As noted, the relevant statistic is the average monthly employment rate - and there, we see that there is no question that far more people worked far more regularly for far greater periods of time under GWB than they did under Mr. Obama.  It's not even close.  :-/   

To be sure, Mr. Obama had to contend with the housing market bust and the Great Recession, and for that reason it took his administration > 6 years to get the unemployment rate back *down* to the level that the country enjoyed under GWB.  (Thanks, Democrats??)  That's what you are congratulating Mr. Obama for - finally achieving an unemployment rate that people took for granted under GWB.  (Think about that for a minute ...)

Thank for the exchange of views.
