The President's Middle Class Speech
Glad he's getting back on target after a summer of fake scandals and thirty nine congressional votes to repeal the PPACA.
It was nice to hear a call for the Republican controlled House to sh!t or get off the pot on these issues. We need more jobs in this country and less wingnut rhetoric.

Let's see. 5 years in office, the Bamster has gotten every signature piece of legislation that he's asked for, and he's still blaming everyone else for the current jobless faux recovery. What a whiner.

What if everyone else actually is to blame? And, I'm not so sure it's a "faux" recovery either. Remember, you are in Detroit, the city that has hasn't done anything but cannibalize itself since the 1940s. The rest of the country isn't quite as effed up.

If everyone else is truly to blame, then Obama needs to fire his entire cabinet, his chief of staff, his myriad czars and advisors, and start with a clean slate. It would also go without saying that he last five years his been a collossal waste of time and energy, and extended the suffering a millions of Americans needlessly. But I suspect one could make that case regardless.
As far as this being a faux recovery, what was that unemployment rate again?

There would also have to be a wholesale elimination of the entire Republican Party, including all of it's supporters and sycophants.
To answer your question;
Better than it was in December of 2008.

I see my friend Whell is back to his old self. Doesn't that echo chamber ever get old, Mike? It's only five years if you stick your forefingers in your ears and scream real loud.

We did that in 2008 but the ditch we'd been driven into was impossibly deep to fix in a single term...
We've been recovering since.

Another supporter of recycling. You really can keep using the same material, no matter how old, worn, tattered and wrong it is.

Chemical weapons though.
Funny it was Billie Boy who stopped regulating derivatives, and the war is certainly not the only reason we're so far in the hole.

Uh huh. Yeh, riiight .
What was the congressional vote count when that piece of mendacious
legislation hit Clinton's desk, again? Do we need another civics lesson on how a bicameral legislature actually works and what a phyrric victory is in terms of vetoing a veto proof bit of legislation?
