US Unemployment Claims Hit 4-Year Low of 357K [View all]

We're finally getting to the level we were before the recession. Still not good enough, but it makes it increasingly difficult for the Republicans to make a substantial argument that the economy has not improved under Obama. It's taken time, of course, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a majority of Americans who believe we're not better off than we were four years ago.

Poor Mitt Romney.
