Those are shitty graphs.

Note the acceleration after Obama is elected.

Timing is more a factor than the inhabitant of the Oval Office...

...all the graphs begin when W took office.

Economically, linear computation had ended a little prior to 2000-2001...

...exponential compounding just happened to begin in earnest during Bush's term, is hitting full stride under Obama, and will prove to be the berg which sinks the USS Titanic soon unless almost-unimaginable (now) maneuvers are earnestly employed.

In a somewhat related vein...

...I read recently that only 55% of American 18-29 year olds are employed today.

The most distressing aspect of now and the next 20 years (that is, that's how long it'll take to correct this error), imwo, is the clear and vast shortage of skilled workers needed to meet the direction American employment has headed...

I been sayin ITS ALL OVER BUT THE SHOUTIN and I still believe it.

I also said I expect the gubmint to move to Hawaii when the shit hits the fan.

I just got a 357 revolver and 12 gauge pump from my son, and I havent owned a gun since 1981.

Owebama needs anuther 1.2 TRILLION to keep the doors open, and 10,000 Boomers retire every day! At best we fill 1/2 those jobs each month.

And number 11:

One of the premier signs of intellectual dishonesty is a graph where the Y axis does NOT start at zero.

Compare Vetteman's intellectual DERP above to a REAL chart showing median income:

Not nearly so bad now, is it?

More intellectual dishonesty from Vetteman. He can't show the ABSOLUTE DOLLAR changes year-by-year, so he instead opts for data about the year by year percentage change, as if that's somehow "more relevant".

Even THOSE number reflect positively on the Obama administration, so he resorts to a FIVE YEAR MOVING AVERAGE of percentage change, which is probably the most meaningless measure available, but it's the ONLY measure of GDP that reflects poorly on President Obama.

In essence, it's averaged in the financial results of the last two years of fiscal mismanagement by the Bush administration and assigned the blame to President Obama. Additionally, it's taken the last five years of the dot-com boom under President Clinton and used those numbers (via 5 year averaging) to make the first 4 years of the Bush administration look better than they were!

Here are the ABSOLUTE DOLLAR amounts of nominal GDP

Not nearly as bad as Vetteman would have you believe, especially since there was a recession in 2008 through 2009!
