Barack Obama assumed office on Jan. 20, 2009 with the 7 percent rate, which continued to grow to 9.4 percent in August 2010, a three-decade high, and only started to slowly go down throughout 2011 to 8 percent in January 2012 and now to 7.8 percent in February.

Mr. Bush.... 2.4% to 7%
Mr Obama....7% to 7.8

Maybe Mr. Fisher got the names mixed up when he read the numbers.
You truly are full of it.

You'd have us believe that the unemployment picture has been better under Mr. Obama than it was under Mr. Bush?

Who're you kidding besides yourself? Besides, a huge number of the salaries created during Mr. Obama's presidency are being paid for by the taxpayers in the form of government jobs. Top that off with a 16 TRILLION dollar national debt.

You're either being deliberately obtuse, or you're on a different planet.
