Who knew that Obama would end up being a puppet in the never-ending, failed Bush administration?

By Chrissy the Hyphenated

Click graphics to embiggen for easier reading.

Chrissy’s Site Bites: http://news.webshots.com/photo/2003215140056011884TzQtWA

Also available on a t-shirt at http://www.zazzle.com/chrissyoriginals/

The back of the shirt says, “Who knew that Obama would end up being a puppet in the never-ending, failed Bush administration?”

I didn’t think I’d get a chance to use this graphic again. IMHO, it’s one of my best photoshops ever, but so far into BHO’s reign, I figured it was out of date … until I heard a DNC campaign weenie saying that blaming Bush for the economy is going to be a major DNC strategy for 2012.

(I forget who it was. I think Pete posted the link to a news interview video where a female Dem said “Bush Bush Evil Bush” and a male GOP said “How dumb is THAT.” More or less.)

Anyhow, I was a tad shocked. What kind of idiot moron can honestly blame Bush for 9/11 AND the current economy?

GWB inauguration: Jan 20, 2011 – Sept 11, 2001  … 8 months

BHO inauguration: Jan 20, 2009 – June 10, 2011 … 29 months

It’s got me curious  how many people are buying the DNC meme … the economy is ALL Bush’s fault? If anyone sees a poll along those lines, please share.

I had a really bad day yesterday, so had to go prone for the duration of whatever it was. It worked out well for our visitors. It’s hotter than hockey pucks here, even inside my climate-controlled, allergy-oasis house.  The a/c is NOT enough for really high temps … especially not for my pregnant daughter and our teething little one.

Poor Buzz! He had a major melt down yesterday and since I was feeling too rotten to be good company anyway, they went with Nonno to the  air conditioned, loads of fun Science Center while I vegged on the couch with Netflix and ice packs.

I am going to keep working on the unemployment data Red Pill linked. I’d really like to get a look at data that goes back to Carter and Reagan, particularly if I can find something to show the speed of economic recovery with conservative principles vs. what’s going on now to counter this idiotic “It’s Bush’s fault” baloney.

Unemployment Rates – Clinton, Bush, Obama

By Chrissy the Hyphenated

Click graphics to embiggen for easier reading.

This is the graphic Red Pill was asking for. I’d like to update it and reformat it. Anyone care to get me the data? I did not make the graphs I used and every time I look at them, I have to figure out all over again that it’s the x-axis, not the y-axis, that has the unemployment rates. I think it’s confusing. I haven’t figure out how to make a clear, quick to comprehend graphic of this data, but I think it would be compelling and very useful for 2012 to have one. I’d just rather put my available brain cells and time into the graphic itself, not hunting down the data.

Chrissy’s Site Bites: http://news.webshots.com/photo/2194689290056011884fKtzcI

And thanks again, Pill, for being so specific in your request. I am sometimes blown away by how much STUFF I’ve created. My archives is so huge-mongous, I’d never have found this if you had not said precisely what you wanted.

The blogs are ragging on the USDA “wasting” $2 million on My Plate, but I personally think it’s worth it. I hated the Four Food Groups and was delighted when they threw it out. (YOU try raising dairy-allergic kids who are being forced to memorize and regurgitate the “fact” that 25% of their diet should be something they’re not allowed to have.) The Food Pyramid was a nice try, but it was too confusing. This is much better (even if our Smarter Than Gawd president doesn’t seem to get how to use it).
