You're exactly right.
Furthermore, if you calculate a running average of the unemployment rate during GW’s 8 years in office, it's 5.5%
For B.O.’s 4 years, it's 9.2%
Next time BO says we don't want to go back to “those things” that didn't work in the last Administration. I proudly say- YES WE DO!
Another thing I'd like to "go back to" is our AAA credit rating. That's something our side should tie around Odumbutt's scrawny neck. And no murdered Ambassadors. And no bowing and scraping before foreign heads of state.
