You're inability to understand that 68% is not more than twice 52% is your problem. And that chart you posted... look close... the lines are getting closer together. And that's your proof that Obama's economic prowess is cool with the American public? Get a clue.

I was trying to find YOUR source by searching this forum and Google would be of little help for that.

But anyway, your numbers are cooked. You don't look at Bush's numbers the same way as Obama's which is pretty much what I already figured out on my own...

Obama, June 14: Our businesses have gone back to basics and created over 4 million jobs in the last 27 months — (applause) — more private sector jobs than were created during the entire seven years before this crisis — in a little over two years.

Obama is referring to the increase in private-sector jobs from February 2010 to May 2012. He uses February 2010 as the starting point, because that was the low point for private employment at 106,773,000 jobs. It’s been going up ever since. Right now, it’s at 111,040,000 — an increase of 4,267,000 jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

So, the president is correct about the number of jobs created in the last 27 months.

But then he uses an economic sleight of hand when he compares his best 27-month period with the first seven years of President Bush, ignoring the fact that Bush inherited an economy on the brink of a recession.

Soon after Bush took office, the U.S. economy officially fell into a recession — which lasted from March 2001 to November 2001, as measured by the National Bureau of Economic Research. There is always a lag in job growth after a recession officially ends, and the low point for private-sector employment was not reached until July 2003, when it fell to 108,232,000. By October 2005, which would be 27 months after the job slump ended, the U.S. had 112,491,000 jobs — an increase of 4,259,000 jobs. That’s nearly identical to Obama’s best 27 months after the recession, as you can see from the chart below.

Oh please... don't start doing math again in this thread... you already blew it one time. Spare us all. It hurts Precious' head.
