Report Card on Obama's First Two Years
By K.E. Campbell
Two years ago today, Barack Obama was inaugurated as president of the
United States. Are you better off today than you were two years ago?

Numbers don't lie, and here are the data on the impact he has had on
the lives of Americans:

The "hope and change" is working great for me.

I am far better off now than I was two year ago.

The American thinker report shows decent progress too. Stock market up
50% percent, cheaper housing, CPI up only 3.8%. In addition, American
thinker neglects to mention that we are in the midst of a broad
economic recovery that I call "Obama recovery".

Inflation and debt, doubtless, is a worry to me, to a greater extent
than the bond market seems to think.

I still can't find a job doing what I was doing - building commercial
cabinetry . This is because there is *NO* commercial construction going on
here to speak of . You might be better off , but there's still an awful lot
of people without jobs . A lot of people have dropped off the unemployment
rolls , which gives a skewed picture of the true situation .
I'm luckier than some , my wife's job is just barely enough to make ends
meet , and I contribute what I can when I can find work . I'm hoping my
handyman business picks up when the weather warms a bit , or this is gonna
be one mighty damn bleak summer .
