Another from the collective you belong earlier claimed 5.6%. Neither, I suppose, would be able to back it up with factual statements.

In 7 years 12 million people were added to the food stamp program, under bush.

In 4 years, 15 million people were added under obama.

And I'm sure you also believe that a massive recession that Bush left the office with, had absolutely no effect, so you'd rather not even touch the food stamp expansion he signed off on which only qualified more people for it.

Obama's graph from the White House website saying that if we pass his stimulus, unemployment would be down to 5.2% by now:

So you are ADMITTED that Obama FAILED.

He wanted the job in 2008.

He PROMISED he'd fix the economy by his 3rd year in office or else he wouldn't deserve re-election.

He PROMISED 5.2% unemployment by now.

He PROMISED to cut the deficit in half.

Which one of those things did he deliver on????

Those graphs really don't show anything.

People can make graphs to further a point, doesn't mean they're valid.

Both failed.

If 19 million people were on foodstamps in 2002, the number should not have increased 27 million, it should have decreased to... whatever, 18.9 would have a success. I'm not talking about getting rid of food stamps, but making people self reliant so they don't need them.

Bush had a lot of broken promises too and he was handed a MUCH better economic situation:
The Broken Promises of George W. Bush | Center for American Progress Action Fund

Yet, he had another 4 years. (hurts to remember)...

Obama had lofty goals as well.
