Unemployment, which would be 3 points higher if the president had not changed the way it was calculated during the Bush years, over 8% for a record 43 months, sure democratic platform better. (like liberal PBS would say different)

Watch "Dems Economic Platform: Support of Small Business, Education" on YouTube.
