@Frank Apisa,
Frank, You've stated it quite well; blaming Obama for the slow growth in our economy is not realistic - no matter how desperate one is. There's a world recession going on, and the US economy is barely hanging on by the skin of our teeth. When the world economy is in shambles, you can't expect one country to be creating jobs. It only means most people don't understand simple math or economic concepts.
One has to look at our unemployment rate vs all the developed countries of the world; we're doing pretty good by those standards.
That's also one reason why our stock market and bonds are doing well; most investors know that equities in the US is more reliable than most other country's. They're investing in the US more than they are in their own countries.
Relatively speaking, the US dollar is holding its own.
Most people have the misconception that our deficit will kill our economy, but that's not true. During WWII, our country held the biggest national debt, and we came out very strong compared to other countries.
The bottom line is that we must have faith in our economy, because that's all we have left. If our economy is doomed, the rest of the world will be worse off. We all know the US bond holdings of China and Japan. They can't afford to create handicaps for our country's economy.
