If nothing else, the shady practices and unprecedented interference should be exposed. It may not make a difference in this election, but we cannot let them get away with it.

The obstructors did everything they could to stop it and when they couldn't they lied about it but the economy picked up a head of steam right when we needed it most, in October. And if TPP had gotten out of the blocks we'd be doing even better. You wouldn't know it from the "populists" though.

It was all about racism and especially sexism.

And thanks for the post. So many on the right (and a few on the left sadly) work really hard to explain away and diminish Obama's successes with jobs. It's quite pathetic.
