>> Last year was the best year for job growth since 1999.

Well, that's real impressive considering

- The WORST year, I guess in my lifetime, was 2009, during which in 9 months Barack Obama oversaw the worst job losses you or I ever saw;

- Over the course of the Obama administration, a time when economic recovery SHOULD have spurred excellent job growth every single year, we have seen the most stagnant in the history of American economic recoveries since FDR wrecked the 30s;

- Just slightly behind last year in job growth was 2005, when the Bush Tax Cuts were taking full effect and the inherited Clinton Recession and 9/11 should have collapsed the economy, yet job growth in '04, '05, 06 was just damned near the same as 2014.

I really don't see what you're celebrating. We could have done at least as well with no president at all.
