"The obvious comparison when it comes to unemployment would be President Ronald Reagan and President Obama. This isn't even hard to understand, right wing types. Oh, we know, many of you think that Mitt Romney actually killed Osama bin Laden. But for this all you need to do is look at a graph. Ten days before your hero, St. Ronald of Tampico, took office, in February 1981, the unemployment rate was 7.4%. You probably remember that the economy was in terrible shape and that you blamed it on Jimmy Carter. Job losses soared after Mr. Reagan took control and the unemployment rate peaked at 10.8% in November 1982. In fact, it took Reagan his entire first term to reduce unemployment, so that by January 1985, the rate had fallen only to 7.3%, a stunning "recovery" of one tenth (0.1) of one percentage point in four years. That's right. The Gipper cut unemployment by 0.1 percentage point." http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/10/13/president-obama-saves-capitalism-right-wing-haters-dismayed/
