LOL, that chart is using Obama's magical "the more people who are unemployed, the lower the unemployment numbers are!" figures to calculate his misery index.
Why is it that the policies of Democratic administrations over the past 30 years have delivered a robust economy (low unemployment, increasing wages, bull markets, healthy dollar) only to have Republican administrations take over and drag us into recession? Time to hunker down.
Yeah... like what happened when Reagan took over Carters stellar economy and then ran it into the ground...
Wait? Wut? You mean just the opposite happened...?
Probably because the Democrats inherit the good economies of the Republican administrations and then run them into the ground and hand them over to Republicans. Why do you ask?
Really?
Bush's recession began a year before he left office. It took nearly 8 years of Obama before the economy started getting back on its feet. The previous recession was under George H.W. Bush (I don't count the early 2000s recession since it basically only affected tech), a result of 8 years of disastrous trickle down and deficit spending under Reagan. The last GOP President that left us with a good economy was probably Eisenhower.

Bush's recession was due to Democrat policies enacted by Carter and accelerated by Clinton. We've been through this already. And Obama didn't get the economy back on its feet. He drove everyone out of the labor market and onto food stamps, replaced full time jobs with part time jobs, and caused businesses to flee to foreign countries. The only thing that saddens me about Hillary Clinton's loss is watching her inherit his total failure. Instead, as usual, Democrats get to pass off their disasters onto other people.
