Average wages have dropped under Obama. Part-jobs have been rapidly replacing permanent jobs and the number of people in this country who are not participating in the labor force has never been higher. We can debate these facts in the appropriate forum if you want, but the state of the economy is one of the main factors that voters dumped so many of Obama's supporters from office on Tuesday.

A deep recession, or as you put it an "almost depression" has always been followed by a robust recovery - until now. The result is that there will be more Republicans in the House of Representatives in 2015 than at any time during the past 84 years. Had gas prices still been hovering near $4/gallon, imagine how bad it might have been for Democrats. Timing is everything in politics and it is a bad time to be a Democratic politician.

Like I said, you guys are pissed because he isn't fixing Bush's mess fast enough. Bush screwed us into one of the biggest holes we have ever been in, it takes time to fix that mess.
