Debunking the Obama Stimulus Chart Or “How To Make Numbers Say Anything You Want”

Let’s grab some raw jobs data. We’re going to take this data


And make it look like this;

Instead of charting how many jobs there are, we’re charting how many jobs we’re still losing.

That turns the first chart (which looks bad) into the second chart (which looks good).
Read on to understand the smoke and mirrors.

When Obama has 52 consecutive months of job growth like Bush did then come back!


Facts are he did it with tax cuts, not tax increases like Adolf is trying.

Obama has ZERO consecutive weeks of job growth and is now 9 million in the hole on jobs. He promised 5 million new jobs and thus far has create ZERO private jobs.

You should add in 2004-2005-2006-2007 in your little chart.

Notice the downward trend once Nancy and Harry took over congress?

One minute you tell us to give Obama more time and the next minute you are showing us a chart with short lived information that do not represent his 14 months of 5 million job losses.



So don't you want someone who was handed billions of dollars to create new jobs?

Give me just a million tax payer dollars and I will have 100 or more new jobs created by tomorrow night and 1000 jobs by the end of the week.



Let me tell you something else.

Slowing down jobs losses is EASY, creating them is HARD.

So far, Obama has failed the task to create enough jobs for people to save their homes. His record on consecutive months of foreclosures is proof to show he does not care.

The stimulus was there to help create jobs and so far it has been a total failure and almost criminal to those of us who are paying for it.


Keep trying to make up something positive but in the end, the people know the man is a failure, his record shows it.

One good thing Obama did?

Pissing off insane Republicans.

I am going to vote for him in a heart beat just for this reason and many others.

Conspiracy theorist? If we're going to say that Obama is 'book smart' based on good grades and high LSAT scores, wouldn't we need to HAVE SEEN his grades and LSAT scores to confirm that they were at levels high enough to classify him as 'book smart?'

I'm sure you are just joking, but regardless, your response was childish.

This is a very serious issue facing our country right now. The least you could do is show some respect.
