President Obama's Rate of Unemployment Is 11%

The National Bureau of Economic Research, the recognized scorekeeper of when recessions start and end, declared this latest recession over in June, 2009, which would make it the longest recession since the Great Depression.  But the historical precedent in America is the deeper the recession the stronger the recovery, as the American economy accelerates to return to its long term trendline.  Based on that precedent, we should be in the third year of a raging recovery boom by now.  But instead we have suffered the worst economic recovery from a recession since the Great Depression.
