Factoid from the press conference when he announced the principals of his
cabinet prior to inauguration: "I'm a delegator"...

I, to, am stunned that bush and co. would lie. They start out with
small lies like this. Next thing you know, the lies are
going to get bigger and bigger. Who knows what it will lead us to?

This is pretty amazing. Some of it makes sense, in terms of the
recession of '73-74 hurting job creation during the Ford administration
relative to the Nixon administration, the recession in '81 hurting
Reagan somewhat, and the recession of '90-91 hurting Bush 1 (and of
course the recent recession hurting Bush 2). I suppose employment
related to the Korean war could have helped Truman, and the Vietnam war
helped Johnson. But I certainly thought the Eisenhower years were one
big boom, and though the recovery from the recession of '73-74 must have
helped Carter's stats, I'm still amazed to see them so good.

All I did was download the data at http://stats.bls.gov/eag/eag.us.htm,
"Change in Payroll Employment" from 1946 to now, grouped them by
president, and plotted the mean.

To get historical data, you have to click on the cute little green
dinosaur; whose idea was that? If you click on the little graphic icon,
for "Changes in payroll employment" it'll show you the recession that
began and ended in 2001.

It appears payroll employment is up on at least one front:

Funny things. On the way home from work last night I wasn't sure what
I was going to do. Then I passed a cyclist going the other way and
had an epiphany. So I hopped on the bike for a quick sprint up the
Col du Merde and back. I can't ever imagine being inspired to stand
on a Segway and roll around like some CNC operator standing at a
mobile console.
