    I am curious to know how the Tea Partiers on the board would like to explain this:

    weakest recovery since WWII

    by the time we get back to pre-recession job levels, we'll be in another one

    Guess we better skip a few cycles of conservative ideas then to avoid it.

    Seriously bro, the liberals can't continiously bail out the terrible public policies of the right.

    Blame who you want, but that isn't good.

    True, we've been cutting too many government jobs.

    Your chart shows all the positive job growth happening under Obama. It shows the bulk of job losses under Bush's presidency. Bush's job growth is almost a straight red line going down like the Titanic. After Obama's 1st year, the line has flattened and started growing.

    I have added labels for their respective presidential terms.

    I believe a non-ideological objection may be made to the selected time frame.

    All recessions end, the problem is our anemic rate of recovery.

    Bush's job growth is better than Obama, because it's going down, a jobs meltdown.
    Obama's is anemic/bad or worse than Bush, because it's on the way up, a recovery.

    Keep drinking the Bush Kool-aid. Obama is bringing jobs back.

    It's actually surprisingly good considering the lack of relative stimulus and the severity of the economic collapse that happened.

    This should have been another great depression. We dodged a bullet thanks to aggressive fiscal and monetary policy.

    Geitner is a real hero.
