The stock market is never a great indicator to use when trying to accurately judge whether or not the economy is of a true sound setting of a solid economy.
In case you have noticed Europe, China and other areas aren't doing too well.
Well then, let's blame Obama (?) for that , then.

No, and Obama himself isn't drinking the tea. He SAID that businesses are doing very well and should share it on down the line. People blame Obama for corporate niggardliness. Obama has tried to raise taxes on the wealthy and promote infrastructure improvement and raise the minimum wage, and republicans shoot him down every time, then they blame Obama for an "under-performing" economy. It is insane, and it is looking pathologically sick these days.

It's a long known fact that the government uses a horrible method of tallying the unemployment numbers....it doesn't take into account the many who've drained their benefits.
It is like a VDO gauge, although it is not accurate, you CAN spot trends. The same horrible method was in effect when George Bush & Gang wrecked the economy.

Way too much misleading info on healthcare numbers. One thing is certain though. Most Americans aren't happy about it and it's far from affordable. Healthcare premiums continue to rise. Then there is the cost to run it...astronomical! Trillions EACH year.
Really? Misleading? And by what means did you arrive at this insight, your job? Most Americans aren't happy about it because they have been grotesquely misinformed by Faux propaganda. IN FACT, a clear majority of Americans do NOT want it revoked. Where do you get your information?

And Obama tried to pass laws with teeth, and the republicans shot him down.

Gas...lovely gas...which in case you've not noticed is higher than where it should be given the oil glut is at an all time high and prices of oil per barrel are at 30+ year lows. Reality is gas should realistically be roughly $1.50 or so per gallon given current oil pricing coupled with the glut.
This is irrational. Are you going to blame Obama for not lowering the price of gas ENOUGH? Remember when he was being blamed for throttling energy production with too many environmental regulations? Remember when the republicans were going to hold hearings? Insane idiocy!! There should be a floor under gas prices, and the Fed tax should have been raised when the prices dropped below $3.00 so we could have infrastructure funds. I am so damn tired of the republican imbecility.

Pure unadulterated
bullshit. Obama tried to stop outsourcing, tried to pass IRS regulations against offshore sheltering, tried to pass sunshine laws for CEO pay, and you, in your ignorant bubble of Faux talking points, are spewing totally wrong nonsense that this country cannot continue to tolerate. LOOK at how corporations WRITE THE LAWS for their beholden congresspeople. The latest assault against EPA regulation of chemicals (an alleged updating, they claimed) was proved to have been written by the chemical lobby. It was made clear from the computer coding that the final draft originated at the American Chemical Council itself. Blame Obama. What the hell.
