The economy has been gaining jobs for the last 25 straight months.

The stock market has regained most of the levels it was at prior to the 2008 housing crash.

It's happening slowly, but the country is bouncing back economically and will continue to do so in the next 4 years. The critics of Obama know it, that's why they're so pissed off, because they know he's going to get credit for it.

You do not just snap your finger at the biggest recession and banking crisis of the modern age and just "fix" it in 2 years. Even my Romney's own plan he'd need until 2020 to get the economy back on track.

Jobs haven't been created at a great enough rate to even support the number of people entering the workforce. Estimaes are that 150k-200k jobs per month need be created to keep up. Very few months have even 150k jobs been created. This chart is very telling:

Stock market has little to do with the economy and even less to do with Obama. Is there a point here?

Bouncing back? Unemployment is higher than when Obama took office and with Obamacare  - greater taxes, workers reduced to part-time to avoid benefits, and mass layoffs. Not to mention the fiscal cliff.

You'd do well to research your points instead of blindly believing them, because they are completely unfounded and inaccurate.

Wow, what an absurd graph. Obama's bar is so small because the US was *losing* more than 700,000 jobs per month when he took office, and it took time to dig out of that hole--the hole that Bush dug. Since March 2010, the US has added an average of 141,000 jobs per month--which would rank sixth in that chart, ahead of every Rebuplican president except Reagan.
