1. I SAW THAT TOO!

I was going to post something here but I got distracted.
The thing about Rachel is she is supercalifragilistic good.
She gives you a spoonful of sugar with her funny and gentle manner and then...
She crams the medicine RIGHT DOWN YOUR FREAKING THROAT.
Then she smiles and laughs sweetly again.

I would really like to be drinking at the bar with Rachel (as long as she's making the drinks).
Rachel is the freaking BOMB.

2. I have a feeling Obamas years will bring those numbers down.

2005 is ages ago.

3. Which numbers 'down' to where?

[dkf]

6. They were showing how the different quintiles experienced

Income growth for the period listed but it ended at 2005. All income levels under the dems grew more than the best quintile for the repubs with the bottom doing the best.

8. I know that. You said numbers would be 'down' under Obama.

Trying to understand your meaning.

[dkf]

10. I imagine the income growth during the Obama years is quite dismal.

Most who got laid off and found new jobs experienced significant pay cuts. Government workers around the country were furloughed or reduced in pay. I feel bad for Obama but the fact is his numbers will be bad.

11. Gotcha. Yes.
