Stop showing that chart documenting the DJIA from election day through today.
For the last 24 hours I've seen the same graphic used on Morning Joe, Hardball and this morning with Alex Witt. It's actually more dishonest than continuing to have the spazzy white guys from CNBC on your air -- you know, the spazzy white guys who totally got the financial collapse wrong. You think maybe this says something about their credibility? Just throwing that out there.
The DJIA has been falling precipitously since September, 2007 -- five months before the Iowa caucus. To that point, I call your attention to another graph here showing George W. Bush's huge share of the Dow collapse in relation to President Obama's comparatively small share. Additionally, President Obama can't be held responsible for anything that occurred during the transition.
I don't know what you're trying to prove or what audience you're courting, but cut the crap. This graph thing is transparently ridiculous.
Stop it!
