<<<<< They were both recessions, sure, but the surrounding circumstances, the causes, the severity and the room to maneuver were all completely different from each other>>>>

I absolutely agree - but that doesn't mean you get to play with the numbers like Krugman does. Once again; if you care about the creation of jobs, you have to look at the trend during the Presidency. Carters trend after the first year are straight down until after he is out of office. Reagans trend after the first year is up - and remained strong.

Carter approval at end of his term - barely 30%
Reagans approval at the end of his terms - above 60%

How soon we forget.
