Sorry you haven't been more successful, CJ.

you voted for this thing?

When you take away the crowds, Obama gets noticeably smaller. He shrinks up inside of himself. He just doesn’t seem to have the confidence to do the job of President, and it’s getting worse and worse. Case in point - just a few days before I left, I saw first hand the President of the United States yelling at a member of his staff. He was yelling like a spoiled child. And then he pouted for several moments after. I wish I was kidding, or exaggerating, but I am not. The President of the United States threw a temper tantrum. The jobs reports are always setting him off, and he is getting increasingly conspiratorial over the unemployment numbers. I never heard it myself, but was told that Obama thinks the banking system is out to get him now. That they and the big industries are making him pay for trying to regulate them more."

Generally the mean, and the median go up. Right now we are in the midst of a recession, measuring to today is measuring to a temporary low point. Measured from before the start of the recession the median went up.

And that's median household income, which 1 - Doesn't include all forms of income, and 2 - Ignores the fact that households have been shrinking.
