Thanks voters who have given us divided government by voting out the over-regulating and over-spending dem senators and congress-critters. Without you this "recovery" would pull a stronger vacuum.
And, we can thank the present administration for a recovery of 1.95 percent of GDP -- the worst recovery since the Depression (actually worse than some of those during the Depression, as well).
Another reason to thank Obama
US GDP Growth at 11-Year High
The United States economy advanced an annualized 5.0 percent in the third quarter of 2014, according to final figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, beating previous estimates and market expectations. It is the highest pace since the third quarter of 2003, reflecting an upturn in consumer spending and investment and a downturn in imports. Published on 2014-12-23

Barack Obama's Presidency Is A Complete Failure By His Own, Self-Imposed Standards
Inequality is measured by a statistic called the “Gini Index,” named after an Italian statistician who first wrote about measuring inequality in 1912. The Gini Index for the U.S. is officially published by the Census Bureau. The Index as published by the Census shows inequality sharply accelerating under President Obama, in contrast to greater stability under President Bush.
This follows automatically from the discussion above, with real incomes of the middle class and the poor declining under Obama. In fact, real incomes of the entire bottom 80% have been declining consistently under Obama, because of his poor record of generating economic growth, and any normal recovery from the 2008-2009 recession. Only the incomes of the top 20% have been rising under Obama, as the Fed’s loose monetary policies have juiced the stock market and corporate profits.
This has to be considered a disgrace, that Obama carries on publicly about rising inequality and how that is so important, yet inequality has been precisely accelerating under his own, consistently anti-growth, economic policies, which are precisely crippling the poor and the middle class. But no more of a disgrace than his record on unemployment, which reflects that it has been precisely his own, strongest supporters, particularly blacks, Hispanics, the young, and women, who have suffered the most under Obama’s failed policies.
For President Obama’s entire time in office, 5 years now, blacks have suffered unemployment well into double digits. With “Latino unemployment close behind,” as Obama himself also lamented in his Martin Luther King 50th Anniversary speech last August. Yes, the economy was in recession when President Obama entered office. But under every other President in U.S. history, for well over a century at least, the economy was in a booming recovery within 5 years, even under Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression!

Yes the repugnants have managed to keep the poor poorer despite Obama's pleas to raise minimum wage. We need a good dose of forced equality in hiring practices.
Most important is those so discouraged they've stopped looking.
"62.8%: Labor Force Participation Has Hovered Near 37-Year-Low for 11 Months
The labor force participation rate declined to 62.8 percent in February, while another 92,898,000 Americans were not in the labor force, according to data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday."
http://cnsnews.com/news/articl...7-year-low-11-months
Most incompetent administration since the Depression.
BTW Vickey Mouse, it has been found that those who agree with my principles fare much better in life. I think you should consider that fact. While I may lead you with good advice I cannot force you to drink from the fountain from whence I partook that turned out to be the source of enlightenment I project each day.
Those that didn't follow my advice ended up broke, in jail, or both,.
They are unable to get full-time work and the benefits and stability that come with it. It's a constant struggle for these families and a worrying sign for America'srecovery.
Overall U.S. unemployment has fallen steeply in the past year (from 7.2% in October 2013 to 5.8% in October 2014), but too many people can only find part-time positions.
The number of people working part-time involuntarily is more than 50% higher than when the recession began.

