Are people's memories that poor?
The Stock Market fell to about 6,500 shortly after Obama took office. We were losing about a million jobs a month. Two of the Big Three Automakers were on the verge of bankruptcy and housing values had fallen about 40-50%.
Of course things are not rosy today, but they are a damn sight better than they were when Obama came into office. The stock market has nearly tripled - having its best performance in any President's history.
We have created 8.2 million private sector jobs - more than 8 times the number created under George W Bush's entire eight years and we continue to grow.
Unemployment is about 6.7% and it has been 46 months since we had a month of job losses.
And of course, Chrysler and GM are now more profitable than ever.
Is there more to do? Yes! But the President has done all of this with an obstinate obstructive Congress fighting him every step of the way.
And what's more, for the first time in our nation's history we have Health Care available for all Americans. Obamacare has been a god send to millions of Americans, and has provided more protection and coverage for millions more. ~~Grant Devereaux

Government respect for the Bill Of Rights.
This is a puzzle. Which of them is being disrespected?

The conventional view of Obama, repeated in last night’s Republican response by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), is that he “talks a lot about income inequality.” But as a description of Obama’s speech, that isn’t quite right. Obama used the words equal, equality, and inequality just eight times. He used opportunity and opportunities 14 times. He used work, workers, working, workforce, and hard-working more than 60 times. Thirty-six of those references were directly about economic labor.

The distinction is important. Most people think income inequality is fine—in fact, it’s proper—when one person works harder than another. Obama’s argument isn’t just that the economy has left incomes unequal. It’s that the economy is failing to honor work.

That’s the debate ahead. Can the free market be trusted to lift working families out of poverty? If not, should the government step in? Ultimately, do most Americans believe more in capitalism or in labor? Do they see government as a threat to freedom or as an ally of honest work?

For more than 30 years, Republicans prevailed in that debate because people had lost faith in government. But what happens if they lose faith in the economy? When the free market stops serving the work ethic, look out.

The GOP is in trouble, and Plastic Woman speaking for them last night did not help;
