Obama's economic policies cannot be reasonably said to have failed

3. All I know is that in 2007/8 when I was looking for work, there were 20 jobs listed in my town.

Literally. Now there's hundreds. I know that my ex's company has hired 15 new workers since 2009, and has doubled their profit (while paying new staff members.) I know that my Realtor friends have been working so hard with numerous home sales this year, that they can't catch a breath. I know that my friends with money in the Stock Market have done well and made back what they lost under Bush.

I know that in my town, there have been numerous new shops and restaurants that opened since 2009, that have more biz than they can handle.

We may never recover from what Bush and his cronies did to our economy, but we can get back to a place where everyone has a chance at a job in America... but not electing the same damn people that put us here. We need to control Congress and Senate, too. The republicans voted 400 times for investigating the govt, but have NOT voted on that jobs bill which could people people back to work, and shave the unemployment numbers.

But all I know, is what I see every day. And pretty soon, people will stop using that stupid and cliched term "in this economy," and just accept that their business is doing well, that their house sold the first week, and that they have a job.