The Obama Administration, the Federal Reserve, and independent economists have to answer the central question about this recovery. Why did the enormous, sustained monetary stimulus have so little effect on real output, employment, and prices?
My answer is in two parts. First, the Federal Reserve’s policy is based on major economic errors. It tried to resolve real economic problems by printing money. They should know that is not possible. Second, the real problems were created by the Obama administration. Its insistence on imposing costly regulations on firms and industries, its support for stronger labor unions, its opposition to tax reduction, and its other policies based on what the Economist magazine called “the Criminalization of American Business” have hampered the economic recovery.
The principal result was slow investment and increased pessimism about the state of the economy. Evidence of the latter are the decisions by many major companies, like Halliburton, Time Warner, Merck, Apple, and Walmart, to repurchase their shares at the very high prevailing stock prices instead of investing in new capital.
Six years into the recovery, median income remains much below the pre-recession peak. The unemployment rate has fallen, but that’s mainly because of decisions by prime age workers to leave the labor force. And much of the increased employment is part-time work. An administration that declares its support for the poor and minorities has done far less to help them than the Reagan administration did over twenty years ago. Shouldn’t the administration wonder why its policies have had such abysmal results?
http://www.hoover.org/research...-strikes-against-fed
What ever recovery we have had is based on the FED and its "free money" policy. To be kind to the FED, it didn't expect Obama to regulate and legislate away its efforts. When Yellen and her gang finally let go of the economy, we will finally see the result of Obamanomics. And it will be the next administration's problem:
Prissyboy, those republicans didn't vote themselves in office, this country
and the world hate obama.He's a lying failure at move he has made since
his Indonesian birth.
....and without Keystone. The genius of Obama will set goals for any who follow him for decades. His policies will be study at all institutions of learning for those who aspire to be leaders. He will be know as the savior of his people on the heels of rabid Bush crimes to humanity; Bush breaking our nation financially, and inciting radicalism against the world.

Typical low-info Democrat voter.
57% of Americans think BO is dishonest. That means 43% of Americans are naïve.
it certainly was not my intention to unsettle the bewildered herd of conservatives on here but since that is the case I might as well point out that the Obama policies have this nation at "full employment" . many of the small remaining unemployed are accountants who have ill advised their clients that a Black man couldn't possibly run the country and the clients should horde at pitiful interest rates and not invest in anything but fox news lies.
Because of the second term, most Americans are stupid.
At the rate of DECLINE that these United States of America is falling, thanks to the un-needed "fundamental transformation" of a narcissist placed in office of president, there is the growing possibility that there will be no future generations to admire his "brilliance."
You Bush-bangers wanna blame everything on him (Bush), but thats exactly how Obamaloney works. He never holds himself accountable for anything. Place the blame, always have a fall guy, always have a diversion. Talk in circles with intelligent sounding words and phrases avoiding direct answers. He has been and even more so now setting himself and this country up for a dictatorship. You can laugh and call me stupid, but this is an evil man with an evil agenda. He is using the same tactics as Hitler to gain control of Germany. THE SAME.

That's why I said before, ovomit needs Martial law to keep his unconstitutional
executive orders in place. That means he needs a disaster and he will sacrifice
any part of this country and any number of American lives to do just that.
There is no provision within the constitution for a president to declare martial law. That is solely the power of the governors of the 50 states and the mayor of DC (although congress may over ride him). I suppose Obama could declare martial law for the WH grounds and Lafayette park across the street,, To do otherwise, would make him a criminal.

I believe Jack Flash is alluding to the Insurrection Act. That is difficult to do because it means that state officials are overwhelmed and have requested aid from the feds.

There is also the Posse Comitatus Act that bans the Federal government from using federal troops to enforce state laws. I might note that the Insurrection Act was amended in 2006 to get around dysfunctional state governments and later those changes were stripped out in 2008 because those changes made Federal intervention too easy.
as usual criticisms and attacks at someone successful as is the POTUS Obama are nothing more than "tales told by fools". my advice to those involved in the stupidity should not take oneself seriously or expect those of us that has-a-clue to waste time finding remedy for your ignorance.
if it is painful sitting on your boyz, get up; yo mama may be late getting home
Thanks voters who have given us divided government by voting out the over-regulating and over-spending dem senators and congress-critters. Without you this "recovery" would pull a stronger vacuum.

I think you have the two parties confused on who over regulates. One party wants to control contraception, marriage, and all things personal. The other wants to control pollution so that they are not allowed to destroy this planet , at least until we can find a sutable alternative,
You know who is who.

Shushhhhhhhhhhhh ! The Glen Beck wing of the conspiracy idiots , along with the NRA "Obama is comin' for your guns" idiots, would have to find something else to hate Obama on, or their heads would explode. (of course it wouldn't make much of a mess to have to clean up)
IN view of how great the economy is doing now, it begs the question to all you Republicans that always claimed Obama was a Socialist .
Were you wrong on that, or does Socialism work ?

