It's stunning how quickly people forget what just happened. People were loosing their jobs and loosing their houses. This was by far the lowest point the United States has been in since the Great Depression.

Richard, you can hang on to that unemployment rate if you like being in a fluffy world where reality makes no difference, but here's the facts
U3: Official unemployment rate per the ILO definition occurs when people are without jobs and they have actively looked for work within the past four weeks.
That's within the past 4 weeks
3 million jobs were lost during the recession, during the first term under Obama, 1.3 million jobs were created, that's with a democrat controlled congress, both senate and house.
During Obama's 2nd term, so far 7.4 million have been generated since congress was taken over by the republicans.
7.4 + 1.3 =8.7 million jobs - 3 million jobs lost = 5.7 million jobs net gain under Obama. You do know that the population has grown 14 million under Obama right? Those are some very very shitty numbers!

We have also recently learned that Clinton in an email told Chelsea that it was a Al Qaeda like attack, but she and Obama told the American people that it was about a video. I know it's conjecture, but this was done during his re election campaign and it was to I believe to save face with the voters for him saying he had a handle on terrorism.
And if you think that it's just another embassy, it wasn't , an Ambassador died, We have only had 7 Ambassadors die while ion office, 2 by airplane crash, and they made a movie about this, so yeah, it's a big thing!
