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

Probably Obama, after Bush shit the bed and left town.

Bush has one of the best average unemployment rates since World War II at 5.27%. Something Obama, despite being in office two full terms, will never be able to achieve.

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

Barrack Obama: 8.86%

Average Unemployment Rates For US Presidents since World War II:

01. Lyndon Johnson: 4.19%
02. Harry Truman: 4.26%
03. Dwight Eisenhower: 4.89%
04. Richard Nixon: 5.00%
05. Bill Clinton: 5.20%
06. George W. Bush: 5.27%
07. John Kennedy: 5.98%

09. Jimmy Carter: 6.54%
10. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
11. Gerald Ford: 7.77%
12. Barack Obama: 8.86%

Do you blame the new woman CEO at GM for all the problems she's dealing with?

And what if all her VP's were fighting her every decision and trying to sabotage her? She would fire them, right? Well Obama can't fire Roberts, Alito, Boehner or Mitch McConnell.

All the other Presidents since World War II worked under the same rules but still were able to produce better unemployment averages than Obama, so that is not an excuse.

Obama's presidency is on track to beat Reagan's unemployment rate;

boy oh boy will the RWnut tune change then.

Like having an unregulated market where only the huge corporations control the whole damn thing is going to create any jobs. This is what the losertrians don't get. Fools.

You think dumping the entire public sector that provides our nation with a safety net, nws, nasa, cdc, fda, and regulations for those banks is going to get jobs either.

Don't make me laugh!

I'd like to see some real regulations on the huge corporations allowing for more competition. Would help with more full time jobs.

From 1940-1970 the income tax on the super rich was over 70%. Inequality was at the lowest levels in the history of this country and the middle class was growing.

From 1940-1970 the income tax on the super rich was over 70%. Inequality was at the lowest levels in the history of this country and the middle class was growing.

Since "inequality," as you term it, was determined solely by your taxable income, what that shows is that high income people did everything possible to reduce their taxable income, thereby sheltering it from the tax man. altering your financial behaviour to avoid taxation results in capital being diverted to non productive purposes and thereby lowers economic growth. Also, people don't work as hard as they would otherwise or grow their businesses because they don't get to keep the fruits of their labor.

What happened to inequality at the end of Carter's term? The same tax rates were in effect.

The Bush dummy was handed an UE rate of about 4% and passed on a rate of about 8%. Obama is cutting Bush's 8% down to about 6%. Only a complete idiot would argue that a president that increases unemployment by 100% is better than a president that decreases unemployment by 25%.

If the new woman CEO at GM was still blaming her predecessor almost seven YEARS after taking the position while demonstrating no aptitude for the job? Yes, not only would I blame her...but almost any board of directors would have FIRED her long before then!

LOL Terrible analogy, Sealy! I know it's hard to paint this guy in a good light but that WASN'T the way to go...

And only a naive idiot would argue that the President who has overseen the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression...a recovery that has seen food stamp use almost double...disability claims almost double...long term unemployment numbers at record levels...the number of "under employed" people at all time highs...and doesn't HAVE an economic plan to either stimulate the economy or create jobs...is doing a great job! The truth of the matter is that Barack Obama's policies have NOT lowered the unemployment rate...his policies have for the most part hurt job creation. The only thing that's been keeping this economy afloat has been nonstop quantitative easing by the Fed. They're now hinting that they will gradually stop QE by sometime next year. Get ready for the stock market bubble to burst, Ed!

This Bush Depression happens to be the worst recession since the Great GOP Depression, even worse than the Great Reagan Recession, so an honest person would expect recovery to be slow even if the GOP were not doing everything in their power to prolong the Great Bush Depression.

But the proof that the economy is recovering is the Right's habitual lying about the numbers. I highlighted your lie about disability "claims" almost doubling. Now that is a very professionally crafted lie because just because Right-wing cheats try to get over on the system and put in a "claim" for disability does not mean the Right-wing cheats were successful in getting an award.

Under the Bush Regime disability AWARDS including dependents skyrocketed from 6,673,362 to 9,273,839, an increase of 2,600,477 with new awards increasing each and every year. Under Obama awards have gone from 9,273,839 to 10,988,269 an increase of only 1,714,430 and with new awards decreasing the last three years. Only to the totally dishonest Right would an increase of 1.7 million be "ALMOST DOUBLE" 9.2 million, or even double Bush's 2.6 million for that matter!

You will just ignore this so I won't waste my time exposing the rest of your deliberately misleading phony claims.

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?

because then they can spew stupidity like pretending that this president was responsible for bush's economic crash and the unemployment rate left to this president after that crash.

it works nicely when they have nothing but that type of distortion

Interesting..........................the right wing that hates Obama is saying that he's the worst President in history.

Only trouble is, under Obama, the stock market has gone from 7,000 (it's lowest) to over 17,000 (record setting high just a couple of weeks ago). Not only that, but Boehner said he was concerned about jobs (his party never did anything to help), and wasn't (he was only concerned about making Obama look bad), but under Obama's leadership, this country has seen a job growth for the past 52 months.

Sorry, but Boehner and the GOP haven't done anything to help the job market, as a matter of fact, they've sold out the U.S. job market to the Asians (wanna talk about the TPP?).

If anyone has been able to help the U.S. keep jobs, it's Obama.
