So median incomes haven't been sh!tty under Obama? So the Shiller index isn't way above average? Or even Buffet's measure? So companies aren't borrowing money to buy back shares ("Bloomberg: S&P 500 Companies Spend Almost All Profits on Buybacks"...sounds like what healthy businesses do in a growing, "booming" economy)
So HP hasn't been laying off thousands upon thousands of people yearly in Obama's wonderful, booming economy (Link, with another 41,000 in 2014)?
The rich get richer and the average American isn't seeing it...you know, everything Obama campaigned on.
Keep *Gurgling*

The only thing I would say to Hondo is make sure you know the difference between nominal and real gains. ZIRP has a way of making things "cloudy" so to speak. Short run nominal gains do not necessarily equal long term real success and getting the USA back on track
