Idiot.
Heh. No sense of humor.

Meanwhile someone finally updated this graph of Obama failure. No laughing matter there.

But I'm sure the Keynesian model will kick in at some point, and we'll experience a miraculous Reaganesque recovery. The correlation is uncanny.

Here's another pretty graph. It shows that FDR and Obama are the two worst presidents since 1877 because of how negative the GDP was during their tenures.

I wonder how that graph would look, if it were colored by control of Congress instead.

Here's a fun look at the budget deficit, calibrated to both the President and Congress. (I love playing the Dueling Graphs Game!)

And here's a better look for GDP:



The man posting that graph rightly notes:

Of course this chart doesn't support any easy interpretations. GDP is a lagging indicator of the political decisions that affect the economy, and the length of the lag is not a constant.

Unemployment rate: 8.6%

I'd like to be among the first to congratulate President Obama on this stunning drop in the unemployment rate. No politician would ever think to lower the rate by shrinking the labor force. Well done.

8.2% unemployment today. 80K jobs created.

And just in case anyone forgot:
