Being on top of how the economy is performing is not only an interest of mine, but it benefits me in my consulting business. The fear that is still out there is just too great and not warranted. If you can't find something great about this economy, then you don't know how to look. Bad stuff too, but man things can be (and have been) much worse.

Man, Obama wins easily now...weird ad from Cain, craziness and inability from Perry, hypocrisy and people not wanting to vote for a Mormon for Romney, and now the GDP improving, the Dow rising, and Obama is in his element when campaigning. He was on Leno the other night, and questions from Leno that would have made Bachmann cry, Obama answered in his very casual upfront style. That dude is a PRESIDENT. Got bin Laden. Guided from afar to get Gaddafi (however you want to spell it) with no troops on the ground and no American lives lost. Recession ended. Stocks up. Banking no longer on verge of collapse. Going to get troops out of Iraq soon. No Republican has a chance.
I am impressed with your ability to call things out. I agree that unless Obama does some very stupid things over the next six months, he will get his second term and it will be in a landslide. The Republicans don't have a clue....
The economy starting to move is going to be a big boost, along with the silly flat tax proposals that won't pass muster under closer scrutiny.
