Since President Obama took office, the economy has added 8.7 million jobs. On many fronts, there's a lot to cheer. More people are getting back to work. Gas prices are extremely low. The stock market is back near its all-time highs. Home prices have rebounded in most parts of the country. Even wages and consumer spending are finally starting to show signs of a pickup. Unemployment is now down to 5% -- a healthy level that the U.S. hasn't seen since before the financial crisis of 2008.
