Obama: ‘The Folks Who Are Doing the Best ... Complain the Most’

Speaking Saturday at the Congressional Black Caucus' Annual Awards Dinner, President Obama said the people most opposed to him are doing the best under his policies: 

"So I just want everybody to understand — we have made enormous progress.  There’s almost no economic measure by which we are not better off than when I took office.  (Applause.)  Unemployment down.  Deficits down.  Uninsured down.  Poverty down.  Energy production up.  Manufacturing back.  Auto industry back.  But — and I just list these things just so if you have a discussion with one of your friends — (laughter) — and they’re confused.  Stock market up.  Corporate balance sheet strong.  In fact, the folks who are doing the best, they’re the ones who complain the most.  (Laughter and applause.)  So you can just point these things out."
