If you believe the Romney hype, we are all worse off than before. Of course, Romney seems to be doing well financially. Did not seem to hurt him much.

I myself am doing better financially. SO who is doing worse, and if so how is that Obama's fault?

Salary wise? The wife and I are doing better. Significantly better. Our house is the only thing weighing us down - we bought at nearly the height of the market here in Charlotte, NC.

Let me guess - government employee? Public sector union member? Those are the only people, thanks to Obama's unfair coddling of those groups, that seem to be doing better.

These are the facts:
Median net worth declined from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010
Median incomes fell from $49,600 in 2007 to $45,800 in 2010, a drop of 7.7 percent
45 million people in 2011 received food stamps, a 70% increase from 2007

Yup, EVERYONE'S doing so much better.

I'm doing better. My house value is increasing, my 401K is doing great. My company stock is way up. My president has started no wars and has scaled back the wars started by the previous idiot. Crime is down-life is good.

Making more money than I ever have in my life, but I think that's rare. Most households are worse off.

Better off.

But that's only because I busted my ass and got 2 promotions in the last 2 years which is tripling my gross income.

No he hasn't scaled back wars. He pulled back in Iraq, but added it right back, in terms of military strikes and/or soldiers in Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, and now he's threatening to go to war for Israel's interests in Iran.

Just bought a condo off Queens Rd in May.

Looking to rent it for the DNC at around $800-$1200/night!

I will totally give Obama credit for that
