Romney camp has SO MUCH of this - pitting obama 2012 against obama 2008.
Well if you are going off that, then the Democrats have plenty of footage of Romney saying one thing one minute and another the next minute, so yeah, Romney ain't looking to hot in the saying what he means category.
It's a poor question to ask because, realistically, 75% of voters are better off than they were 4 years ago. We are - much better off. Those who were hit by the recession were hit hard, but the majority of people in this country are doing fine.
You're way wrong.
Not going bankrupt or having your home foreclosed doesn't mean you're better off. Your talking point isn't working.

So yes, things are better for me now than they were four years ago, now I actually have hope on finding work in my field and that it might actually lead to something good.
Stabled out and no more mass layoffs doesn't mean you're doing better. It just means you're holding your own. For now.
Dems have a very weird concept of 'doing better'. Those 2 words really aren't that hard to understand. Or I didn't think they were.

Stable is called doing better, as is seeing an increase in hiring rather than mass layoffs....unless you are trying to say mass layoffs are better than increased hiring....then I would think your logic is confusing and backwards.
Oh and not going bankrupt or having your house foreclosed is actually the opposite of bad, those are actually two good things to not have happen....so I guess you are wrong, but you live in backwards world, so I guess that makes you right.
voter confidence in the nation's current course resembled levels measured in the final months of the George W. Bush administration,
Thanks for the article jt800, it looks like voter confidence is on par with the final months Bush was in office, so that would put us back up to where we were in 2008.
In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, President Obama stated that Americans are not better off than they were four years ago. He previously said in an interview with Matt Lauer, "if I don't have this done in three years, then this is gonna be a one term proposition."

You guys could play it straight, with plenty of legitimate criticisms to be leveled at this administration. But instead, how strong is your case if you always gotta lie or use distortions and half-truths?
Like for example pretending that Obama walked into a damn picnic, instead of the truth that he inherited a massive economic debacle, that began before he even took office (or doesn't Dubya's $1.5 trillion emergency TARP bill sound familiar)?!
So yeah, what's not to like about a POTUS who averted a second Great Depression (among other things)! Although sorry about the part that he hasn't magically undone 8 years worth of damage and criminal malfeasance quite fast enuff to suit certain folks (who BTW, haven't done squat to help, but plenty to hinder)!

Are You Better Off Than You Were Four Years Ago?
