Not quite accurate - median income (when adjusted for inflation) was doing better late in the Clinton years and during the GWB years.

I don't pin it all on Obama - however, life got significantly worse for many working families in 2013-2014 with the disastrous implementation of ACA and the change in the payroll tax. By that point it was crystal clear that Barack Obama didn't give a flip about working class Americans (you know, the ones he claimed would cling to their bibles and their guns).
