At NO point was keeping unemployment at 8 percent promised. In point of fact, I distinctly recall the President saying unemployment may reach 10 percent.
Unless of course, you're referring to this debunked GOP talking point?
http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2009/jul/09/promise-or-projection-unemployment/No argument about unemployment being a huge problem, but you neglect the salient fact that high health care costs are a contributing factor in continued high unemployment. Once HC is solved (or on the road to being solved, as the current bill is only a start), that takes upward pressure off unemployment, and REAL work on fixing the jobs market can start.
