Forgive me, but isn't 48% still crappy, and underwater?
When the bar has been moved low enough, any uptick is something to celebrate... I suppose.
Seriously... this man has been underwater all but 5 quarters. The cheerleaders can spin it all they want by blaming old white men and racists, but this simply isn't the reality of Obama's failed leadership.
Wait until the effects of the ACA hit after the first of the year, turn the IRS upside down, delay refunds and confuse half the population since the Congress comfortably in Obama's hands "had to pass it in order to understand it."
Right-wingers spewed the same rhetoric last year. What we got was an insured rate not seen since at least the late 90s, premiums that increased at the lowest rate in ages, and healthcare for citizens with pre-existing conditions. The few predominantly red States that expanded Medicaid saw their rate of uninsured drop by as much as 40%.
You're going to be waiting for that "Obamacare disaster" for a long time.

His popularity and bubbling-economy will usher-in another Demorat into the WH in 2016!
Just what his party wants, support from Obama-bin-Laden. Even his own party is beginning to realize that he does not have the best interests of the country in mind, only his own personal, radical agenda.
Blind support is stupid. How do you think Republicans won? How many years of complaining about ACA and immigration with no viable legislation to show for it? Yet people are still falling for the rhetoric.....
As you democrats do for anything Obama says. You are supporting the argument that blind support, from either side, is stupid.
Bush isn't office but his policies are still affecting the America, just like how Obama will affect America with his policies after he leaves. So far modern republicanism hasn't really produced any ideas or policies that have strengthen this country in sometime; which is a pity because we need two strong parties, not an impotent one and an incompetent one.
Actually, the policies of Bush were embraced by Obama, which is why they are still in effect.
And yes, the Obama policies will be in effect after he leaves office. At least until Congress can reverse them.
As for any Republican polices and there effect, as Harry Reid as he blocked them from even discussion in the Senate.

Overlooking the extremely immature name-calling, I would say it is wonderful that Obama's "personal, radical agenda" happens to coincide with most of America's.
There goes that darn liberal media again, always trying to make Obama look good when everyone knows he's the most hated president in American history. Oh wait - it's from the Washington Times. Doh!

Working people are PAYING for all of that. ACA is nothing but a redistribution of income and a gravy train for the insurance companies.

Of course you had to make this an apologist's partisan screed but lest it's escaped you, this will be the first income tax cycle for which penalties may be assessed as well as collections made from those whose income increased since signing up for the ACA. Additionally, it bears remembering that large numbers of the previously uninsured were newly covered by expanded Medicaid at the expense of other taxpayers. All-in-all, what I posited was that it was going to be interesting to see how it all plays out and how well the IRS will be able to handle it. By its own admission it's understaffed for the undertaking.
My guess is that you're going to be making excuses no matter what! I'm going to wait, see and hope for the best. I think that's a more logical and intelligent approach.
