I see from my graph that most presidents have a similar downward trend from day one. The exceptions are Eisenhower, Reagan and Clinton, but note that Clinton's graph follows the same downward trend until 1995 when the Republican Revolution brought responsibility back to Washington and Clinton shamelessly took credit for the reforms he opposed. GWB's presidency was hijacked on 9/11. Prior to that, he was governing from the center in a responsible fashion. When Obama comes in, he'll do things in a nearly identical way as GWB because "change" is just a campaign slogan, the world is full of Muslim terrorists and, thanks to our one sided trade agreements and sloppy border control, we're broke.
sort of like what the clintons did to america during the 90's. good point.
Sorry if you didn't bother to invest during the Clinton era. If you had, you'd be comfortable....up until the end of the Bush administration, of course.

have been investing since 1980, much to the liberals hatred.
I didn't know liberals had an anti-investment platform. When did that start?
Newsflash: Both parties are pro-business because people with lots of money don't ***** and they can maintain the status quo.
anyone that can afford to live on their own without relying on the goverment is someone that the liberals do not like. plus I am a gun owner and that is enough for liberals to hate my type.

Yep, I was so happy to hear that the NRA with their massive ad campaign was such a non issue.
Americans are responsible for providing a better life for themselves. I'm only 25 and I understand this. Don't expect a president to make everything better with the swipe of a wand.
Truer words were never spoken!
"You make your own success" - words of wisdom for whining liberals
perhaps, but when you have politicians who work against you and work for the oil and war profiteers and the top 1%, it is hard for the average American to really get ahead
I think you're going to see all that change under Obama.
Bush was an ideologue - and he was more President of his party's base, rather than President of the US...
Obama is going to get rid of the ideological my-party-above-my-country attitude in the White House, and will finally start levelling the playing field for American workers and the middle class...
I think you'll see job and income growth for the middle class flourish under Obama - whereas it absolutely stagnated under Bush. Bush never cared about the working class - they were foreign to his entire upbringing - and he regarded them merely as pawns to bring wealth to his real core - the elites and rich of the country - especially if they were Republican elites.
Hasn't been above 44% in the last two years and mostly been in the teens and 20's.
