Hello?

Knock, knock - are you there?

The subject of this thread is a book that says Democratic presidents have outperformed Republican presidents on 11 of 12 economic indicators.

Obama is not included in this book. Obama is not a subject of this thread.

You said the charts were worthless, even if their numbers were right. That's a pretty amazing statement

I haven't made up my mind about this book. I haven't read it. I just posted it as I found it surprising and interesting.

So change my mind - show me how the authors are factually wrong, as you assert.

Only a true sheep like you takes the charts at face value. Carter is listed as 4th for least amount of time in a recession.

Recessions fit a certain financial definition, and their duration is measured in months. This book covers the last 80 years. Our recessions are listed by duration on Wikipedia. Give me the figures you have that show this ranking to be incorrect.

Yeah Riot stagflation and long gas lines are signs of a strong economy. Not even far left liberal nut jobs to the right of you try and spin that Carter presided over a good economy.

How about FDR at number 3 for the least amount of time in a recession, yet from 1932 until the war economy saved FDR's disastrous policies, the country was in the Great Depression. The term Recession was meaningless considering how far the economy fell.

Meanwhile, I have yet to see one original thought from your teeny brain on why we should take the charts at face value. In fact, I am still waiting for an original thought from on any subject

Blah, blah, blah, more insults, more yakking.

It's apparent that you don't know the difference between opinion and fact. You think they are interchangable and the same, as you use them interchangably.

You are wrong. Facts are not opinion.

Guess you can't answer my question. I thought I'd give you a chance to show you think, but back you go, Sockpuppet Fake Dee Tee Account, back into the category of the frothing Obama-haters.

BTW? I'm not a "liberal"

In fact, you know all those "conservatives" over in England that thought Mitt Romney a bloody fool for his disastrous visit before the Olympics? The Prime Minister? Those "far right righties" in England, those "conservatives", are to the left of our current Democratic party in the USA That's how far off the grid the Tea Party loonies have drug this nation to the far, far, FAR right, into John Bircher Land.
