If things are doing really good, does that also include giving credit to the Republican congress or just Obama (who remember hasn't been able to do anything at all for the past 5 years, they say, because of the gop-controlled Congress)? As a libertarian bystander, I'm just curious who gets what.

People put way too much credit and blame on parties. In reality the vast majority of them are controlled by either unions, corporations or special interest groups that donate to their campaigns.

The lowest labor participation rate since Carter is your idea of 'going pretty good'? Ninety million Americans having simply given up looking for a job is a good outcome to you? A national debt of $19,000,000,000,000 is a sign of success to you?
Obama voters are the reason we have instructions on shampoo bottles.
The labor participation rate was lower for 30 years between the 1940's- 70's. It increased consistent with the baby boom entering the work force. It peaked in 1999/2000. It's been declining ever since and is projected to persist for 20 years no matter who sits the oval or holds the majority. Reasons:
Same, I don't give a lot or take a lot of credit when it comes to the economy. The only time that would happen is if something funadementally changed during such presidency, which hasn't happened.
Personally I am also in best position ever financially, and professionally, soI am happy. I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 or 2012, and I don't credit him everything, nor do I blame him for everything. Whiners will whine, and blame others for their own failures, while the doers will always find a way to benefit from any situation.
This.
And I'm doing well, also.
