Urm.... Unless I am mistaken, this is NOT how a Venn Diagram works, Mittens.

(6,286 posts)They have no idea what a Venn diagram is. Although I do like the fact that they put the "bad" circle in red and the "good " circle in blue. A little subliminal advertising never hurts.

(16,113 posts)In something like this, each circle would represent a "set" and the intersection between the two would represent the commonalities between the two sets.
This is, I guess, a valid (though convoluted) way to display the information, but it's not a Venn Diagram. Maybe they did it because they thought it kind of looks like boobs.

Ya think? Duhhhhhh

(16,113 posts)It's at least a true statement, which was a rarity for him.

(8,377 posts)It says "as a candidate, Obama said". Obama never said anything like this. The only thing any of them ever point to was a staff report done BEFORE Obama took office that projected various unemployment levels depending on how much of a stimulus we could get.
As it turned out, the Republicans sabotaged the stimulus program, forcing Obama to throw in more than have of it as tax cuts, which are barely stimulative at all.
But how could a report written 30-60 days earlier know the exactly size and shape of the eventual stimulus?
