2014 should be a really good year for our President

With unemployment getting down perhaps below 6% by the later part of the year, leading economic indicators for 2014 looking good and Obama Care more fully implemented. I think his approval will move back up to the mid to upper 50's.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I want a good year for workers which hasn't happened in 30 years. liberal_at_heart Dec 2013 #2

Ironically enough, a good year for the worker would translate into a good year for the President. winter is coming Dec 2013 #4

He'll hold onto the Senate. RandySF Dec 2013 #3

Under 6% seems optimistic but I very much hope you're right. last1standing Dec 2013 #5

Wages, retirement, unions. It needs to be a good year for the worker, not for the president. The President has a good paying job. The workers don't.
