Infographic: The Obama Economy - By The Numbers
I mostly consider myself a libertarian and I was inspired to create the infographic out of a general frustration with the current economic environment. While I don’t solely blame President Obama for this, I do believe his policies have lengthened (and in many ways worsened) this downturn. Although the infographic is implicitly critical of President Obama, I wanted to avoid opinions and evaluate the hard numbers set against statements and promises he has made in the past.

Been making the rounds.
Empirically, pretty damning.
Recall:
If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.
— Barack Obama, 2009

Comedian Jamie Kilstein on Conan, February 1, 2011.
Kilstein appeared on Conan Tuesday night with his politically fueled routine, performing a rapid-fire five minutes of material, in which he joked mostly about Barack Obama and George Bush. He fits the mold of most political comedians, appearing composed, only to begin radiating with sneering contempt.
The last line’s a knockout. Wait for it…
