In my book, the U.S. economy is improving gradually and doing better than it was 4 or 5 years ago. The stock market has had an especially good run, thankfully. However, the economy is still far from doing great - as the unemployment rate is still 7.4%, the GDP growth is small and the national debt is very high and rising.
If Mitt Romney were president, do you think he would have been able to use his decades of business skills and knowledge to bring more positive numbers in the U.S. economy by now and going forward? What, if anything, could he have done differently?
The dems would have obstructed anything he proposed and the usual suspects in the press would have cheered them on for doing so. The leftwing loons here would have non-stop topics about "mittens".
But the answer is yes, our economy would be vastly improved from where it is now and people would have a lot more hope for the future. The truth is, we are in worse shape today than we were a few years ago but with a compliant press acting as a mouthpiece for the federal government, most Americans don't realize how dire things are and how much worse they're going to get.
It is impossible to tell what market impact there would have been with a different election result. What we can rely on is that laws and execution of the offices of government would have been tilted against the middle class and poor, against employees and retirees, and against compassion and consideration of others. Republicans in the White House would almost surely have promulgated policies that benefited the rich, the employer, and the brutalistic egoists of the right-wing.

Do you not realize that when the rich benefit, everyone benefits? Or are you one of those who still thinks poor people create jobs and pay tax?

Like the Repubs in Congress aren't obstructing every single thing Obama tries to do!! Give me a break...
Seems having Obama in office hasn't hurt the rich too much.
It's the middle class that is being hurt and squeezed, even his buddy Biden admitted this!
