The Quinnipiac Poll may show Barack Obama to be the worst President since 1945, but it is clearly an outlier, and should be totally ignored.
The facts are that we have just learned that the unemployment rate is now, at 6.1 percent, at the lowest since September 2008, and over the past five months, more than a million jobs have been created, and last month, 288,000 jobs were created, the most in any month since the end of 2008.
So Barack Obama has succeeded in taking us out of the worst conditions of the Great Recession of George W. Bush. Additionally, the economic growth is really taking off, according to economists, the fastest growth in the first half of the year since 1999.
This has occurred despite constant obstructionism and refusal to cooperate of the Republican Party in Congress, and the only reason that wages are not higher, and the middle class and the poor are still in crisis, is due to their refusal to cooperate in creation of infrastructure jobs, raising the minimum wage, and extending unemployment compensation. So private sector jobs have been created in larger numbers than any previous President, but public sector jobs have become victim to the machinations of John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, et al.
But the Republicans are failing to prevent great progress, including the highest stock market finish in history today, and they will pay for this at the midterm election, as the Democrats can now say that the economic policy of Barack Obama is working, and that will motivate more Democrats and Independents to come out and vote in the midterm Congressional elections and the state elections.
If prosperity continues, by the time Barack Obama finishes his Presidency, he might be seen as one of the great Presidents on the issue of revival of the economy, and without a major war, which helped Franklin D. Roosevelt to push us out of the Great Depression after an equivalent six long years!
How short the conservatives memory WANT to be!
When Bush & Cheney along with the Republican controlled House & Senate finished their terms of embracing economic abuses across the nation, the economy was destroyed along with our whole banking system. At the bottoming free fall of the stock market to below 7000, many of the Middle Class’s retirement funds had been decimated. Savings in bank accounts were being depleted just to keep a family afloat.
Today under the visions of President Obama with Democratic Party’s takeover implementation of the direction the country in 2008, the economy has rebounded. My retirement funds in the stock market that is now around 17,000, have returned, grew, and prospered.
So from below 7000 to 17,000….and the President is failing?!?? Then we need more failures along this line, all day long.
