Using mismatched metrics....(unintended alliteration) doesn't make a case for anything....God forbid dumpster gets a 2nd term...then the comparisons can be done...otherwise they(the R's) will do what should be done...dispute the discrepancy.
I would if it was Jr.Bush and President Obama.....different parts of their 2 terms.

I got nailed by an observant righty...she correctly pointed out that Bush's 8yr average unemployment rate was lower than President Obama's 8yr average....that sucked.
