It's a start.

The first lady also was not even asked to wear a head covering of any kind.

But there is still a long way to go

Totally agree.  He doesn't have the discipline to not respond, nor lash out.  His advisors need to reign him in.  He sometimes gives the story legs where it may have just died if he left it alone.  I do like a lot of the people he has around him.  Unlike Obama, he has qualified people from both inside, and outside government.  Obama just surrounded himself with lefty activists, academicians, and politicians.

I doubt you'll see the kind of Economic growth you're looking for a absent technological innovation. That's what fostered the last big boom.

Correct. I don't think anybody here will argue that point. I think the point trying to be made instead was that under Obama the unemployment rate was factoring in only certain elements which made the unemployment rate look lower than it really was.
