Smitty and Carson: Sometimes it’s hard for me to divine the points you’re trying to make through all the sarcasm.
Anyway, Smitty, what exactly do you think the graph you linked to shows? I believe you’re offering these stats as proof that Obama is exacerbating the recession, but to me, this inverted bell curve suggests that Obama is gradually pulling us out of slump that Bush got us into. (Take another look. Can you see the correlation there?)
Personally, I don’t believe there’s that strong of a correlation between presidents and employment levels, but even if I did believe in such a correlation, this graph shows that unemployment is coming down steadily under Obama. Is that what you wanted to us to take away from this?
