Jobless rates are down. Stock Market has hit record levels and if you bought SPider Index stock back when the Market was super low you could have a lot of money right now! Economy is doing well thanks to his Stimulous Package. Didn't we have some sort of old car turn in? Well that got rid of a lot of junkers and helped the environment. Universal insurance! Despite what a lot of you rich users think, many did not have insurance and suffered for years. Thank Obama! Our global image is on the mend because of him. ISIS is on the run, and we have the leaders Wife and Child I am told.
Life seems better to me. I have a job and did not when Bitch Bush was President. So maybe I am biased?

I think (country wise) we've been involved in more military operations under Obama than with Bush (but I could be wrong). Either way, I'm surprised by how willing Obama is and has been to get involved in military operations without the consent of congress and, therefore, the people. Especially considering that was one of his main campaign points in 2007-08.
Jobless rates may be down but I suspect the average income is also down. I hate the idea that people think all businesses intentionally aren't hiring people. If it profits a business to have more employees, then it will. If it doesn't, then they won't. The government should not be involved in the private sector practically at all.
I haven't given much attention to the stock market in years (there is no logic in that madness) so I don't have any knowledge on Obama's impact on it.
The Stimulus packages were started (and mostly done by Bush) so if your considering them to be a positive thing then you have to give Bush most of the credit. That being said, I didn't and still don't support the government stimulating the economy like that. Let the failing businesses fail and the succeeding ones succeed. Otherwise, medicore companies led by medicore minds will somehow exist and prevent more innovative ones from rising up.
Where did all those cars go?
We wouldn't have to worry about universal insurance if we didn't have something like insurance. I dislike and wish things like social security retirement, medicare, medicaid, and insurance (as well as the IRS) were gone or dissolved. I also wish our money was based on something (like a yellowish mineral...) rather than nothing. Then we wouldn't have to deal with all this inflation nonsense and currency exchange changes nearly as much.
I would say the world hates us now more than ever. Russia certainly hates us more than they used to. I'm sure Syria, Egypt, and Libya despise us even more. North Korea is even crazier toward us (except for that NBA dude...).
ISIS, and more importantly what they represent, is not weakening. Ignorance is spreading and that faith combined with the governments that they have over there does not make an enlightened group of people. Most of the terrorists that we experience don't care if they die and are brain washed to think a bunch of nonsense. This has nothing to do with President Obama though. They hate us because they view us all as Christians or Jews and they absolutely have been brainwashed to HATE anyone who loves God and Jesus Christ as their savior (which makes sense, considering the devil is the best deceiver and he himself hates all those who serve The Christ).
I can't even comment on your last statement because of how ridiculous it is lol. I will say this, there are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to many people who vote and support/dislike political people based on things going on in their lives. I would never vote for a democrat just because I'm a teacher. I believe things like abortion are MUCH bigger than things that directly impact my personal wellbeing. Who cares about my job situation when millions of babies are being murdered in a multi-billion dollar abortion industry that is bent on making as much money as possible by destroying life (often times in extremely disgusting ways). Who cares about my job when billions of dollars are spent on wasteful things like flying a fricking junk of metal to freaking mars just to do some tests? There are bigger things in the world than me and my specific struggles.
