What the economy means for 2016

http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/06/politics/democrats-economy-2016/index.html

On Friday, March 6th, positive labor market news was released, going beyond most economists' expectations. 295,000 jobs were created in February and the unemployment is the lowest since May 2008. In 2010, the unemployment rate was the all-time high of 10% and has been steadily dropping to 5.5% since then. This proves  that beyond popular belief, Obama has made a difference in our economy. This will make the democrats have an easier time being reelected and to gain control of congress. With the unemployment rate stabilizing, Republicans are now looking to focus on issues other than the economy, such as foreign policy, as they head to 2016.  Economists' predict that we will see the unemployment rate go back up because people have seen these good numbers. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi hailed Friday's jobs report as a "momentous milestone in the longest uninterrupted stretch of private job creation in our history," before remarking that "more needs to be done." 

This is related to US government and politics because it involves the elections and the President. This will be great information to use for campaigning for the democrats as they try to regain control in Congress. This makes President Obama look remarkably wetland people will see it as a sign to vote for the democratic party again.

I am so thankful that unemployment in the United States has dropped. Our economy was horrendous when Obama took office and this article has made me realize that he has actually done something very good for our country. I believe that Obama has been an average President. He was able to get the economy back up; however, he did not accomplish many of the things he proposed to do.
