I wish Republicans would stop posting that graph without knowing the context of it. It was made in early 2009, when economists believed that the recession was much less severe than it actually was. You see that peak of 8.8% that is predicted if we don't pass the stimulus? Yeah, the unemployment rate was already there in early 2009, we just didn't know it.
It's also misleading that it leaves off the past year, when the unemployment rate has dropped .8%.
