Hint: His graphs are posted upside down.....

:-)

Fact 1: This is the weakest recovery since the great depression.
Fact 2: He promised that his stimulus would prevent us from htting 8% unemployment. It's still higher than that, and it's likely we are going back in to recession.
Fact 3: He promised to cut the deficit in half, he more than doubled it.
Fact 4: Real wages have gone down under his policies, over $3,500 per household. REAl buying power has gotten worse under his policies, energy, food, and most necessities have gone way up in price.

Yet ksen still voted for him. Shizophrenic? Insane? Stupid? Yep, his voters are all three combined.

That is one way of looking at them I guess. ;)

Fact 1: This is the weakest recovery since the great depression.

We're coming out of the worst recession since the Great Depression so it makes sense it's not as strong as normal. Combine that with the fact that businesses are sitting on trillions in cash and not investing it despite record profits then you have a recipe for s slow recovery.

Fact 2: He promised that his stimulus would prevent us from htting 8% unemployment. It's still higher than that, and it's likely we are going back in to recession.

Yes, the unemployment numbers went higher than 8% but economists still agree that the stimulus package kept unemployment lower than it would have been without stimulus.

Fact 3: He promised to cut the deficit in half, he more than doubled it.

Well, when you have Republicans refusing to raise revenue what do you expect?

Fact 4: Real wages have gone down under his policies, over $3,500 per household. REAl buying power has gotten worse under his policies, energy, food, and most necessities have gone way up in price.

Real wages have been stagnating since the 1970s. I wasn't aware that Obama was President back in the 1970s.
