In a speech last week in Delaware, President Obama was positively bursting with pride about what his policies have produced since the economic recovery started five years ago.
What Obama didn´t say in his speech is that [snip] many Americans are doing a whole lot worse than they were when Obama's economic recovery began five years ago.

Personally?
I have never been so down and out in my entire life.
But I aint done yet. LOL
No. If Clinton, Bush, the Rats and the GOP hadn’t crashed the economy, and 0, the Rats, and the GOP hadn’t made it even worse, I would be making a lot more money. I had 3 pay freezes and a lay-off thanks to the “recovery”. In addition to my lower pay, everything costs so much more.
I lost 30% of my income due to Obama, my brother lost 100%.
DIRECTLY DUE TO OBAMA POLICIES.
Same here; I know few people who aren’t in the same boat. The only ones better off are government workers (those that survivied the layoffs) - they are the only ones left with salaries that kept pace with the unreported inflation, enjoying benefits that disappeared for the American workers that pay them decades ago. Here in NJ the economy has collapsed because there just aren’t enough public school teachers, cops and such to keep open all of the restaurants and other places where Americans used to spend their discretionary dollars.
The northeast will be the last part of the country to recover (if it ever does).
Yes, but his policies had nothing to do w it. My disposable income jumped due to getting rid of my kids support wise.
I liked it better under the Carter administration. LOL
I am watching my entire life’s work slowly melt before me.
My paycheck doesn’t go half as far as it did before this idiot was elected. My investments have a higher numerical value, but in an “inflated” world, the true value of such instruments is nearly impossible to calulate.
If the stock market crashes, and it will sometime soon, then all of that DJIA at 17K is meaningless.
The only real assets are guns and ammunition.
The recovery died in the womb.
Static income and steadily increasing prices are my main impacts.
Yes, I am doing better. Despite, not because of the Obama administration.
Make thousands less than I did 4 years ago. 26 year old daughter.and husband can’t find jobs making more tha $12 an hour. Yeah, things are great. Lower your expectations in the Obama economy America!
I’m still trying to figure out the criteria that establishes a ‘recovery’.
That’s what I keep telling people. They say “gold, gold, gold”. No. When the zombies come, and they will come, they won’t be swayed by your coins.
Sorry to hear of your troubles.
This guy has been a disaster and we haven’t reaped all of it yet.
Personally? Yep. Significantly. No thanks to him though...
Lefties would look at my post about losing income due to Obama and say “good!”.
Meanwhile I wonder what the weather is like in Martha’s Vineyard this time of year?
