There are 23 million people unemployed or underemployed today. There are less jobs today than there were prior to the last recession. Labor force participation for men is the lowest since they began measuring in 1948. Are you better off today than you were four years ago? That is a very real question to the 23 million who are unemployed/underemployed and that number does not include those that have GIVEN UP completely thanks to the Obama recession. Obama's War on our Economy was a success. He totally crushed it.

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?" This strikes me as playing both ends against the middle. While the fundamental premise of the Obama candidacy is an anti-Wall Street, "wealth inequality" argument, we're now going to use as a metric for his performance how much richer the "1 percent" of Wall Street are getting? Seems to me you can't have it both ways.

It's not about Obama. It's about you. Sorry you are wrong again, this time twice. 1. You wrote, it is about you. It is not about me and never was. It is about my children, my grandchildren and beautiful baby girl that is my great grandchild. 2. You also wrote, it's not about Obama. That is all wrong. It is all about Obama. After all all he is the leader. Just how much debt are you willing to allow him to pile on those kids' backs? Obama program has been to spend tomorrow's income today. Pretty (I know you like that word) soon there will be nothing left for tomorrow. From a piece of mail I received today - "He promised to change the tone in Washington. Unfortunately he's spent more time assigning blame to others than he has trying to fix the problems." "We need someone who's accountable in office, not someone who is always looking to shift blame and avoid responsibility." "America Can Do Better Than This."
