He might have achieved this with some room to spare. Where was Ryan on real issues, not abortion and 'moral' issues?

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.

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.

In effect, it says "If Obama had lowered the unemployment rate, more people would be working "

Ya think? Duhhhhhh

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?

Not that his base knows what a Venn Diagram represents, but still.
