Right, it's all Obama's fault:
*Because he wasn't handed as a gift from the departing Replicant PotUS an unemployment rate scampering up to 10% in 2008. See that here.
*Then he and a Democrat Congress passed ARRA - a spending bill that spiked the unemployment rate 10% from which it made a quick descent.
*But not quick enough so a year later, Obama asked for more spending.
*But nope, the Replicants had taken control of the HofR, because the 47% of American who went to the mid-terms thought that Obama wasn't quick-enough in bringing down the unemployment-rate. (Yes! Dumber than that is difficult to get, and we are not taught sufficiently well the history of the Great Recession that lasted a decade through the 1930s!)
*So, without the spending that HofR Replicants REFUSED TO GIVE OBAMA, the Unemployment Rate took its own sweet time to lower. It looked like this (from here):
*The evidently thought that with a high-rate, they'd dump him in 2012 by electing a Replicant PotUS. But, it didn't happen that way did it.
*So, without additional spending that the Replicants continually refused, the Unemployment-to-population Stagnated for FOUR EFFING-LONG YEARS and looked like this:

*Yes! Replicant calcitrations froze the Ratio at 58.5% for FOUR L_O_N_N_N_G years when no new jobs were created!
*THAT is how the Replicants thanked Americans for winning the 2010 midterm elections!
*Finally, all by itself and without any Stimulus Spending Americans finally got sick-'n-tired of not spending and started spending again in 2014
Right and basic civics is ignored as Bush had a Democratic Congress from January 2007 to January 2009, a Congress that Obama inherited and had his stimulus passed almost day one, 842 billion that saw employment go from 146 million in January 2008, when the recession started, to 142 million when he took office to 139 million two years later 2011. That is a success as you blame Bush for the failed stimulus, for a budget that he didn't even get approved, and four straight years of trillion dollar deficits.
Americans go sick and tired of the Obama lies, gave the House to the Republicans in 2010 and the Congress to the Republicans in 2014, Please take an American civics class so you stop looking and sounding foolish.
Positive trends that didn't get the U-6 employment rate back to pre recession levels 9 years later and at a cost of 9.3 trillion to the debt isn't strong or positive economic policy
