If income levels are not given in constant dollars, they are really not valid. Here is a good synopsis of Obama's economic record from the left-leaning Factcheck.org website.

As for fixing Bush's messes, Obama is generating messes far faster than he is fixing them. The increasing share of part time workers in the job market is also lost in the figures that you cited above. Anyway, we only have to survive two more years of Obama before the healing can begin.

From your link:

Millions of Americans have gained health insurance because of Obamacare, and the number signing up for Medicaid keeps rising. But the exact number of newly insured won’t be known for some time.
Those signing up for private insurance in Obamacare marketplaces for 2015 will find 25 percent more insurance companies competing for their business.
Marketplace premiums for 2015 are averaging 0.8 percent lower than this year, according to preliminary data.
Median household income declined 4.6 percent during Obama’s first five years, and nearly 5.5 million more Americans were living in poverty last year than before he took office.
The federal debt owed to the public has more than doubled under Obama, rising by 103 percent. But federal spending has gone up only 7.9 percent.
This year the economy is adding jobs rapidly and paychecks are rising faster than inflation at last. Real weekly earnings for workers, adjusted for inflation, averaged 0.7 percent higher in August than when Obama entered office.
And the total number of jobs in September was nearly 5.5 million higher than when Obama was first sworn in. Four times more jobs have been added under Obama than were gained in George W. Bush’s eight years in office.
Under Obama, U.S. crude oil production has increased by 70 percent, while oil imports have gone down by more than half.
New figures show annual handgun production has nearly tripled under Obama, rising by 184 percent as of last year.

Is that debt from Bush's wars? Is the wage problem because companies are making, and keeping more profit for themselves, and paying white collar workers more? My chart shows median income getting higher. Who's link is right?

FTR, 09 can't be counted, that is Bush's year up until October.
