Yeah, the chart is grossly inaccurate plus it purposely over-exaggerates just by the scale that it is using.
Anyway, what was the ratio of Dems to Repubs during Reagan's and Bush Sr.'s administrations? Wasn't it quite heavily in favor of the Dems at that point? Of course, the numbers during Clinton's term can be misleading also since the Repubs gained a majority in '94. Regardless, I do believe and always have that the President does bear SOME responsibility when things go downhill and deserves at least SOME of the credit when things are going well.
Also...Slucero, please shrink that pic...It's ruining the thread by widening the screen. I'd like to not have to scroll over to read everything.
