Thinking the economic performance of this country is independent from our Congress and government is completely absurd, and disproven by the past two centuries plus of our country's existence.

But this book looks at the facts of the past 80 years, excluding Obama (he's not included). And the measurable facts, the actual results, show that 11 of 12 economic indicators perform better under Dem Presidents than GOP.

Damn facts - they do seem to have a "liberal" bias, huh?
