Glad to see Wells provide some balance. I was wondering the same thing after looking at the first link.
Of course, the whole comparison is apples and oranges to some extent. as powerful as the U.S. President is, there are always factors outside of his/her control that will impact key labour market stats.
I'd like to see some debt numbers too - this is the legacy administrations bestow to future generations who have the joy of paying back - with interest.

2000: Republican controlled House and Senate 2008: Democrat controlled House and Senate
