So Obama will have the worst job record of any POTUS and also a Household income drop of 4.8% during the "recovery". For folks 25-34 the income drop is 8.9%, for African Americans....11%.

Sure don't want to distort the thread with any facts, sorry about that.

I'll bet money that after 8 years in office, Obama will easily surpass wherever Bush ended.

And how can you can you compare this recession with any recession since WWII? It was far deeper and more destructive than either Reagan's or Bush's. #applesandoranges

Did either Reagan or Bush lose 750K jobs their first month in office? Before one bill was passed?
