I believe Romneycare and Obamacare are very similar, keeping in mind that one is small on the state level, while the other is much larger, on the federal level, and subject to a lot more rules, regulations, and laws.

Maybe in idea, but not in execution

I don't think you care about Republican vs Democrat, you just don't like Obama. No matter, you do not like him and anything he does will never meet with your approval. I also don't like Obama. I also don't like McCain, Palin, Romney, Hillary, Bernie, or any of the other ones no matter what part they are from. They are all same - politicians. I just hope and pray they do well. And I judge things as I see them, not because I don't like the person in office. I am never going to like the person in office. But I want us to well. And obviously, we are doing well. We are obviously much better off than when Obama first took office.

If you want to believe we are doing better, good for you, ignorance is bliss, but I know better

But you are cherry picking your stats again. When you say "recent history", you mean "no including President Bush", right?
Using another graph from the Wall Street Journal shows that Obama's low points were still higher than both Bushs:

No matter what the truth is, you will complain about Obama.
