Don't you think it is just a little bit bogus to measure economic improvement against the 2008 disaster (created by Democrats)? It literally would not have mattered if Hank Johnson were president since 2008, the stock market would be doing better, all the metrics you listed would be better. (Even Hank might have outperformed O when it comes to labor force participation, though). I mean, some of your points are just lies. Others are truthful but it is also truthful that the Sun rises in the morning. That doesn't mean O. has anything to do with it.

It is really worth noting that those who have been affected by the ACA are split evenly on whether they were helped or hurt by it. Half-and-half. So, while we are spending tons of money on it, as many people have been hurt by it as helped by it. Why would a government drop something like this on their people? What motivation would it have? By the way, the most harmful provisions have been deferred until after the election; so it is likely this poll is transitory, and that we'll see more pain inflicted on the public before these remaining major provisions are put into effect. There is, quite simply, no way to make the case for Obamacare being good policy. I don't care which side you're on politically.
