CHART OF THE DAY: It's Official: Obama Is Creaming Bush When It Comes To Jobs

http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-jobs-lost-in-the-bush-and-obama-administration-2010-2?utm_source=Triggermail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CS_COTD_020510

Numbers don't lie, do they?

In the last year of the Bush administration, the monthly job loss numbers built steadily to a peak which then began to reverse itself during Obama's first year.

It's a perfect mirror image, as this chart from Nancy Pelosi's office demonstrates.

Now, whether this was the result of Obama's and Bush's policies... or whether it's just a matter of timing, is obviously open for debate.

We know what Speaker Pelosi would have you believe.

1. The numbers on the left column need to add a "0"...

We were losing over 700,000 jobs last January, not 70,000.

2. good eye
here's a better look, from Pelosi's own website. Looks like it was a formatting issue.
