Epic fail: chart of real disposable personal income under nine presidents when they ran for re-election. Obama is the only one under which it declined. Looks like it’s fallen about 2.5% under the A-Hole In One, next worst was Bush 41 with about a 3% gain. Change!

Seriously, even Carter did better! How scary is THAT?
Such fools are the Conservashits.
This is a grossly unrepresentative chart. The statistics are rubbish.
What you are showing is a graph of the general economic situation. This includes private industry and the scattered remains of the middle and working classes.
These people are unimportant.
If you show a graph of the economic standings of the most important people in the country--those best and brightest, like myself, who are in the sector of government employ--you will notice an achingly beautiful, skyrocketing line jolting into the upper stratosphere of wealth.
In other words, I am doing quite well in the Obama era, thank you very much.
You? Well, who cares? Perhaps you can always sell your Bush era trinkets on eBay.
I will offer all those Conmanservatives who don't read above the sixth grade level--i.e. all of you, a little summary:
I am smart. You are dumb.

Pucking Ferfect!!!!!
Makes me want to quit bathing, shaving, and head off to Oakland California so I can bask in the brilliance of our obviously more intelligent Liberal friends. Nothing like days filled with fornication with under age minors, indulgence in many Schedule 1 controlled substances, and defecating on local patrol cars. Who knows, maybe I can get somebody from the ACLU to sue on my behalf after I get teargassed!!!
Oh by the way, what local of the SEIU do you belong to?
Oh, Coddy, stop. You're making 'Livvy all wet with hatred.
Uhhh....can you say that agin in littler words?

You Tarzan
How will the followers spin this fact? It's Bush's fault wont work this time as the graph proves that it’s all on barry. What say you Olivia? Who is to blame for the decline is disposable income?
Looks like the Bamster can't get it up.
I hope in 2012 he suffers from Electile Dysfunction.
I salute you.
I vow to do my part at the ballot box this November to make Obama disposable.
I am with you 200% on that sentiment, Ruben! n0bama 2012!
