A Gallup poll reported this week that only 23 percent of Americans surveyed each month were satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S.

The government throws many numbers into the GDP basket things like federal, state and local government spending, exports and various investment expenditures.
The sharply higher GDP number was largely the result of faster consumption 3.2 percent versus 2.2 percent despite flat or falling incomes.
Thats why Paul Dales of Capital Economics warns that even though the GDP number looks rosy, it suggests that households have had to dip into their savings to boost spending. That can last only so long.

Mr. Obama was swept into office promising an era of smart government. Instead, his administration has turned into a breeding ground of badly mismanaged bureaucracies and dysfunctional programs run by political hacks and worse.
In 2012, he campaigned on a myth that al Qaeda had been decimated and was on the run. In fact, they were metastasizing into larger and better-funded armies of the Islamic State that went on a blood-soaked rampage in the Middle East seizing large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria and beheading American hostages with impunity.
Mr. Obamas policy was rapid withdrawal from the war on terrorism and little else, leaving behind a huge vacuum into which the Islamic State sent tens of thousands of terrorists to slaughter untold numbers of noncombatants in an all-out blitzkrieg to destabilize the Middle East.
But rest assured, gentle reader, Mr. Obama is said to be on top of it all as he hits the golf courses, beaches and luaus of Hawaii, hoping that 2015 will be a better year.
Dont bet on it.

Why wouldn't one be skeptical of a regime who has the likes of Al Sharpton trotting into the White Hut over eighty times? The two Republicrat leaders want to just get along with their diminished opposition and even accommodate them to the further detriment of our now pitiful nation.
worse than malais.
And I bet that 23 % is comprised of the parasite class and contains Muslims too..,
There is a very simple solution:
Bring back American jobs.
The loud and clear Nov 2014 message delivered by Americans to their govt: "The people have spoken."
As Kurt Schlichter opined ....."let's understand that our real goal is to destroy everything Obama stands for his lies, elitism, the quasi-fascist dream of controlling every aspect of other peoples lives. This is the time to strike. Our enemies are on the run.....the military knows that you defeat the enemy in detail during a rout. Let's hunt them down. Let's finish off progressivism. And let's do it by not being stupid......."
I'll drink to that.

He played lots of golf.
He went on lots of taxpayer funded vacations.
He got his wife out of the house on other, taxpayer funded vacations.
Sounds like Obama had a GREAT year. It's all the little people in America who had a bad year. Do you really think he cares?

Oops, “malais” should be malaise. Maybe it’s hugh and series malais?
You repeat yourself.
Ask yourself these questions:
If you want to get nauseous, just think:
We still got ALLLLL of 2015 left with him in office.
Just try to visualize that - another entire looong year, January to December AGAIN.
Got that in your mind?
OK.
When that year is over, we still have ALLLL of 2016.
You can now puke.
Around 750+ (too many) days to go. Maybe.............
You keep spouting this line, like it is true. But, you have been shown multiple times that it is NOT a simple solution!
Wake up and smell the coffee!! No person, patriotic or not, is going to WASTE money on mass American manufacturing, until the US government gets off their backs! Regardless of what you say or believe, throwing away money is not patriotic nor heroic - it just feeds the government beast!
Just heard F. Chuck Todd on MSwhatever. He said the White House is “energized” because Obama wasn’t at fault for the fall election debacle. Obama reasons that the Dems lost because they DIDN’T ask him to campaign!
Until now, I thought the claim of his Narcissism was an exaggeration. Now I believe the man to be truly delusional.
The media is still lighting candles and burning incense at the foot of the altar of their media created God.
I believe that FR has the single largest proportion of truly patriotic Americans anywhere.
Except on the issue of trade.
On trade, we are completely asleep.
Totally.
America will soon owe 18 trillion dollars. And rapidly growing.
Stop spamming FR with this simple-minded crap! There are many underlying reasons why jobs go overseas - high corporate taxes, labor and environmental regulations, and a hostile business climate just to name a few. Simply spewing “we need to bring jobs back here” isn’t going to bring jobs back here.
I am not spamming.
America needs to bring back American jobs.
