GDP recovery since the Bush/GOP Recession.
Historically, the GOP is pretty terrible with unemployment. Reagan took an improving unemployment rate and drove unemployment through the roof. It only came back down to pre-election level by the time he got re-elected. Obama, on the other hand, inherited a rate that was skyrocketing.
GDP was higher last quarter than initially believed.

Massive support for the Obama Jobs Bill that the GOP is trying to kill.
