Let's Review Obama's Records
Record Debt both in a year and in a Presidency
Record Deficits
Record Unemployment
Record Numbers of people living in Poverty
Record Numbers of people on Food Stamps
Record Number of Homeless (Remember them?)
and to top it off
FIRST EVER DOWNGRADE OF US CREDIT RATING
Ah Frank. Posting random stuff and thinking it's true. I love it.
Record Debt both in a year and in a Presidency - Year yes, Presidency no. Bush still holds the record for raw numbers and Reagan holds it for percentage.
Record Deficits - As a raw number, yes, as a percentage of GDP (the real way to judge them), no.
Record Unemployment - Not even close.
Record Numbers of people living in Poverty - Not even close.
FIRST EVER DOWNGRADE OF US CREDIT RATING - Which was NOT attributed to the President but rather to the opposition party.
As for homelessness and food stamps, I couldn't find historical numbers for those, so if you want to provide us your link to where you got your numbers, then we can discuss those too.
I guess that depends on whose numbers you use.
Reagan: Up 14.9 percentage points
George H.W. Bush: Up 7.1 percentage points
Clinton: Down 13.4 percentage points
George W. Bush: Up 5.6 percentage points
Obama: Up 21.9 percentage points
