Specifically how, in both cases - or are you just playing the partisan hack role?

You mean like record numbers out of the workforce, U6 unemployment rate (counts ALL unemployed, not just those on Unemployment Compensation) of 12%, or like all the commercial real estate that lies vacant (just drive around town and see for yourself. I'm sorry you're in advertising too!

We're getting awful close to not being able to pay the interest on this debt and that's when things will really start going down hill. A Sanders or Clinton presidency should finish the job.
It's interesting that government jobs (federal, state and local) have contracted about 700K since Obama while private sector jobs have increased by about 9 million (that's right, they are all part time jobs).

Don't you know that the Obama haters on here are trying their best to pedal their propaganda trying to make the President look bad? That one just assumed you MUST have a government job if you're prospering under Obama. Where do they come up with this stuff? Jealousy I suppose. The best part is no one is listening to them anymore.

Just because YOU aren't doing well doesn't mean nobody is. If you weren't smart enough to prosper during the last 8 years it's your own fault. Stop trying to bring others down to your level.

It doesn't take a genius to realize our country is going downhill fast. I mean come on, his top priority is which bathrooms we should use. And racial tension is far worse then 8 years ago.

I did pretty well with my job but to me that doesn't make for a great president. Not by a long shot.

LOL! Advertisers are the only known life form that can lie more than a politician.

If progressives wondered why "Yes We Can" didn't sound like a phrase anyone would actually use in real life, why the wording seemed a little off, wondered Where did that come from?, well, it's backward for something:

It was intended as a spell placed on the American people.
