And this is the problem. You are comparing the last twenty-five years and saying "Obama is the problem" which is completely false.
We had the wind sucked out of us in 2008, leading the entire world into a huge recession. You are taking a twenty-five year span and complaining about meager income raises when the truth was people lost their jobs and homes, and entire families were financially wiped out. This didn't happen under Obama's watch. In fact, it happened under President Bush, although I don't fully believe you can "blame this on Bush".
Even the Republican party has dropped the entire discussion about our economy.
