The unemployment rate isnt quite to Great Depression levels but it is the worst weve had since then.If you count the long term unemployed along with the currently reported, 8.8 %, you're looking at nearly 20 %. That's what it was in the late 1930s. How you count makes a big difference.

Ignoring his base? As far as I can tell, Obama has pandered to his base and ignored everyone else.Trust me. Alterman speaks for the base who feel used and abused, e.g. Latinos on immigration reform, pacifists in the War on Terror, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya, Obamacare without single payer, civil libertarians with the Patriot Act & Gitmo, etc. Despite all the ill conceived big gov't crap that Obama has done, nothing is ever enough for the utopians.

thanks to all those idiots under 40 who would not listen to me when I tried to tell them what life under Jimmy Carter was like and who were just bound and determined to go find out for themselves. Amen! The "kids" I work with thought I was making stuff up!

I was born at the end of the Carter years. Do you think that Obambi’s record will be worse?
