This is not an attack but curious and ask this question to see if I am missing something. People who voted for Obama because he promised to do things that would make peoples lives better but I do not see anything much from him. The left defends him to no end so I wonder. I am not asking for talking points. I am asking about personal successes, something that truly has helped improve your life since Obama came into office.

Are you asking about successes as a direct result of Administration policies or successes that happened personally during the Obama Presidency?

As a direct result of his policies. I am also referring to financial. I know he has been good for the rich but wonder if he has been good for the middle class working man or women.

I'm a Leftist. I never voted for Obama (I don't vote for Dems and Repubs) and I don't have anything nice to say about him.

Well, I remember my retirement funds tanking in 2008, but the bank bailouts were the result of the Bush Administration and they stabilized my funds. So, thank you Mr. Bush. My retirement has done very well this and last quarter; so, you can say that the current administrative policies haven't been a drag on mutual funds lately.

Personally, I have a paid off house and vehicle. Though not directly a result of Obama policy, his policies did not prevent me from paying things off.

Specifics that are related to how Obama's policies helped you financially please. Better from what? a new girlfriend, pay raise, health reasons. Pretty good year does not tell us how Obama's policies helped you?

This summer is looking even better? How so?

Yea, I paid everything off in the Bush years. Bought a house 2 years ago but I attribute that to my own financial responsibility, the housing market crash and low interest rates. Those of us who are financially responsible with little or no debt and prepared did do better. Stock market is doing good and that is helping the rich but I am talking about the middle class. How did Obama help someone in the middle class.

With all the doom and gloom, people complaining about businesses and inability to find jobs, not being able to pull out from under big debt I wonder did anyone in the middle class benefit from Obama's policies? Is Obama's policies helping anyone who was in financial trouble since he came into office?
