Gotta love charts that take a relatively short snapshot of the historical trend and then make sweeping generalizations.

Gotta love how a chart says one thing and people just assume it says something else, when it actually doesn't.
The claim: The Bush administration has, over the last 3 years, made claims about future job growth that have been both extremely optimistic and extremely wrong.
Extrapolating the graph back 5 years adds nothing. Unless you want to argue that the Bush administration has been expecting rates of job growth that surpass the unprecedented job growth of the Clinton years.
My graph looked back 5 years. You called that a "snapshot." Am I missing something here? If you go back to 1994 instead of 1999 (which you wouldn't do since you're only looking at Bush), isn't that just 2 snapshots? Doesn't your own graph fall prey to your own dishonest arguments?
In short, my graph makes claims that are limited, and not "sweeping." It covers 5 years, and is not "a snapshot."
