Ace @ Ace of Spades HQ:

The way they… surround a story, as an old ad said.

Same situation in 1992 as in 2012: An incumbent president is bedeviled by a recession. Late in the cycle, there is a slight improvement. Although in Bush’s case, it was a lot more than slight improvement — we passed from recession to recovery before the election; the economy was already growing when Clinton took office.

If that’s not the way you remember it, that’s because the media didn’t want you to know that.

Remember when Obama promised 1 million manufacturing jobs by 2016?
http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/272284/250/Obama-promises-1-million-new-manufacturing-jobs-by-end-of-2016
Take a look at these graphs…..
This one was in his 20-page cartoon pamphlet:

Pretty cool, huh?
Obama’s clever policy going forward is to simply extend the line from the existing data to 2016. He’s assuming that the rebound rate of job recovery will continue well into what should be a normal growth phase (that doesn’t normally happen).

But there are two additional problems with this chart.
The first is that the data they use is slightly (and conveniently) outdated. Here’s the latest from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

See that leveling off?
Yeah, for the last 7 months manufacturing jobs have been flatlining.
Since the geniuses at Obama for America stopped using data in April and projected thereafter, they hid that in the last 6 months we’ve gained 0 (ZERO) manufacturing jobs.

I love this one….harsh reality VS Obama’s propaganda:

Second flaw, Obama picked a TINY time period so as to make his pathetic 1 million manufacturing jobs by 2016 look amazing.
But here’s a 22 year graph showing how pathetic Obama really is:

geoff at Innocent Bystanders is the one behind the famous jobs’ chart, too.
He knows how to tell the truth and how to lie with statistics.
He sees through Obama’s lies and tells the truth here.

Obamafail: Manufacture Much?

And yet the obama bots think he deserves a second term.
