Bloomberg’s Jonathan Alter asks today why President Obama has been a bad president. Rather, he challenges anyone to give him one good reason. 

“I want to know, on a substantive basis,” Alter writes, “why you think [Obama] deserves to be in a dead heat with Mitt Romney and Rick Perry and only a few points ahead of Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann in a new Gallup Poll. Is it just that any president — regardless of circumstances and party — who presides over 9 percent unemployment deserves to lose?”

I suggest that Alter take a peek at the above graph. Obama’s stimulus spending didn’t work. All it did was steal from our children. That’s why.
