He brought a Bush UE rate of 10.2 down to 9.2, but you're right, more needs to be done. Perhaps additional spending is in order?
By the way, no matter how much you repeat the lie, it will never be true. Unemployment was never 10.2% under Bush. It never exceeded 7.8% and averaged around 6%. Ah, the good old days.......
It appears Wall Street is throwing him under the bus. Or they're taking the money and running now hoping they don't go to jail with little timmy and his band of merry men when the public finds out what they've been doing the last few years. Either way this is another nail in the coffing of the kenyan plus Goldmans projection that unemployment would be just about as high as it is now come election time. They know a cooked goose when they see it.
"Employees of Goldman Sachs, once among the top financial backers of Barack Obama, donated overwhelmingly to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in the second quarter, according to a computer analysis of FEC data conducted by Bloomberg.
Romney collected $238,250 from the Wall Street bank's employees between April and June. Obama netted $10,113 in the same period.
Goldman donors were Romney's single biggest source of corporate support, Bloomberg found.
The former Massachusetts governor raised $18.3 million in the second quarter, the most of any GOP candidate. Obama raised $46 million.
In the second quarter of 2007, the picture was much different: Goldman employees donated $994,795 to then-candidate Obama, while giving just $234,275 to Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics."
Romney may have collected all kinds of money but he has to understand that Soros will give MoveOn enough that each of its members can be given plenty to keep Obama ahead. It happened in 2008, Soros handing out money, that is and will certainly happen again if it gets to looking bad for Obama. Soros can't afford to have his tool lose this time.

He has? He presided over a 9.2% unemployment rate and a30% increase in the debt in 2 years before? Unlikely, since no President ever got re-elected with such a dismal performance,
what i meant was that he has started in a political hole before, being an unknown in 2007 and winning the presidency in 2008.
