It's hilarious
Firstly, the poverty statistic. It's a number, it's meaningless. It's not a comparison with what came before, it doesn't suggest anything about whether Obama is doing well or not, and besides, poverty statistics have what to do with a US president? Congress is the legislature.
If I were then to say that child poverty went up under Bush, you'd turn and blame Congress and the Democrats, if it's Obama in charge, you'll blame him. It's not difficult to blame whoever you wish.
Child poverty went down under Clinton and it went up under Bush.
NCCP | Child Poverty
Besides, the NCCP says "More than
16 million children in the United States – 22% of all children – live in families with incomes below the
federal poverty level – $23,550 a year for a family of four."
Poverty rates are relative, $23,550 is a lot of money for a lot of families in the world. There will always be poverty and always be children in poverty, that doesn't mean that these kids are starving, they're just relatively worse off than others. The recession helped rich people get richer, and poor people get poorer, because they lost jobs, and this was, again, started by Bush. Cue the "you can't keep blaming Bush", as if people losing jobs in 2008/2009 will somehow stop being caused because of a recession which was massive because of two unwinnable and costly foreign interventions.
51 million on food stamps. What does this say? It says there was a recession and this happened under the last president. Obama has overseen an improvement in the economy in the last 7 years.
Did Obama make the laws making food stamps? No he did not. So.... somehow Bush causing the recession to be worse and some other people making food stamp programs, suddenly becomes Obama's fault.
Real unemployment is 10.3%. Firstly it doesn't matter. You haven't shown what "real unemployment" was like at any other period in time. If unemployment is 5% and real unemployment is 10%, does that mean when unemployment was 10% that real unemployment was 20%? What was real unemployment under Bush? You haven't said.
Secondly, when "real unemployment" includes people who CHOOSE NOT TO WORK, you know you're dealing with complete nonsense, statistics for the gullible.
Black youth unemployment rises to 30%. Okay, from what and from when? If it rose to 30% from 29.9%, what does that mean? Nothing, it means absolutely nothing. Again, statistics for the gullible.
Set the record for the highest above 7.5% unemployment. Yeah, because he started the recession. Oh, wait, no he didn't. The predictions for this recession in 2008, BEFORE he was in charge, were that this would be the second worst recession ever, behind the one in the 1930s where they didn't bother with these statistics.
The record he took of Reagan, and nobody on the right is saying how bad Reagan was, are they?
US debt is massive, could this have anything to do with Iraq and Afghanistan. I wonder who put the US in those places. Must have been Obama, right?
Okay, more people living in poverty now. That, again, would be due to a recession that Obama didn't start. Again, cue the calls of "you always blame Bush", yeah, well he went to those wars, and he made the debt, he made the problems.
Scandals. As if no president ends up having scandals.
Bush? Hurricane Katrina, Iraq etc. He got millions of people killed. But you'll ignore that, right? It's impossible to get through a presidency without scandals.
