14 year high? Wow. Bush has finally let the unemployment rate get almost as bad as it was under Clinton...

  When Clinton _started_ his Presidency. I'm guessing you're too young to remember the whole "It's The Economy, Stupid" theme behind Clinton's first-term campaign.

    Yup. See, e.g., page 6 of http://www.policepay.net/pdf/usecon.pdf http://www.policepay.net/pdf/usecon.pdf. Unemployment had a local maximum in 1992 and then went down every year until 2000.
