It's part of the answer to the phony question, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"

The answer for the S&P 500 is yes, the answer for investors who stayed the course is yes, the answer for Nasdaq is an even stronger yes, but the fair question for Romney and Ryan to have asked would have been "Are you better off than you were forty-four months ago?"

It wasn't fair to dump 4 crisis months of Bush onto Obama's record. People know that was a dishonest question.

Yesterday, Rush went on for what seemed like an hour (from the text) on the same false question, about 4 years ago.

Romney and Ryan each showed they can't be trusted to ask a fair question. Or worse, they can't do arithmetic.

It's not about Obama. It's about you.

And it's about the future. The question that counts more for most people is

"Do you have a higher level of expectation that you will be better off in four years from today under
Romney/Ryan or Obama/Biden?"

The Obama strategy team has out-maneuvered Romney on this implied question, and that is why the Obama convention bounce is better than expected.

And, to the extent one weights his choice on the Vice President, who is more prepared to be President 1/21/2013, Ryan or Biden?
