Why am I inclined to call bullShiite on these charts? Maybe it's because I am struggling to understand what could make Obama be on par with Reagan when nearly every single one of the measures for the chart (GDP, industrial production, household incomes, house prices, unemployment, consumer confidence, stockmarkets and federal debt) have been dismal under Obama?

GDP is anemic.
Incomes are down.
Yes, house prices are down, but that's because the economy is in the tank! Many people would see that as bad news, not good.
Unemployment is the same as when he took office but that's only because over 8 million people have left the workforce!
The stock market is up only because of quantitative easing! We have yet to feel the end result of that policy.
I would think the increase in federal debt alone would outweigh any of the other stats.

I think the numbers are massaged.....or at the least not a good yardstick. Obama is not on par with Reagan. Bush should be WAY ahead of Obama.

Seriously: compare the economy during the Bush years as compared to the last four! I would take any four years of the Bush economy over the last four!

A one second glance at these charts tells you they are nothing but leftist Bullc*rap.

Blam, your killing us hear putting this letist pablum on parade -- lol.

Seriously, I now have no doubt that TBI is a far-left site. Their articles have no relation to reality-- just propaganda.

I will not waste my time looking at the methodology used to create these charts. It's probably the same used to create climate models :)
