Can you name examples?

That's how I like to vote, based on my quality of life.

Yes, but it's less due to Obama than to my own work ethic and determination. I prefer not to leave my economic fate to politicians.

But wait! I'm a liberal! That's supposed to be impossible!!!

I learned to live within my means long, long ago, so I can't say my quality of life has worsened.

However, my retail business has suffered. People just don't have the money to spend like they did awhile back. I get the feeling without customers actually saying that even if they have a little extra money from one week or month to the next, they are cautious in their purchases because they're fearful of the future.

My business is much worse off than it was 3, 4, 5 years ago.

Yes, gas prices are way up -- making just going to work expensive and it rules out vacation trips for all but the very rich.

Health insurance premiums have skyrocketed. Local taxes have skyrocketed and food prices have skyrocketed.

No. My business has grown 400% since President Obama took office.

Absolutely, much worse!

In the last four years my federal taxes has increased even though I am making less now than I was in 2008. The price of gasoline has more than doubled because of Obama's anti-American anti-energy policy. Clients are more reluctant to hire due to fiscal instability. Worst of all, I have much less liberty since Obama became President.

The sooner we get rid of this Affirmative Action Community Organizer the faster our nation will recover.

No, much better. However, I don't give Obama credit for that.

"Has your quality of life worsened since Obama got in office?"


No change unless you count that I no longer spend time worrying about Wall Street collapsing causing another Great Depression like I did at the end of Bush's term and beginning of Obama's. It was very scary back for us back then.
