Perhaps someone like Kim Jong Un is more your style. DevonRex May 2013 #23

To be expected. Worst recession in modern history. phleshdef May 2013 #18

slower recovery jobs-wise than the great depression. & unemployment was higher under reagan. HiPointDem May 2013 #19

Thats fairly misleading considering the unemployment rate was stuck well above 10%, even above 15%. phleshdef May 2013 #63

"& unemployment was higher under reagan." HiPointDem May 2013 #66

The recession Reagan faced was overall way less significant, especially the housing market. phleshdef May 2013 #74

This message was self-deleted by its author phleshdef May 2013 #41

From the worst recession after the Great Depression. Ikonoklast May 2013 #60

depends on how you define 'worst', the reagan recession reached higher unemployment. HiPointDem May 2013 #61

And he had a Democratic House and Senate fix it for him, that's why it was shorter. Ikonoklast May 2013 #62

Unemployment is just one economic factor. phleshdef May 2013 #64

You may wish to explain yourself better and write more clearly then. LanternWaste May 2013 #75

funny, i didn't say word 1 about obama. maybe the problem is with the readers. HiPointDem May 2013 #82

Perhaps you'd prefer to return to the 10+% rate at the height of the recession? Sheesh. RBInMaine May 2013 #81
