Obama Presidency by Numbers: Contrasting Statements with Statistics

During the 2011 State of the Union Address, the White House showed a series of infographics alongside the televised speech to show the data-driven evidence behind some of most important themes that were addressed. Now, the table of "infographic evidence presentation" or "chartwars" has been turned, as the same technique is used 'against' Obama and his track record. Alongside various televised historical statements of Obama, a small collection of infographical illustrations contrast relevant performance metrics, such as jobs, economic growth and inflation, based on the time period between the beginning of his presidency (2008) and now. Watch the movie below. The used infographics can be explored at Flickr. Via @alexlundry.
