Capitalism vs. Communism | Daily Kos: State of the Nation

Here’s my issue with this: It’s not comparable at all.  One is a 9 month timeline (for which Obama wasn’t even president for the first two of those months) and one is a 12 month timeline which coincided with a major economic event.  So you really just have a graph which says “this is a graph of before and after a major economic event.  Here is the event, and here is the recovery.”
Now, assuming Obama has an 8 year presidency, then feel free to put the stock market of each up against each other, but this is like comparing Apples to General Sherman.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip.tv, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Wikileaks")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
