Obama has done absolutely nothing to make things better. I honestly don't believe he cares to. I guess it is not his concern what happens to the middle class as long as he can shovel money at his friends.
I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Mr. Perfect has assured me that technological progress does not have a disruptive effect on society. Those former construction and retail workers are probably too lazy to get jobs.I saw a chart recently that show the amount of new retail construct there was in the US several years ago compared to today. There was 9 times what there is now. All the people that would have worked in those retail outlet are now doing what? Between the disruptive effect of online trade and cheap(by every meaning of the word) imports from China there is a big squeeze of the middle and lower classes going on. The lower classes have Obama and big government However that is only temporary as more and more people enter the lower class.
Obama made the mess much worse with his 1.2 trillion dollar stimulus/crony bailout With Obamacare cronyism with his attacks on large segments of the American economy.
AS for disruptive tech there are no jobs for anyone looking for one over 50 There are no jobs for anyone under 30 with anything but a STEM degree and there are only so many STEM jobs that are ever going to be available. Seems all the factories where people used to work in the US have been shipped to China.
The reason for sending all those factories to China was to get access to Chinese markets for high tech gadgets
Which suddenly doesn't seem to be working so well:

Which in turn just goes to show how idiotic our New World Order political establishment in the US really is.
Given the reception the Political Establishment and the MSM have given Trump it seems they still refuse to see the clearly obvious results of their extreme stupidity
so, you honestly and without sarcasm think sitting on a factory line putting lavender in boxes will recreate the middle class ?
i cant tell when your being absurd anymore.

America is betrayed, fleeced by Wall Street crooks .. they destroyed White middle class America.
A good sample is this :
Facebook is now 6th biggest company in S&P with $ 345 B market cap, spending $ 14 m for the security of Zuckerberg last 3 yrs.
At the same time, Intel lays off 12,000 engineers and technologists .. Intel market cap $ 142 B (40% of Facebook)
If Facebook disappears today, nothing, absolutely nothing negative, will effect American economy .. in contrary, the Newspapers will again add revenue avoiding going broke .. people will gossip less .. in a nutshell, FB business has "zero economic value" for America .... But , wall street crooks, spin and spin FB making money.
On the other hand
If Intel disappears today, all kinds of things would stop functioning (including what Pentagon is all about), 100,000 "high paid engineers" will lose job, Koreans and Japanese and Chinese will dominate all technology and and and .. zero $ paid for Intel CEO Brian Krzanich security.
Well, Wall Street Crooks do not care for America's future .. they get money from FED with 0% rate, pump and dump rubbish (ever thought why no "hedge funds" in Germany ? ? they all in NY & London .. Germans busy making real things .. making money old fashion way)
In the process, American middle class loses and loses .. you no "greatest" anymore, neither "exceptional", Doc.
No, it ain't Obama .. no, Doc .. this going on since long long time, since Truman.
B4 Truman, things in America were made old fashion way.
Goldman sold "no doc mortgages", packaged them into securities, insured it with AIG, sold them to municipalities and universities as AAA investment grade papers, Paulson (Goldman body) shorted to the balls f*cking them all .. all legal .. Paulson became an "American Hero", American middle class home owners paid the price, American economy wiped out .. FED (Goldman accomplice) "re-funded" Goldman for papers not worth 5 cents on the dollar with "dollar for dollar" free money, Helicopter Money.
