Yep, when America was reeling from the bad recession that started when the GOP had complete control of the federal government.

President Obama and the Dems did quite a good job in saving and then creating jobs and keeping the recession from being worse and to start turning it around.

Even though the GOP slowed it down as much as possible with a record number of Senate filibusters and secret holds.

Really? Looks like the real slide hit after the Democrats gained control of 2/3 of the branches of government in 2006, and fell off the cliff when they got all 3 in 2008.

Might wanna look at this United States GDP Growth Rate and go from 2000 to present. Lots of things there, jobless rate, GDP, others. Sadly for you, the data seems to disagree with your stance.

Good thing those pesky Republicans did slow things down a bit.
