Given Bush one handed Clinton 7.4 unemployment and Clinton brought it
down to 3.9.

Bush 2 saw it rise another 50% to 6.3 Now it's hovering at 56. to 5.7
Or early 1996 levels.

Here let's look at the real numbers instead of your typical BS:

Clinton first term
1993 7.3 7.1 7.0 7.1 7.1 7.0 6.9 6.8 6.7 6.8 6.6 6.5
1994 6.6 6.6 6.5 6.4 6.1 6.1 6.1 6.0 5.9 5.8 5.6 5.5
1995 5.6 5.4 5.4 5.8 5.6 5.6 5.7 5.7 5.6 5.5 5.6 5.6
1996 5.6 5.5 5.5 5.6 5.6 5.3 5.5 5.1 5.2 5.2 5.4 5.4
(Say do you see a trend here? Falling unemployment)
  
Clinton second term
1997 5.3 5.2 5.2 5.1 4.9 5.0 4.9 4.8 4.9 4.7 4.6 4.7
1998 4.6 4.6 4.7 4.3 4.4 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.6 4.5 4.4 4.4
1999 4.3 4.4 4.2 4.3 4.2 4.3 4.3 4.2 4.2 4.1 4.1 4.0
2000 4.0 4.1 4.0 3.8 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.1 4.0 3.9 3.9 3.9
Still falling

Bush
2001 4.2 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.3 4.5 4.6 4.9 5.0 5.4 5.6 5.7
2002 5.6 5.7 5.7 5.9 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.7 5.7 5.7 5.9 6.0
2003 5.8 5.9 5.8 6.0 6.1 6.3 6.2 6.1 6.1 6.0 5.9 5.7
2004 5.6 5.6 5.7 5.6

You got a site for your straw man? Show me where anyone has said
worse unemployment since the great depression. Come on Jr. Or admit
you're lying. (Worse unemployment rate since the great depression was
10.6 under Reagan.)

>Americans are laughing at the increasingly-hysterical Democrats.

Which is why Bush's approval ratings keep sagging.

I marvel at your constant ability to throw out this sort of outrageous
bull***. You lie about the stats and then you lie about what
opponents are saying and then try to draw some lying conclusion based
on that. (Are you sure you're not a member of the administration. I
mean if not you should be.)
