All data I've seen suggests that Obama had a positive impact on the economy (at least as a whole, obviously different industries will grow and shrink with changing policy). Job growth was up. Unemployment was down. He bailed out the auto industry (which i disagreed with at the time) and saved potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs and had the bailout money paid back before he left office. If you want people to embellish your baseless "reality" where Obama was train wreck for the economy is suggest you join your Russian comrades on Breitbart.

Nope, seeing as my FIL and MIL had a thriving business until 2011 (AFTER Obama opened up the NAFTA floodgates) and had to shutter their business because of their contracts moving to Mexico, I do not like him. He had no positive impact on the economy, all he did was give the banks money that could have gone elsewhere. The too big to fail needed to fail. These banks need to be broken up and monitored every step of the way. No president will do that, however.

Unemployment was not down, (I used to be one of those ADP Data miners that the government uses. I know how it works.) The unemployment numbers do not include those that stopped looking, or ended up taking jobs making less than they did originally. They also do not take into account people that were forced to take on part time jobs to just make ends meet.

Sorry, taking one full time job and making it three part time jobs does not count as job growth.
