Study: Bush Presidency More Successful
Than Obama In 14 Key Metrics:
A new side-by-side statistical comparison of the presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama shows a series of devastating results for the current White House tenant.
The study suggests that Bush was more successful in 14 of the 16 categories chosen by the conservative Alabama Policy Institute (API).
For instance the number of Americans on food stamps was 19.2 million under the 43rd president, but now stands at 39.5 million, the one-page chart shows. The increase in the national debt was 28.6 percent under Bush and 50.6 percent under Obama.
Other figures show the three-year average cost for a family’s health insurance was a little over $8,000 under Bush, but a little over $14,000 now.
Perhaps the most startling graphics are the gross national debt as a percentage of gross domestic product — 61.6 percent under Bush, but 98.7 percent under Obama — and total job creation which was plus 440,000 in the Bush years but minus 2,760,000 under Obama, according to the Institute’s figures.

Nice chart ... but what am I missing with the Jobs Lost/Created part? It looks like more jobs were lost under Bush, not Obama. I assume the bars below the line are losses... which appear to be bigger under Bush. What am I missing?
