Uhhh....turn on the news. Any news channel. I don't see ISIS organizing bake sales or Putin singing folk songs in Syria or the Ukraine. In the US most all new jobs are part time low wage jobs (which is fine by me since it drives down prices). Gas prices are low but that has nothing to do with Obama. In fact the economy would be even more of a mess if he didn't look the other way on fracking. I mean, come on man, we can all find and twist facts to our agenda but some of this stuff is serious and Obama is getting played hard. If you can't see that then you are just an ideologue. I am too but I'm a realist. I love immigration because I can hire cheap labor. Let them come here since it also replenishes the young who will pay my social security and medicare. Most European and Asian countries are demographic timebombs. Look at Greece. Your statement that things are waaaaaay better is an exaggeration. Was Bush a hothead, yes, but I'd rather people fear us than think we are a bunch of rubes.
