Yep, that's right - the President whom the rightwingers love to hate has overseen one of the greatest economic recoveries in the history of the United States of America. And this despite a world economy that isn't exactly doing all that well.
Jobs data show US beating global economy
By Robin Harding in Washington
The dollar surged on Friday as a strong jobs report showed the US is running ahead of a struggling global economy and raised the chances of an early rate hike by the US Federal Reserve.
September’s jobs report showed 248,000 new jobs, compared with expectations of 215,000. The unemployment rate fell by 0.2 percentage points to 5.9 per cent and upward revisions of 69,000 jobs erased the seeming weakness of last month’s report.

“This morning there is a sigh of relief on both Wall Street and Main Street,” said Sung Won Sohn, a professor at California State University. “The slowdown in August was an aberration and the economy is back on a healthier growth trajectory.”
The figures raise the six-month rolling average of payrolls growth to 245,000, a pace that suggests a robust underlying recovery, boosting hopes that US strength will offset weakness elsewhere in the world economy.

We've now recovered from a lot of the damage done by 8 years of Bush/Cheney idiocy. While there are obviously still problems with the economy, especially in regards to wealth and income inequality, the only way that this will be addressed while economic growth is simultaneously safeguarded is if Democrats regain control of Congress.
Please get out and vote in the Midterms and make sure that all your friends and family do so, as well!
