President Obama: In light of the various charts MaddowBlog has published in recent months, I ve received a few requests, mainly from folks looking to see how President Obama s record on job creation stacks up against other modern presidents. Sure, he s already easily surpassed Bush/Quayle and Bush/Cheney, but that wasn t too tough. What about others? The problem is coming up with a fair basis for comparison. When Obama took office, for example, the economy faced catastrophic, free-fall conditions. In 2009, due entirely to conditions he inherited, the U.S. lost over 5 million jobs. No president since FDR faced an economic environment like that.
