So Democrats/Liberals/Communist/Socialist and everything the Democratic Party represents i have a great question for all of you guys.

Are you BETTER off now than you were 4 years ago?
Sound familiar?
Oh and if you didnt take note Reagen beat Jimmy Carter by a landslide.

History is repeating itself. So it will be nice to see how big of a victory Romney has

I am personally, but it has nothing to do with politics.

Yes. One look at my retirement accounts proves it.

If you want a more thorough answer, watch this:

I'm quite better off.
I live in Europe, travel almost every weekend, make over the national average of $63,091.
Median: $46,326.

I am far better off now than four years ago when the country was on the verge of another Great Depression.

^^Same here.

Clinton years: Was struggling with young kids, went to college, began my career.

Bush years: Was getting established in my career. Married my husband in 2008.

Obama years: Had rough patch when husband was injured in a car accident and was out of work for 9 months at the beginning of Obama's term. Since he recovered, he's been promoted several times, I became a lead at work with increased compensation. We're finally comfortable financially.

The presidents had naught to do with any of our ups and downs.

No, I am NOT. Obama killed my business and also the business of a friend of mine. Both of us depended on home improvements. I was in ceramic tile, he was in landscaping.

This administration has been nothing but a disaster.

More people are on food stamps than at any time in our history. 47 Million Americans!
Our debt under Obama has risen by 5 Trillion dollars!!!! In less than 4 years!!!

Obama's record is disgusting!

In addition, look at gasoline prices! Right now, $3.80/gal in my town. Compare that with less than $2/gal when Obama took office.

Who could possibly say they are better off?

Much better off, but like others nothing to do with politics.

We live in same home, have basically same jobs, just the simple math of continuing to plow money into retirement accounts for four more years + continuously rising salaries = much higher net worth.
