    Thank God and president Obama because we were loosing an astronomical 700,000 jobs a month.....can you fathom that? Now we have gained jobs for at least 6 or 7 years straight. What made that happen? Democrats policies!! They passed a lot of laws and Now America is Back!! Has anyone been thanking the president or Democrats? No, not the media, of course not the republicans.... the great that has been done needs to be celebrated and more needs to be encouraged. And people will be even more motivated just by constantly seeing the positive that has occurred. That's why the President should even more be out at factories, new start up programs, stimulus projects.....Highlighting the great things Americans are doing and how Republicans need to compromise to pass laws to keep the success going.