Pre-Obama, the Small Business Administration estimated that federal government regulations cost business about $175 billion annually.
In the first term, Obama added even more
“Those costs are on the rise. Annual regulatory costs increased by more than $23.5 billion during President Barack Obama’s fourth year in office—and by a total of nearly $70 billion during the first term. While historical records are incomplete, that magnitude of regulation is likely unmatched by any Administration in the nation’s history. And, despite a much-touted initiative to weed out unnecessary regulations, only two major rule changes reduced regulatory burdens in 2012.”

Now, they are on steroids writing new regulations,

Didn't read the comments, did you? The unemployment rate is based on persons working and persons not working, but looking for work. It does not count those so discouraged they have stopped looking. As I posted above:
"62.8%: Labor Force Participation Has Hovered Near 37-Year-Low for 11 Months" This is an extremely large number of discouraged persons.
For the last six years, the GDP has rising an average of 1.95 percent. That is the worst recovery since the Depression -- even within the depression.
In case, you haven't noticed, the adult Disneyland -- the EU, that so many progressives wished the US to emulate is much worse. Its backsliding. Much of the social welfare so touted is in steep decline Almost daily, the responsible UK press has another horror story worthy of the tabloids concerning the National Health Service. Sweden -- waiting time for a GP -- longer than Albania.
Correction, the SBA estimate is $1,75 trillion, not $175 billion.
The nature of bureaucracy is empire building, It is in the best interest of such to add regulations -- regulations that require more personnel to enforce and inspect. The more personnel, the more upper management required -- higher grade, of course All, of which, requires a higher budget.
Private business self limits such as they must make a profit to stay in business, Governments have much less limits. The federal government can tax and borrow -- borrow to the tune of a $18 trillion debt (and counting). States and communities are more limited They can tax and borrow to an extent. However, communities end up like Detroit. States have to cut their services or consolidate activities (as Alabama recently did),
IN view of how great the economy is doing now, it begs the question to all you Republicans that always claimed Obama was a Socialist .
Were you wrong on that, or does Socialism work ?

Yeah, the rich would agree with you on the economy, the disappearing middle class might not:
But for the middle class the scars of the recession still run deep. Federal Reserve survey data show families in the middle fifth of the income scale now earn less and their net worth is lower than when Obama took office.
In the six years through 2013, over the recession and recovery that have spanned Obama's tenure, jobs have been added at the top and bottom of the wage scale, a Reuters analysis of labor statistics shows. In the middle, the economy has shed positions — whether in traditional trades like machining or electrical work, white-collar jobs in human resources, or technical ones like computer operators.
http://www.stltoday.com/busine...36-6b955cebda3e.html
Also the "great economy" of Obama was created by the Federal Reserve, not the magic wand of Obama. Those QE's enriched quite a few rich folks as well as helping a few of us retirees by inflating the stock market. Those who had to sweat for a living saw their standard of living shrink from lost wages or stagnant wages and under-reported inflation. Considering the retreat of the stock market every time a FED member hints at raising rates, this "great economy" might evaporate at any time.
Another side of this
Government data show that since 2000 all of the net gain in the number of working-age (16 to 65) people holding a job has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal). This is remarkable given that native-born Americans accounted for two-thirds of the growth in the total working-age population. Though there has been some recovery from the Great Recession, there were still fewer working-age natives holding a job in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000, while the number of immigrants with a job was 5.7 million above the 2000 level.
All of the net increase in employment went to immigrants in the last 14 years partly because, even before the Great Recession, immigrants were gaining a disproportionate share of jobs relative to their share of population growth. In addition, natives' losses were somewhat greater during the recession and immigrants have recovered more quickly from it. With 58 million working-age natives not working, the Schumer-Rubio bill (S.744) and similar House measures that would substantially increase the number of foreign workers allowed in the country seem out of touch with the realities of the U.S. labor market.
