The Obama Legacy explained in just 9 charts. A dead rat could do better.

It would present a much stronger argument if the data was up to date instead of ending in 2013.

They’ll simply turn the charts 180 degrees proving that you’re presenting fake news. You should know better. ;-)

The charts are a result of a Trump tweet and can be found here:

National debt is fast approaching $20 trillion, & will probably exceed that when Obama leaves office in January.
In January 2009 when he took office the National debt was at approximately $9.5 trillion. In two terms under this incompetent, narcissistic clown the National debt will have increased by over $10 trillion ... that is more debt accrued by this president than all of his predecessors combined.

You’re missing the most important chart. The one that shows Global Warming flatlining.

[Montaignes Cat]

I agree that this deserves to be printed and circulated.

Yeah, I was thinking about these charts when he started spewing all the lies about his accomplishments at the press conference yesterday.

Found it!! These are charts from data at the St. Louis Federal Reserve district. Had a heck of a time reading the bottom of the screen shots until a made out ‘stlouisfed.org’ and went there. These charts only go up through 2013, but the website has data up through 2016 (and they aren't any better). If you go to https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ and enter the search criteria in the upper right corner you will get current data. Bottom line; The data is valid, the charts are real, the source is the Federal Reserve, and current data is available.
