As far as economics go, at what point in time do you consider the country to have had the best economy in it's history?

I think you mentioned this earlier as well and I actually agree with you.
However, you may want to pass on the memo to Obama.
I literally laughed out loud when, during the town hall debate, the question came from a kid ready to graduate college. He (loosely summarizing) asked about the outlook for a job when he graduates.
What did Obama talk about? Manufacturing jobs.
What did he talk about during a lot of campaign speeches? Manufacturing jobs.
So, either the future of this country is still manufacturing (which I agree with you that it is not) or we live in a country where we're told whatever we think we want to hear from politicians.
For example (on campaign speeches):
Earlier, at Bowling Green State University, about 25 miles south of Toledo, Obama said he would create 1 million manufacturing jobs in the next four years.
