LOL. That is what the MSM and the Dems want you to believe. This is defining deviancy down. First of all, the 7.7% would be considered very high unemployment unless you live in the fantasy world of Obama. And that is just the U-3 rate, not the U-6 rate, which would probably be double that.
Here are a couple of charts that should scare the hell out of peiple
Labor Force Participation Rate
Employment-Population Ratio
Obama was elected by Libs and independents. For independents to turn on him, they would have to admit they were wrong and that they are partially responsible for this mess. If employment turns around they will have the cover that they need to vote for him again. You under estimate the power of lib media, plus Obama’s oratory, plus indees compulsion to like him. It will take a charismatic conservative with fresh ideas and that person has not made himself (or her) known yet.
