The Truth: Bush, Clinton, and Unemployment
The shear hilarity of CNN’s double-standard almost erases the seriousness of the issue of unemployment. For a rundown on how 5.6% was “low” unemployment under Clinton, yet high under Bush, read Tim Blair’s recent post on the subject.
The truth? Clinton ran for reelection on the same unemployment rate.
and it ain’t just the unemployment rate:

Over the last twenty years the average unemployment rate was 6.1%, but democrats have blew the current, 5.6% unemployment rate out of the water, when it really isn’t high at all.
