And while no single number might be the whole picture of unemployment, the fact is that the notion that there are massive numbers of unemployed out there that are not counted is not true, especially if the argument is related to some shortcoming of unemployment insurance.

See, the whole Unemployment figure the government gives is a crock. It doesn't take into effect the underemployed (part-timers, low wages and unable to make ends meet, etc), those that have given up looking, those that have lost houses and are homeless and have no way to collect if they could.....
I still believe you take those numbers into effect you are looking at 30+% of our population. And that is the tax base you are burdening with the bank bailouts that still allowed banks to give HUGE assed bonuses, cut lower management and raise all their rates. The tax base that you expect to pay for the health care, the cap and trade, the deficit spending and so on.
Meanwhile, people can't pay back their studenbt loans because the wages are too low.
Did Obama cause this? No. Rome had its "Barrack Room emperors" and we have had ours.Obama just inherited the mess and instead of finding ways to improve the landscape and help the PEOPLE... he has done nothing but deficit spend, allowed the tax base to shrivel up even more and bailout industries that have been causing the problems.
We are at a point where there are but 2 classes and we are taxing the class that supports all of us out of this country and to invest even deeper into others. If we lose the truly wealthy in this country and those poor schlubs that have a little are taxed to make up for the loss of that tax base, we're done. We may as well just give it all to China, the UN or whomever and watch our kids become illegals trying to get into Mexico.
