That is as close, I believe, as you've come to giving a reason for why President Obama should receive a second term. All of what you've posted before this has been negative stuff about Romney.
Any way, I suspect many people do get that chart. But there are many other things they also get that they consider in addition to it.
Like this chart showing unemployment rates projected by the Obama administration with and without the stimulus.
And this one showing deficits under the Obama administration.

Those two, taken together, start to show how ineffective the stimulus was and the cost with which we are now saddled. I suspect they remember how the stimulus was passed as well.
I think people also consider this chart showing how long people are remaining unemployed in the economy after President Obama's policies affected it and think of family or friends who are unemployed or underemployed in the Obama economy.

Or this chart showing gas prices having more than doubled under an Obama presidency, fulfilling a promise he made to drive energy prices up. I think they feel the impact this has on their own financial situation.

I believe many people heard the President and his staff and administrators say the attack on the embassy in Libya was caused by a video for weeks after the attack when they knew within hours of the attack that it wasn't.
I believe some even remember President Obama saying his presidency would be a one-term proposition if he wasn't able to make the economy improve within three years and perhaps even wonder why he's running anyway.
I believe they've heard President Obama not be able to explain what he's accomplished in his first term that warrants him getting a second one and, like you've been doing, spend just about all of his time in the campaign attacking Governor Romney.
Some of those may remember then candidate Obama saying that if a candidate doesn't have anything substantive to talk about, they make the campaign about unimportant small things, then doing exactly that as president while talking about Big Bird and "Romnesia".
I think they get it, Fred. But they see the bigger picture that is much more complete and much bleaker that that one.
If you believe the chart is accurate, then the rest is moot. President Obama did accomplish this, not only WITHOUT Republican help, but with an active and powerful opposition to anything being successful for this presidential term. I am almost 60 years old and I had never seen so much money being sucked out of our economy as I saw during the Bush years. I said repeatedly, BEFORE there was ever a President Obama, that the Republicans don't want more money, they want ALL the money. Forever. So step back a step further, look at the big picture. There is more going on. This article is indicative to my point: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/14/opinion/sunday/the-self-destruction-of-the-1-percent.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
