First of all, I am not wrong. I said "trend," not month-to-month ups and downs. Incidentally, you are factually incorrect about the first Bush Recession. It did not start at the end of Clinton's term, but in the beginning of Bush's. As a matter of fact, since the Truman Administration, every single Democratic president has left office with a lower unemployment rate than when he began, while every Republican president except Reagan (who had a severe recession in his term with more than 10 percent unemployment) left off ice with a higher unemployment than when he began.

This ought to tell you that Democratic leadership is better for employment than Republicans.
