How mad are the Trolls now that Obama's unemployment rate fell to 8.3%?

Reagan's was 8.0% at this time in *his* presidency.

And Romney is no Ronald Reagan.

    Based on the other answers - the trolls are apoplectic.

    These people who scream about the "real" unemployment rate are disingenuous. A decline in the official rate is a decline no matter how you spin it. But conservatives are so "glass-half-empty" they refuse to recognize progress when they see it - especially when that progress is achieved by a liberal.

    certain, that is real. It became the unfavourable economic equipment that saved George HW Bush from being re-elected. the perfect concern of Republicans is that the business equipment is going to teach round and human beings get again to paintings. they have been struggling with each attempt Democrats have made to help the business equipment. Why? because they understand a decrease unemployment fee is reliable information for the President.

    We're not mad about that at all. We actually find it amusing that the libbies are going crazy over the new unemplyment number. You and your far-left Democrat loonies don't realize that the underemployment is over 18%. And you may not know that many people stopped looking for work, which is why they're not included in the unemplyment numbers. The real unemployment rate is around 10.3%.

    True. although the way they define the unemployed today isnt teh same as then. the real number today is significantly higher than 8.3% conventient that they can count it how they want these days.

    But its good its coming down.

    Now if only he could do something about the real unemployment that has remained unchanged since 2009..

    You people really need to grasp this simple concept.. just because you stop counting somebody in your unemployment numbers doesn't give them a job.

    Of course, Pres. Obama's employed so it's not his rate that has fallen. I suspect that you mean the country's unemployment rate. Everyone should be happier about that and hope for still more improvement in employment opportunities.

    They're sh**ting themselves. Republicans have been working very hard to tank the economy in hopes to retake the presidency, so these numbers are devastating to them.
