The latest misery index under the Obama administration is 10.5, according to NPA Services Inc.
Obama is doing so well he is 11th worst , 14th worst and 23rd worst in the president's Misery index...
Oh by the way where is George Bush??? First appears 2008, 27th.. 9.65
Also Obama has the dubious distinction also of being the ONLY President in history whose administration has purposely created unemployment!
See below why 41% businesses not hiring!!!
The highest one-year misery index under President Barack Obama was 12.11,
and Obama's average has been 10.78.
The highest under Bush was 9.65 in 2008
and his average was 8.11.
The misery index under President Jimmy Carter
averaged 16.26, with a high of 20.76 in 1980.
Then President Ronald Reagan took over the index was 17.97, his highest.
If any president had an excuse to blame the previous administration, Reagan did.
Instead the misery index declined by 9.61 points to 9.57 end of 1988.

41% of Small Businesses Froze Hiring Over ObamaCare
We were startled because we know that employers were concerned about the Affordable Care Act and the effects it would have on their business, but we didnt realize the extent they were concerned, or that the businesses were being proactive to make sure the effects of the ACA actually were minimized, said attorney Steven Friedman of Littler Mendelson. His firm, which specializes in employment law, commissioned the Gallup poll.
If the small businesses fears are reasonable, then it could mean that the small business sector grows slower than what economic conditions otherwise would indicate. And small businesses have been a growth engine in the economy, Friedman told CNBC.
Forty-one percent of the businesses surveyed have frozen hiring because of the health-care law known as Obamacare. And almost one-fifth19 percent answered yes when asked if they had reduced the number of employees you have in your business as a specific result of the Affordable Care Act.
