Not at all. No matter what unemployment rate you look at, they have all dropped.

In case you haven't noticed it, the Middle East has been unstable for the past forty years if not longer. Nothing is going to change that. No sense us having our troops there if we cannot solve the problem.

I would not consider them a global threat. They pulled off a handful of attacks in Europe, but not anything else outside of Iraq. They've lost 60% to 70% of their territory and are quickly retreating. However, they are retreating to Syria where the United States cannot get them.
You are more likely to drown in your own bathtub than die from a terrorist attack.

A lot of people complain about this. My healthcare went up only slightly; I have Kaiser here in California. But at the same time we have more people with healthcare than ever before - nearly 91% of Americans now have healthcare.
People are saying that Obama has destroyed America and I'm just not seeing it. When he took office exactly half of the houses on my street were empty, and now they are all full. It was a ghost town here. Construction just stopped - buildings half built just remained unfinished for years. I understand my little home town doesn't represent the entire country, but I am hearing the same things from everyone. People are no longer loosing their jobs and loosing their homes. I am not saying everything is beautiful, but you need to remember where we were in 2008 with our economy at a stand still. This was a not a four or an eight year problem - this is more of a ten to twenty year problem. We are exactly where we hoped we would be at this time.
I am just not seeing how our country has been destroyed, not after eight years of Bush that brought the United States and nearly the rest of the world economy to a halt.
