I don't think (unless you happen to be one of the top 1% who couldn't care less about job growth or income inequality) that many people are happy with the current economy.

The President will have to argue some counterfactuals as well as own things that have happened on his watch.

But the trend lines on growth and unemployment , facts about government spending and modest good news on payrolls show that the President is currently presiding over an economy that is slowly and weakly starting to move forward since he took office.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
