A month or so ago I posted two versions of Obama by the numbers. The first, which every conservative should print out and hand to a independent voter spells out the story in an easy to read and compelling graphic formula. The second is a line by line refutation of the claim that the economy is getting better.
Below are some new numbers to add to the mountain of evidence which documents the economic disaster wrought by Obama and the Democrats. I like the last number best: "0: Other People Obama Will Have Left To Blame For The Failures Of His Economic Policies In 2012."
