Gallup: Life got better for pretty much everyone under Obama
By Christopher Ingraham August 31

How Americans feel about the state of their lives have improved markedly in the eight years since Barack Obama was elected president, according to Gallup data released Tuesday.

In 2008, fewer than half of Americans said their life was good enough to be considered "thriving," according to Gallup. But that's changed: "The 55.4% who are thriving so far in 2016 is on pace to be the highest recorded in the nine years Gallup and Healthways have tracked it," according to the report.

Nine years? Throw a TARP over it.

bull excrement!

[LMAO]

The big reason why we aren't doing so bad is the rest of the world is doing worse. There is a saying that we are the cleanest dirty shirt in the hamper and that is true. However, we still are in the midst of one of the worse recoveries. And our rising deficits and especially are debt will guarantee that, at some point, we will catch up with everyone else and their fiscal problems unless these fiscal issues are addressed and seriously so.

So, for now, things are fairly quiet

Man I started into a real sad whiny rant, but then I reminded myself that there are people in this country way worse off than me, so I'll just call Bullshiite on the whole better under the fudgepacker's leadership crapola.

This thing is a load of garbage....

and about 105,000 for the first seven months of 2016.

What type of crappy sample size is that? Plus their method of picking people to poll stinks.

Oh, it is believable, all right. If he is your boss, if you work for the Federal Government, "under Obama" it probably did improve.

But for those who work under some other boss, or even those who are their own, (or those who aren't working at all), I seriously doubt it.

Riiight!  Tell that to the 94+ million unemployed.  Tell it also to those Americans that are now working two or three jobs just to make ends meet, thanks to Obamacare and Obama's economy. 

The only Americans that might be doing better are "Holder and Obama's people"....and only a subset of them.  The ones getting their lifestyle funded by the American taxpayer.  You can tell they're doing better...since ....they don't have to work for a living....they pay for their food with a "credit card".....they have a nice new phone stuck to their ears.... and they drive nice, new vehicles.  I wonder who is paying for their insurance now.  Oh wait....

I guess we are.

Maybe most like it that way... no work, still get money... what's not to like?

For that faction of Americans, they're happy as ...pardon the parasite analogy....

ticks on a hound's back.   And getting fatter and fatter....as the hound gets weaker and weaker.

With U-6 currently at 12% this is pretty much the worst news article I've ever seen.

I never figured out how that worked, after my unemployment ran out I was in deep shit, aside from a small amount of aid for food and being on MediCal for a time I was in deep deep shit! By the time I had my surgeries and was classified permanently disabled, that wonderful life of the unemployed cost me all my savings, a car and my home. Yup it was really wonderful and I expect to be able to recoup all that I lost right about the time our Sun goes super nova.
