2010 is the worst year for unemployment in the past decade.

The chart below measures the Bush years and Obama's for unemployment averages. The annual average is higher for 2010 than for any year on the chart including the first full year of the recession, 2009. For the sake of reference, the Bush fiscal year of 2008 ended with the last day of September, 2009.

Conclusion: the worst of times for the sake of employment is all on Obama's watch. Note the trending increase since June. Our point is simply this: the egregious spending of the Dems throughout the first two years of Obama's first term has done little to nothing to provide job opportunities. This chart evidences our claim.
