What economic recovery? I heard them say on Fox this weekend that the true unemployment rate is 14%, if you count all the people who have quit looking for work, or are working part time when they really want full time work.
Of course Obama has to take credit. He has to take credit for SOMETHING during the last 5 years so why not the economy? He’s failed at every endeavor but “Newspeak” requires constant lying to keep us passive...

Who are you going to believe? Obama or your lying eyes?
For me the best way to determine how badly the economy is hurt is to watch the traffic on the roads. Compare it to the Bush years if you can. What I see is a whole lot less people driving to and from work than there used to be. and there are a whole lot of small businesses closed down that used to be doing quite fine.
Gas still nearly double what it was when elected, Milk higher than that for premium brands, 1lb hamburger $4-$6+ depending on fat content, Bacon, $5-6/lb, cheese, bread, butter, eggs - all up a lot.....
My bank interest rates? still getting about 1 cent per month on the balance...
Strip mall stores? Still a lot of empty storefronts, car lots still not full, especially GM ones in my town. Town full of EITC, WICs, TANF, SNAP, Section 8 heiffers who need Michelle’s national workout tape......
Yeah....economy rebounded.......ha.
The latest number I heard is that there are 1.9 MILLION fewer jobs now than in 2008.
The labor force participation rate (percent of U.S. population that is employed) is at a 30 year low as shown in the chart below.
This figure does not include people who lost their jobs and have been unemployed for more than one year.
The government considers them to be "discouraged" and no longer seeking a job. (how convenient for the government bean counters)
