History is better in text form.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

LBJ fought all civil rights bills the Republican put up in the late 50'.

As the South became more prosperous it began to vote more Republican.
LBJ saw this trend, that the Dems were going to lose the south eventually.
LBJ flip flopped and moved to give the Republicans the additional Democratic votes need to pass the 1965 bill.
LBJ knew he could lock in the rest of the Black vote ,and he did .Blacks went from 40% to 95% vote to democrats.

The fundamental change was the Dems changing their policy on segregation.

The so called Southern Strategy was happening anyways. It was the Black vote strategy that was the forced event

Economic Confidence in U.S. Hits New High

The key is to find cause and effect. What could be cause for this. What did Obama do to cause this uptick in confidence?

I only see 3 fundamental events in the past two years that could be a cause for this uptick .
1)Supreme court takes the healthcare case
2)Teaparty takes the House
2)Obama complains that Congress is "do nothing" and has stopped all of his policies

These 3 events have gone a long way to boost business's confidence to invest and hire.

Or you could look at other events like the stimulus.

2)Teaparty takes the House

The teaparty takeover of the house actually slowed down GDP growth and employment numbers.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/125735/Economic-Confidence-Index.aspx

Confidence declined steadily from the January highs before Teaparty took over until August 2011.

3)Obama complains that Congress is "do nothing" and has stopped all of his policies

His policies passed in the first two years of office which are ongoing, he didn't need the tea party to stop any of his policies. With the Democratic Senate, teaparty cannot reverse any of his ongoing policies anyway.

The stimulus money basically ran its course by 2010. Once roads are paved not sure how that creates growth 2 years later.

First Obama comes up with the gimmick of jobs saved, now you come up with the gimmick of jobs not created due to the tea party.Very circular non factual argument.

What passed in his first two years that would have caused private job creation in the last two years

You completely made up a history to suit your narrative. All you had to look at the South and North divide when it came to voting for CRA and you would realize that it wasn't about Dems or Repubs but was about IDEALOGY.

From wiki

Southern Democratic Senators: 5% approval
Southern Republican Senators: 0% approval
Southern Democratic Congressmen: 7% approval
Southern Republican Congressmen: 0% approval

Northern Democratic Senators: 98% approval
Northern Republican Senators: 84% approval
Northern Democratic Congressmen: 94% approval
Northern Republican Congressmen: 85% approval

The stimulus reversed the trend, and it wasn't Obama who came up with any 'gimmick', both the CBO and private sector forecasters agree with the notion that stimulus saved jobs.

And private sector job creation has been going on for nearly 30 months now, it's not just a recent pheonmena. The payroll tax cuts is one example where a policy change helped job growth.
