From your link ...
Even worse for an administration straining to make the case that it deserves to be around for another four years is the real unemployment rate. It's not 8.3%, but closer to 15%, a figure that reflects those who "would like to work but have not searched for a job in the past four weeks as well as those who are working part time but would prefer full-time work," says the CBO.
... what your article doesn't point out is how the real unemployment rate was already over 14% when Obama became president. Along with the worst economy since the Great Depression.
Amazing, isn't it, the "worst economy since the Great Depression" is still worse than what it was when Obama took office and that is worth 4 more years for the very poorly informed like you. by now the unemployment rate was supposed to be 6% and by now the economy was supposed to generate enough revenue to half the deficit. instead there are more unemployed, fewer employed, and by the end of fiscal year 2012 the debt will have increased by 5.7 trillion dollars. Yes, that is an economy that liberals say is better.
