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.

Correction, Obama has the world a lite.
I'm retired and rely on my SS check to make ends meet. Since this clown took office, I have had a .1% increase in my benefits. During the same period, those on welfare have enjoyed a 30% increase, including free cell phones to deadbeats paid for with our tax dollars. To me, if you can fog a mirror, you should have to show up at 7AM, work until 5PM cleaning toilets or anything else the state welfare office needs to be done, take a mandatory drug test when asked to do so, and then collect your handouts.
I don't know about the rest of you, but Obozo has made my life less enjoyable than it could be, mainly because of his inept economic policies. He's in way over his head and has hired more clowns as advisors/czars who are worse than he is.
We aint done yet!
Great Recession Mark II followed by World War Mark III. Everything old is new again.
The world is a tinderbox and our leader is a toddler playing with matches.
No, and the anecdotal evidence is looking very scary. Case in point, my wife was supposed to get paid last week, but hasn't because her company is waiting on collections to make payroll, and those with payables due are struggling.
Much to my surprise, I have experienced a tremendous surge of accomplishments since Obama's inauguration. I have managed to shed my limitations and exposed myself to a vast number of new and previously unknown experiences.
I have, admittedly, with some guidance:
Qualified for unemployment compensation
Qualified for Section 8 housing
Qualified for Medicaid
Qualified for a free cell phone
Qualified for food stamps
Qualified for free transportation (Ambucab) for doctor's appointments
So, to answer to the question is YES and I say keep qualifying me (/s)
I am not huge fan of the ravioli but its great at 2 am with a dot of hot sauce.
I only coined the term Chef Boyardee index to highlight food inflation.
I remember the gas lines as a kid; that was the begiining of the death knell for the middle class (as manufacturing jobs left). Cold War spending delayed the inevitable, now here we are with our white-collar jobs leaving as well...
No. This economy is killer. If it weren’t for Obama it would be rip roaring right now.
An old adage is that those with money make out in a recession. That is still true and we’ve done great because of this recession, but we could be doing much better in a thriving economy now. We bought a home on the cheap, cars on the cheap, but this economy also comes with limited investment opportunities and inflation.
“I liked it better under the Carter administration.”
Ouch! That will leave a mark!
You aint seen nothin I’m fixin to dot some eyes! Are you with me?!!!
We survived that, somehow we will survive this.
Income is a little less than it was 5 years ago. Groceries are much higher. Insurance is way up and covers less. Gas is about a dollar per gallon more, as is diesel. Electricity is up. Obama is a drag, and not just in the effeminate way.
I do miss the daily drumbeat about Gas Prices, the Deficit and Military Deaths in the Middle East, but the Media has a Job to do protecting Democrat Presidents after all.
You know what they say, no News is good News.
Oh that’s not it. What I meant to say was, It’s not the News Reports, it’s who decides what News to Report.
Sure, but each time we end up changed for the worse. This country today is unrecognizable from 25 years ago.
But at least ‘the world is at peace, America’s reputation is restored and we no longer have troops in Iraq’.
I’m a bit better off, but none of it is because of dear leader.
Several generations from now, children will huddle around the campfires listening to the old people tell stories about how terrible things were before the odinga recovery.
If the economy were roaring, I’d be rich.
