Then you're blind as a bat. Because every economic indicator is far
better now than it was at the end of the Bush regime. Don't you ever
look at any statistics before you post?

Far better? I think not. What was the unemployment rate in Jan
2009? Hint 7.6 %
What is the unemployment rate now? Hint the latest statistic is Now
and the rate is 8.6 %
Don't you ever look at any statistics before you post?

Actually worse now, if you consider that the 8.6% is people collecting
unemployment benefits and looking for work. There's another group whose
benefits have run out and have given up looking, but the govt pretends
they don't exist anymore.
The unemployment measurement methodology is no different now than then.
Unemployment does not only count those who are receiving benefits, liar.
