'What is he smoking?': POTUS: We're much better off, people just don't 'feel it'

"We've had the longest run of uninterrupted private sector job growth in our history. We have seen deficits cut by more than half."– Obama

Remember when President Obama said “The world’s always been messy … we’re just noticing now in part because of social media.”

Apparently nobody on social media talks about the economy because people just don’t feel how awesome everything is now that Obama has laid hands upon it.

He says it’s mostly because we haven’t raised the minimum wage or spent enough federal money on “infrastructure” or “job training.” Nobody seemed to be buying what he was selling though.

@60Minutes where's the area of the country with all this growth ? I know more ppl that don't work than do work ?

But the unemployment rate is down. How can that be…unless millions have just given up looking for work in this lousy economy? Oh, wait.
