chart. The chart shows plain as can be that the stimulus program worked, the job loss reversed as soon as the stimulus started.

They don't understand higher lows trends or higher highs trends. The chart looks good for Obama. The best way to reach low information voters is using a method like Bill Clinton uses, a politician has to give such voters images that they can feel and relate to viscerally and attach to their daily lives, Clinton is a master at delivering such messages.
