You're an idiot.
You do realize the country was on the brink of a depression right? Obviously, these numbers need to be taken in context. I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue that the country is where it needs to be economically...but you can make the case that things are getting better. I don't understand what timeframe you're working on regarding seeing improvements in the economy, but I would I would think it's common sense that it would require 8 years to improve an economy that was destroyed after 8 years of failed policy.
Well the timeframe Obama gave said that by now we would be under 6% so if you have an issue with people's expectations you should take it up with the President.
And a presidential term is 4 years not 8; Obama has to make a case as to why he shuld be re-elected and "this job is hard" and "I need more time" are not good excuses especially not when the progress being made is so paltry.
