on the dole as much as the 20 million college grads want to go back to live in their parent's homes.
3. "....Obama's average unemployment rate...."
Average unemployment rate under Bush: 5.31
Average unemployment rate under Obama: 8.46 United States Unemployment Rates by President, 1948-2016 (thru 2014)
4. Louis Woodhill shares some numbers that capture Obama’s real legacy [http://www.realclearmarkets.com/art...as_sad_record_on_economic_growth_101987.html].....
“America’s elites have largely given up on growth, and are now distracting themselves with academic musings about ‘secular stagnation.’ … assuming 2.67% RGDP growth for 2016, Obama will leave office having produced an average of 1.55% growth.
This would place his presidency fourth from the bottom of the list..., above only those of Herbert Hoover (-5.65%), Andrew Johnson (-0.70%) and Theodore Roosevelt (1.41%).”
What makes this final comparison so damning is that Obama had the comparative good fortune to enter office in the middle of a recession. Which means, all things equal, that his numbers should look very positive.
Instead, he’s managed to compile one of the worst track records."

LOLOL
George Bush has among the worst records in terms of employment. There were only 1.3 million jobs added while he was president and 1.7 million jobs were public government jobs.That's a pitiful 163,000 jobs a year. His presidency is only the second, along with Herbert Hoover, to leave office with fewer private sector jobs than when he started. And he nearly doubled the unemployment rate.
You're so desperate to make him appear successful in that regard, you rely on a meaningless metric of averaging out the unemployment rate during his 2 terms, which would place him at 5.3% --
far better than Reagan who finished at 7.5%. You're such a nutty rightard, you're actually trying to establish a case that Bush was a better jobs president than Ronald Reagan.
I can't tell from the picture in your avi....but I bet you wear a pony tail to cover up the valve stem....
That's quite the fertile imagination you've got there.
OK, beastly......
....by what metric has Barack Hussein Obama (peace be on him) been other than the worst President in neigh on a century....
Oh...and keep this in mind (assuming you have one):

Obama is the first President never to have had a year of 3% or better economic growth: "... annual growth during Obama’s “recovery” has never topped 3%. By comparison,
it never fell below 3% during the Reagan recovery. And in the nine years following the 1990-91 recession, GDP grew faster than 3% in all but two. Heck, even Jimmy Carter had some strong growth years."

2. According to the 2016 Index of Economic Freedom, an annual publication by The Heritage Foundation,
America’s economic freedom has tumbled. With losses of economic freedom in eight of the past nine years, the U.S. has tied its worst score ever, wiping out a decade of progress. Since early 2009:
•
Government spending has exploded, amounting to $29,867 per household in 2015.
•
The national debt has risen to $125,000 for every tax filing household in America—a total over $18 trillion.
•
The government takeover of health care is raising prices and disrupting markets.
• Bailouts and
new government regulations have increased uncertainty, stifling investment and job creation.
