This is a hard pill to swallow as I posted back in 2012.....But it did seem to me that the drop in unemployed by that much at that time seemed a little too good to be true. I'm not especially thrilled to date with Obama's second term but as one of the winners of the ACA - and with most people I know IRL being winners of the ACA - I still support Obama BUT I'm starting to understand some of the criticism about him.....I don't care for his bungled promise of if you like your insurance you can keep it and I also don't like the stark divisions of who gets subsidies and who doesn't as per income. It's hard not to like Obama if you are in my social class or if you have enough time in it due to fear of America. But once again, I am starting to see some ineptitude and I would agree that the Health Exchange rollout for those not getting covered by Medicaid has been a disaster..... Rob PS As far the unemployment numbers go Alan, I suspected something along the lines of this article all along, though.
