The graph is honest. It shows EMPLOYMENT.

We can create other graphs that show INCOME.

We could even overlay them. If we did that, we'd see that income is coming back up, because when people lose their job, their income drops to zero. And so every new job takes a "zero income" and makes it a "positive income".

I'm not sure how Obama was supposed to make all the jobs come back, AND also make them all pay as much as the jobs that Bush killed all at the same time.

I do know that Romney has no idea how to do that. But if we on the left join the GOP in complaining that Obama is not cleaning up the GOP's mess fast enough ... well ... maybe we'll get to find out how Romney plans to get all those good paying jobs back ... after all, he seems to care a great deal about that.
