Carl, the unemployment rate was already 7.6%. All that happened was that the official U3 rate cleared 7.6%.
U3: 8.1%
U6: 14.8%
shawdowstats.com estimation of the unemployment using pre-1982 methodologies: something over 18%

ah yes obama is the sole cause of the high unemployment not like it hadnt already hit 7%  under bush...

Hillary would not have allowed this to happen.

She is a Clinton, she has her ways.

Obama has only been President for a month and a half. sh**t, Bush was still blaming Clinton for everything years into his Presidency.

There is actually a little bit of good news in the figures, as it appears U-6 is starting to slow down a bit and mirroring more of U-3.

I'd at least wait until the 2nd derivative of the U6 was negative before saying that.
