fearful symmetry
a perfect bell-shaped curve, or perhaps a latrine-shaped one, if you're a republican. good heavens, what possibly could have happened in jan-feb of 2009? perhaps the economy finally recovered from the mismanagement of the clinton years?
the response from the booboisie is pretty much inevitable: the economy was going to rebound anyway, no matter how incompetent obama was, that is, unless it has another relapse, then it will all be his fault.
