By comparison, the unemployment rate today is only slightly higher than the 7.8% rate on the day Obama was sworn in, and slightly better than the 8.3% reading a few weeks later.

I love they way they (MSM) just pooh-poohs the unemployment rate under Barack Hussein Obama. They were screaming when unemployment under Bush was 5.4%

Exactly, I wish we had a quick list of the average unemployment per year from 2001-2008 to quickly deflect this absurd position. Our side just sits and takes it, time after time, and refuse to defend our record.

The smartest thing Romney could do is to start doing what Newt did in the primaries and in each appearance state what the economic growth was at 3 yrs, 10 months into Reagan’s term and compare it to Obama’s measly numbers. That was extremely effective from Newt last year, and would be even more so a year later as Obama’s numbers are worse.
