The evil socialist commie Kenyan Usurper who is in over his head and is forced to rely on tele-promp-ers has taken the Dow Jones Industrial Average from 7449 in 2009, to a record 17,000 - yesterday...

AND in a short pre July 4th holiday trading day today, the Dow reached a second consecutive record high day at 17068.20...The NASDAQ also set record highs this week.
This strikes many wall street types as the beginning of a boom - bull market - brought on by the improvement in employment...
http://online.wsj.com/...
The unemployment rate dropped to 6.1% from a high of nearly 8% at the end of the Bush II era, when Obama first took office.
Also, home mortgage rates are down around 4% again...

so inflation does not seem to be a problem as yet. This was accomplished DESPITE the GOP both at the federal level and in various republican/teabag/libertarian controlled states working in concerted effort to make the US economy - thus the President - fail.
On an anecdotal level, there are many places posting available jobs here in South Eastern PA over the last 2 months...more than I have personally seen for years. One person I know, who has worked part time at a regional supermarket for over 2 years just got a full time job with that same company, one of the first available in all that time. She now has health insurance and pension benefits and other "real employee" benefits, as well as hourly pay over $11, plus a .50 cent per hour shift differential. She is now a very happy person.
Thank you, President Obama for being the amazing human being you are. I have no idea how you contain your emotions with the moronic bigoted haters that poison our country these days, but you have my personal respect and support and I wish you and your family a great July 4th weekend.
And...Oh, yeah, professor...did you ever think about serving on the Supreme Court some time in the future?
