So, Obama prevented a second Great Depression. Things could have been a lot worse.
Go to your local mall, are people still buying things? Yes.
Go to the gas station, are people still buying gas? Yes.
Is there mass poverty and hunger riots? No.
The country is not in as bad as shape as politicians or the media makes it out to be. We are sure as heck doing a lot better than many other countries.

The deficit is terrible right now. I don't think the media is overreacting at all.
Obama didn't prevent a second great depression, they're just raising the debt limit. Yes people are still buying things, but a vast majority of them are using credit cards and racking up a lot of debt. Is there mass poverty? Yes there is, and it's quite evident that job market is absolutely awful.
