PRESIDENT OBAMA: This progress has been hard, but it has been steady, and it is real. It is a direct result of the American people's drive and determination, and the decisions made by my administration.
So it is indisputable that our economy is stronger today than it was when I took office. At the same time, it is also indisputable that millions of Americans don't yet feel enough of the benefits of a growing economy where it matters most in their own lives.
These truths aren't incompatible. Our broader economy has come a long way, but the gains of recovery aren't yet broadly shared.

Growing income inequality under Obama has been caused, not surprisingly, by Obama’s policies. Obamacare, higher taxes, environmental extremism, regulatory excess, and largely unchecked and even encouraged illegal immigration have had the effect of suppressing the demand for, and increasing the supply of, labor in the United States. Therefore, those who depend almost entirely on their own labor for their sustenance have not fared well during the Obama years. On the other hand, those with significant equity portfolios have participated indirectly in the broader global economy and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies and therefore have done comparatively better. Bring investment and jobs back to the United States by reversing the policies that Obama and his enablers in the Democrat Party have foisted on us, and we will then see a reversal of the trend toward greater income inequality.
I agree. The gains of the recovery are not broadly shared enough. All of the job gains have gone to immigrants.
yes, Being There and The Jerk comes to mind also...

So those who now have jobs will share thier salaries with those who dont
In the case of Wall Street and the banksters, it has been a case of stealing from the future have nots to give to the haves.
Obama may have wealth but he’s never earned a penny.

Obama: “The Recovery is indisputable, it’s just that ordinary people like you can’t/won’t feel it.”
