<<<< Anything else is data manipulation >>>>

I completely disagree - and would argue that it is when looking through the eyes of rose tinted glasses is when the data is manipulated. By using the data from the very start of the administration you are giving Carter credit for the jobs that were actually created by Ford. Especially in the case of Carter where you have only four years, you are miscalculating by at least two years; missing the data for the jobs created the first year that more rightly belong to Ford and misallocating the months right after he leaves office by attributing those months to Reagan rather than Carter. That is manipulated data. It is every bit as manipulated data as numbers that suggest that Obama's first year awful numbers belong to him.

THAT is why Reagans job approval was at 63% when he left office and Carters was at 34%. So following the trend line created by the jobs number, lots of jobs are still being created the year after Reagan leaves office while in the year following Carter there was a job loss in Reagans first term.

With your thinking Wharf, Obama has to make up for a negative 871,000 jobs before he can count one single job created during his administration. Is that how you think we should think about Obama's terms? That's just nuts! So, throwing out the first year under Carter, numbers that really belong to Ford, Carters numbers fall by almost 400,000 - making him look mediocre. And we are not yet counting the jobs lost in the first part of Reagans term.
