Sensia, Obama had both the House and Senate for the first two years of his term. It was such a disaster that the Republicans were elect specifically to obstruct any more of Obama's plans to "save" us. Obama needs to read the will of the people, like Clinton did, and cooperate with the Republicans (it almost makes me gag to say that). Obama is doing the obstructing, not the Republicans.

the Bush effect
Median household incomes down: 0.6% lower in 2007 than in 2000
-
Men’s earnings down: 0.38% less in 2007 than in 1999
-
Women’s earnings can’t keep up: continued upward swing but were unable to “overcome other drags on household income”
-
More Americans in poverty: 5.7 million more people lived in poverty in 2007 than did in 2000
The Center for Policy and Budget Priorities notes, “never before on record has
poverty been higher and median income for working-age households lower at the end of a multi-year economic expansion than at the beginning. The new data add to the mounting evidence that the gains from the 2001-2007 expansion were
concentrated among high-income Americans.”
