See those red lines? That represents the last year of President George W. Bush’s presidency.
Red is bad.
See all those blue lines above the zero mark? All 54 of them? 54 consecutive months of positive private sector job growth. Those are after President Obama’s policies took effect.
Blue is good.
Any questions?
Apparently, the world was rocked by the fact that President Obama appeared at a press conference in a tan suit. In fact, the tan suit gained it’s own hashtag (#tansuit) and Twitter handle.
Summer sartorial decisions are now dominating the news cycle?
SRSLY?
Just a sample of tweets below:

Peter King said Obama "looked like he was on his way to a party in the Hamptons." Not without getting that tan suit tailored first, he's not— Josh Barro (@jbarro) August 29, 2014
Would Twitter have simply imploded if Obama came out in a seersucker suit?

If you go to Jos. A. Bank and buy one of Obama’s tan suits, you can get three more for free

OMG, Twitter completely losing it’s mind over a suit. So I guess now Barack knows how Hillary feels.

It’s a popular myth for the right wing to bellow about the “extreme” number of days that President Obama has taken.
Except…
The last couple of 2-term GOP Presidents took a WHOLE lot more vacation days than Obama.
I don’t remember them complaining about that, do you?
Oh – and the stock market didn’t double under them, either.
And we have never had 53 straight months of positive job growth until Obama.
Pesky, pesky facts…
Read full details at Politifact.
If you watch Fox News, you could be under the impression that President Obama vacations all the time.
And then there’s the facts…
Folks, if you watch Fox News you have to know the edict from the top is “smear President Obama as much as possible.”
It makes for good GOP politics, I guess…
“Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between.
“But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets.
“The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams.” – President Obama, via White House press release.

Not only have there been 53 straight months of positive job growth (a record!), but each of the past six months have seen 200,000+ jobs added to the economy.
Oh, and the stock market has doubled during his time as President…
Remind me again what a terrible job President Obama is doing?
