Umm, no - Clinton's unemployment average rate was 5.4%. They were as damned close to statistically tied as they could be.

But remember: Bush inherited a 3.7% unemployment rate. Clinton started with well over 7%. So, for them to be practically tied it stands to reason that Clinton did better regarding unemployment during his presidency.

Quite frankly, I don't attribute much of those numbers to the presidents, anyway. My point is that we must be honest to maintain credibility.
