Economy is on track for best growth in 9 years. Credit goes to our great President Obama. To think that he did this with all the Republican obstructionism, is incredible. This man is indeed the greatest President we've ever had.

Meh, I wouldn't go that far at all. The economy is recovering moreso because it is impossible for anyone to **** up as bad as Bush.

Obama really didn't get any of his policy through to take credit.

As a percent of GDP, how much is it compared to the past?

Obama will never see a year of economic growth exceeding 3%. He has presided over the most stagnant economy our nation has seen in the post WWII era.

How much is globalization keeping U.S wages down vs Obama's policies?

I'm not sure why you think Obama is so wonderfull. All he has done is subsidize Wall Street, Auto makers, Unions, and anyone else with money (Bailouts, TARP continued from Bush, Insurance/Drug companies with Obamacare). Obama did not help because he intervened way too much in the economy. I am confident the U.S. would have recovered much faster if the government stayed out of it. An example of the is the Depression of 1920.

At the same time Obama continued reckless spending that was occurring under Bush and has it increased it. Obama has put the economy in more danger by mounting on debt, intervening in useless wars, not closing the Southern Border, and blocking measures (Keystone XL) the make the U.S. energy self sufficient.

You guys are so nutty. Texas just set a record for jobs created in a year, and the majority of job growth is happening in red states. What does Obama have to do with any of that? Seriously?

Ask Carole Hinders about the booming economy. What good is a booming economy (if we had that) if the gov't can step in and seize everything you have worked for??

Of course OP will never answer, needless to say. It is truly sad, because I know enough of OP's posting history to know that he is actually an intelligent person.
