5 Reasons Barack Obama Isn’t George W. Bush (Barack Obama Group)
....Republicans are all running for president based on the premise that Barack Obama is a failure on the magnitude of George W. Bush.
This argument makes sense to Republican voters, who tend to shield themselves from science, facts, and basic anatomy lessons. But it is simply insane to anyone else....
Eventually, Republicans will have to speak to people who think an America that’s safer, stronger and has better access to health care than at any time in our existence in history isn’t all that bad. To prepare them, here are a few charts that show clearly why Barack Obama isn’t George W. Bush.
1. Job growth under Obama has come entirely from the private sector. Job growth under W. came entirely from the public sector....
2. Unlike W., Obama has made extraordinary leaps toward making America energy independent....
3. People are actually gaining health insurance under Barack Obama....
4. The deficit is actually falling under Barack Obama as government spending is growing at the slowest rate since the 1950s....

....by almost every measure, America is better positioned now than it has been in this century. Of course, that leaves us with much to improve. Yet Republicans should try to understand that comparing the guy who dug us into a ditch to the guy who dug us out makes them appear craven and delusional. Which is possibly why the Republican base enjoys it so much.
