Our country is shitting out oil right now, there is an over-abundance of supply which has caused the price to drop dramatically, and it has nothing to do with him.

-Unemployment & Stock Market has to do with the Federal Reserve keeping rates so low and pumping the economy full of cash for 6+ years. Obama taxes everyone, expands government regulation. He demonizes successful people and business owners. Back to low interest rates: this has also caused the rich to get richer and the income gap to widen, something Obama opposes. Poor people don't own the stock market. Also, the jobs that have come back are many part time jobs due to Obamacare regs, etc. And the unemployment rate is down due to many leaving the work force. We have had job growth in this country no doubt, but it has not been explosive or enough to keep up with population growth.

And the main reasons Dems got their asses kicked:

-People see him as totally incompetent when it comes to foreign policy with respect to Russia/Ukraine, Isis, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Ebola, et al. No tact. React from Crisis to Crisis. Deflect blame on others. Take zero accountability. And cover up when need to (Libya).

-He has no more excuses for why he can't get anything done. And the current status quo wasn't working and people see him and his leadership style of arrogance as a key part of that.
