Gas prices way up over the past 3 years. Food as well. And hubby hasn't had a raise in 3 years either.

I'd say Obama hasn't even come close to improving the lives of Americans like he promised. Remember, he forgets about the bad economy.
Private sector has added over 4.2 million private sector jobs since Jan 2010. How is that worse than those times where you might have had a job but 8.8 private sector jobs were lost? In fact, you likely lost your job as a result of that debacle. No?

So you are doing better, but you still blame Obama. Interesting.

Thank you.

I blame him for not improving the economy the way he promised and forgetting how bad it is. So not a direct blame for my job loss but more of an indirect for not being more of the savior he promised. He had all the answers campaigning but that's where it stopped.

The GOP wants to give them even more tax cuts, so they can horde that as well.


and if obama stays in office it will just get worse as more goverment is put in place. the only correct thing to do is to elect the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

So you must be a democrat?

What specifically did President Obama do that resulted in you losing your job?

No clue where these are but here in NJ they are not.

Lol. No I'm not. I was willing to listen and support but there wasn't anything to support. Nothing that I saw that would have been any good for the country.

Libertarian economic theory is considered a cultist joke all over the World except for here.

Government spending is the best remedy for a stalled economy, because the government spends 100% of their money back into the economy, unlike the rich elites who the GOP serves, who just sit on their money.
That gvt spending goes right back as income to working families.

Not at all. He gets no credit whatsoever for my greatest year.
