Obama outperformed Reagan in jobs, economic growth, investor return.

Adam Hartung is entitled to his opinion and analysis. Others beg to differ. I've read that Wall Street is being propped up by the Fed or other entities.

The stock market is most definitely being propped up by the fed. The unemployement rate is BS also considering the number of people who have just stopped looking, those working part time and those that have taken pertty serious drops in pay.

The article addresses the notion of those who have "given up." Perhaps you should try to read the whole article. As for the fed propping up the markets, that still doesn't explain the 200% ROI.

I get a kick out of Barry going on about record drops in the deficit, ignoring the fact that his first 3-4 years saw mind boggling raises in the debt. Even after the "record drops" we have deficits on the level of W's worst. And then there is his latest gem about how we have the longest period of positive job growth, conveniently leaving out the fact that this growth has been extremely anemic.

200% from where?
Markets have gotten back what they lost, but, not a whole lot more. Did not GW have amazing growth after the dot.com bust? Sure he did. So what?

The stock market
What goes up irrationally,
will go down (hard)... predictably.
Food stamp explosion.
Gas prices.
Produce inflation.
Housing market ill.
Barrycare debacle.
DEBT -- 7 trillion dollars in new debt in less than 6 years. 17+ trillion total. With a number like that, the American people should feel like their living on Boardwalk.
They don't. lol
Put lipstick on the pig, but the U.S. economy is a disater any way you look at it.
Reality 101.

I say lower corporate tax rates and make offshore corporate headquarters legal again. There's no way we can ever compete in a global economy until wages for Americans are on par with Chinese workers, for example. Let's get this economy kick-started and stop being meanies and blaming politicians and their rich handlers. (trying not to be a socialist here)

That link makes me feel much better. For some crazy reason, I thought Obama was the worst president in my lifetime, right behind Jimmah Cahtah.
It would be helpful if the author could point out the economic policies that Obama implemented, which were a change from the idiotic economic policies of George W. Bush, and also explained how those changes in economic policy positively impacted the economy.
Probably, it has much to do with Obama's staunch support of fracking and other gas and oil production techniques that have been occurring in the United States over the past few years. The fact that energy production in the United States is up so much (
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/25/busin ... casts.html ) has to be a direct result of his administration's policy efforts to make it easier to drill for, transport, refine and deliver fossil fuels to consumers.
Rack! The! FUCK! Out! Of! This!

If you want to have more money than you know what to do with... become a Liberal and move to the San Francisco Bay Area.
It's how us Liberals roll...

Let me help you out here...
Education is the backbone of the San Francisco economy.
Having 2 of the top 4 Universities in the World... doesn't hurt.

It's how the San Francisco Bay Area rolls... and why we don't suffer moronic dips in productivity like the bottom feeders known as the rest of the United States.
Nothing says failure like "flyover" country and the south.

Is that why you were bragging about how SF had such a small black population?
What a seriously half-witted turd you are, Milton.

Good god... you're a mess.
