I see that your state of Colorado has a bit less than national average and mine (South Carolina) has a bit higher than average, but for both unemployment now is higher than it was in November 2008.
Do I blame that on Obama or Bush? Nope. We are in the midst of another fundamental sift in the structure of the job market-- much like there was with the industrial revolution-- and nobody's going to stop it. But still-- it is hard to say that things are "better." |
True, but you're right in that the president alone doesn't bear responsibility for that -- I blame the Wall Street mess which he has worked diligently (even if I don't agree with the details) to get under control as well as working to address the unemployment which I believe would be much worse without the action that have been taken.
