Actually, Ford has NOTHING to do with the President; they refused government money. The unemployment rate is still very high, and many employers are not hiring du to fear of coming tax increases. The other two statistics you cite; I don't worry so much about the stock market as that is too volatile, and GDP...well I'm happy about that.
Ok first, the dow jones is not up 25% since Obama took office, it's up 25% from the low of his crash. Second, the job loss rate? This means people are still losing their jobs, that's not a good thing at all and it plunged because most people are already unemployed.
GDP may be up but only due to Government increases which are artificial. Lastly, Ford is doing well because Obama took over GM, and thats the end of that, say bye bye GM.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
