If we were better off then you would like that question, but since we aren't you hate that question because it shines light on 0bama's record.

2. I'm much better off than I was four years ago.

I've gotten several raises since then, went from being part-time to full-time and my 401k has grown significantly. Most people I know and work with are much better off now than they were in 2008.

Isn't that special? What I see with my own eyes is, people struggling to make ends meet, gas prices are up, food prices are up, health care costs are up, then some clown on the tee vee dares say how wonderful things are.

Those are just the tings that we can see, the bad part is coming up, if we keep going like we are now Greece is our future.

9. And its an assine question!!

4 years ago I was literally scared to death about what was ahead. We were on a cliff.
Stocks are back, Jobs are coming back, we are doing much better than Europe...
Only a true uninformed idiot would not admit we are better off then we were then.

 It pisses me off they think were so fuggin stupid!!

Actually only an uninformed idiot would look around and tell us how great things are.

These are the same people that in 2006 declared we were in a depression aren`t they?

[Skul]

I was reading over that thread a bit ago, before getting sidetracked by Cali's stadium rant.
They sure did get into throwing rocks and bricks at pMSNBC.
Now I have to go back and see what's new.


edit:
Pretty quiet.
Did drag this back for a laugh.

8. What the hell do

expect from M$NBC,their owned by GE-Comcast-Bain. Comcast is controlled by Anshutz whom owns a big chunk of the Washington Times and most of U.P.railroad among other things. This is just only of the 1% er toys.

There's an Underground Panther railroad?....good, lets extend it into Canada.

Facts, they are a biatch:

Under 0bama household net worth is down $60k (-45%)
Under 0bama household net income is down $4100/year (-9%).
Under 0bama household expenses (food, gas, energy, health care costs) are up 75%.
Under 0bama household federal deficit is up 65%.
Under 0bama poverty is at an all time high.
Under 0bama food stamp usage is at an all time high.
Under 0bama SSDI usage is at an all time high.
Under 0bama welfare usage is at an all time high.

It is surprising that the least experienced, most far left president in our history would produce results such as those.

He kept his promise to fundamentally change America....he just never said it was going to be for the better.

I make more money than I made four years ago but I wouldn't say that I'm better off considering the cost of living these days.  But that's beside the point, the world doesn't revolve around me.  Things are tough all over and like Clint Eastwood said:

I was even crying.  And then finally -- and I haven't cried that hard since I found out that there is 23 million
unemployed people in this country.  Now that is something to cry for because that is a
disgrace, a national disgrace, and we haven't done enough, obviously -- this
administration hasn't done enough to cure that.  Whenever interest
they have is not strong enough, and I think possibly now it may be
time for somebody else to come along and solve the problem.

And as Clint summed it up perfectly near the end of his speech:

And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go.

Right Clint, we got to let them go (Delmar repeats while making throat slitting motion).

[Texacon]

I most definitely NOT better off. I have about 50% of the sales I did and it's not getting better. In 2010 I did about 25% of my normal sales. The rest has been pretty stagnant.

I am better off, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Barack Obama.  Every day he stays in office costs me more money because his policies keep driving prices for everything I buy up higher and higher.

[Kyle Ricky]

Things are worse now than they were with Bush, and with Bush we were in a great depression. Now that obama is in the White House, we are prospering. Go figure? I can guarantee that within the first month of Romney's Presidency, we will be hearing about being in a depression and how Romney isn't creating any jobs.

I tell you, if obama was given a bad hand. Romney is being given a worse hand. Wow...

It's my fault. I wrote the MSNBC president an email, and when he gets a message from Da Mannn, he listens.
Last time I did this Olberman was fired. This time I was furious with the coverage of the GOP convention.

The CEO flew over to my house and begged forgiveness. after groveling, I told him to shift the network towards conservatives and he agreed. Maddow is history, they are just looking for an excuse to be rid of her. I suggested a tryst with Napalitano linked with a white house leak.

The media moguls jump when I call, cause they really hate it when expose one of their lies like i did with Dan Rather. Weiner crossed me too, and look what happened to him. I'm the one that got Taverner's wife to leave him. I put Bobo in the mental ward. and Underground Panther is going to be moved before she can vote...because of ME!

Suck on that, DU!

They tried that with Reagan about March 1981 but Reagan went on TV and said; "yes, my plan is not working, BECAUSE IT GOES INTO EFFECT ON OCTOBER FIRST the begining of the U.S. government's fiscal year".   

God I love Reagan.

I tell you, if obama was given a bad hand.....

Courtesy Harry and Bela, from January 3, 2007 until January 20, 2009, as the economy nose-dived.

Remember, "bad times" under George Bush never started happening until then; up until then, things were pretty damned good.

Romney is being given a worse hand. Wow...

Oh my yes; a much deeper hole.

One associates "billions" with George Bush, "trillions" with Barack Milhous.

A billion seconds ago, it was sometime in 1977. 

A trillion seconds ago, it was sometime in 29,078 B.C.

I handle the financial affairs of my elderly parents, and if Obama thinks they are going to forget that fuel and food were eliminated from the CPI index, resulting in no COLA payments for 2 years, they are off their rocker. Don't piss on their leg and tell them it's raining.

It's not just the elderly that are hurt by the way the CPI is computed.  Many companies use the CPI when bargaining with unions on new contracts.

[obumazombie]

Let's not overlook the devastating impact owebuma's policies have had on real wages.

[NHSparky]

Any raises I may have received have been more than offset by higher fuel costs, higher grocery costs, higher medical/dental premiums, higher everything except the number of bills in my wallet.

A toxic threesome, that can't be denied.  Even though they have countless threads over there about the "are you better off" question, with DUmmies chiming in, lying, "I'm making huge amounts of cold hard cash hand over fist !!!!"   In real life, people are in a world of hurt.

Don't forget that interest rates next to zero and the elderly rely on CDs and bonds for their income.

I have no fear that as soon as President Romney is sworn in we will start hearing about how terrible the economy is and how it is hurting the elderly, minorities, poor, and women the hardest.

Can Romney blame it on owebuma for 4 years straight ?

That is very true. In Jan '09 I had their money in online savings earning 5%. It is now down to 0.7%.  Not a suitable replacement to be found.

Have you noticed that up until last week, the United States was a poor nation, wallowing in debt because of Republican obstructionism, but now that the "are you better off" question has finally been picked up on, everybody is doing just fine, and it is all thanks to Obama ?
