When unemployment rates were 25 percent during the Great Crash in 1932, it was pretty easy for Roosevelt to brag about his "lower" unemployment numbers, even though they never got below 14 percent until 1941. For a good time, go look up the unemployment rates during the 1920s, particularly during the recession of 1921.
The two graphs start exactly at the beginning of the crash. Even an employment growth chart that did go back to the beginning of 2007 would have shown positive growth in ten of those months.
The Heritage graph discounted census employment. As far as "bias" is concerned, keep in mind you introduced excerpts from a presentation by the Obama executive branch on why Obama should be re-elected.

Any political leader could display numbers after a massive crash that are better than the numbers during the crash.
