If Obama asks you if you're better off now than you were in 2008 under Bush, what would you tell him?

But then again, it would be much safer to walk away and say nothing, before I ended up on his attack list. People who disagree or critizise him seem to end up being torn to shreds in the media
I never understood why poor people keep breeding.
Talking to white trash is like talking to a wall.
Get a job yah bum.
Still at the same job and making more money then ever.
January 3, 2007 was the day that Democrats took control of both houses of Congress. Let's take a factual look at what they inherited.
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The unemployment rate was 4.6%
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The economy had just set a record of 52 straight months of job creation
26 million Americans were on food stamps
47 banks were on the FDIC problem list
The Social Security program took in the neighborhood of 100 billion more than it paid out
The national debt was approaching 9 trillion dollars
Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee
Obama became a Senator from Illinois
Bush was on record requesting restraint on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae 17 times
Since then, it was Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae that dumped trillions of dollars of toxic assets on taxpayers. It was Obama who got the third highest pay-out from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It was the Democratic Congress that defended them along the way.
So since it was the Democrats that were really driving the car, I think they get the DUI even though they insisted Bush was driving. I think the evidence speaks for itself.
WE ALL KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY!
