OBAMA: Give him a break

Remind me again what our president is doing wrong?

I am not a Republican or a Democrat so I am not partial either way. But when I see my house is worth what it was in 2006, interest rates are around 5 percent, unemployment is at the lowest its been since 2008, the unemployment rate fell in October even as more Americans began looking for work, there are early signs of rising pay especially as more jobs emerge in higher paying sectors, and minimum wage would be higher if anybody would help our president.

Inflation is in check, our exports are showing signs that we are exporting more, Bin Laden is gone and our troops are coming home from a war that our president inherited.

Is he really doing that bad or is it like global warming, which nobody can agree on, either? It is impossible to make everybody happy but I think the sky is not really falling in.
