The stock market being at all-time highs isn't much when the average person is making the same as they did in 1997.

or whatever crazy adjusted for inflation value we're at.

Letterman makes more in a commercial break than his average viewer.

- Being better than the other guy doesn't make you good. It just makes you better than that guy. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 19:30 1
  - Whatever -- nm - amoxy Nov 4, 19:34
And who is to blame for that? Hint: not Obama. - David Nov 4, 18:57 17
- His legacy? Are we seeing the same *leader* of the free world? - Will Hunting Nov 4, 19:00 16
  - We will look back at this presidency in 10-15 years as a tremendous success. -- nm - Tim Nov 4, 19:05 1
    - The first six years of it anyway. Who knows what nonsense will occur over the next 9 months. - David Nov 4, 19:15
  - Obama already has established his legacy. The GOP has just done a fantastic job hiding it from America. -- nm - MDH Nov 4, 19:04 8
    - Middling economic growth for the common person, questionable success on health care, unstable foreign policy, mediocre judicial stuff - Will Hunting Nov 4, 19:12 7
      - Healthcare has been a knockout success. Millions more covered, budget deficit reduced significantly. Healthcare costs stabilizing. - pmb Nov 4, 19:42
      - and he has failed to use his +15 Presidential Staff od Smiting to bend his political opponents to his will. his legacy is worthless! -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 19:26 4
        
        (seriously, you sound like an aggrieved GFB complaining about Man of Steel) -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 19:31 3
        
        Let's see, defending the dude with a 32% approval rating. I think you have these roles backwards. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 19:34 2
        
        Well, Man of Steel probably has a 32% approval rating, so maybe znu has it right -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 19:38
        
        Was that a typo or are you just misinformed? -- nm - David Nov 4, 19:38
      - And yet they failed to beat him in 2 generals - eag Nov 4, 19:21
  - I would hope legacy is measured by what you did policy wise. - ty97 Nov 4, 19:02
  - We've witnessed a 6 year long tantrum from half the US. That's what's happened. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 19:02
  - I'm seeing what he is. You're seeing what happened around him. - David Nov 4, 19:02 2
    - I'm seeing the most ineffective President of my lifetime (not worst) fail in nearly every manner possible - Will Hunting Nov 4, 19:06 1
      - You're so silly. -- nm - David Nov 4, 19:14
