The rate of decrease has been consistent with previous presidents. Bush's peak was 6.1 in May of 2003, He got it to 4.4 in Dec 2006, a reduction of 27.8% over 42ish months.

If we don't look at the initial peaks, and we take Obama's peak unemployment after year 0 of 9.8% in Nov 10, the latest figures put it at 7.2 in Sept 13, a reduction of 26.5% over ~36 months

They're still marginally similar.
I wonder what it would be though if we dug up the real numbers, and not the "feel good" politician numbers. (This applies to all Presidents)
