Are you better off than yada, yada, yada?

A Reply to the Democrats' Reply to Romney  "Democrats Say US Is Better Off Than Four Years Ago ". As I fumed, my wife glanced at it and shrugged:   "Well, better off for them!"

The significance of the 'Are you better off...' question "Voters who are unhappy are not likely to vote for the president. The question forces the voter to put aside personal feelings about Obama -- most find him likable -- and view the choice for president in a more rational light. This is good for Romney and bad for Obama when you almost entirely remove the likability quotient and make the election about something more personal to the voter -- his feelings of well being."

Maryland governor flip-flops on ‘better off’ question … in 24 hours
"One day later — and presumably, one Cory Booker-esque call from Team Obama — suddenly the world looks a lot rosier to Governor O’Malley." Via Neal Boortz

Voice of Lillpop; Four years ago, America was lured into a dangerous experiment with Marxism by Barack Obama and fellow liberals...  "Back then, it was all about style and feel-good politics, proliferated by a brutally-biased media with a despicable “Man Crush” on an unproven, non-vetted, unaccomplished community organizer with a distinct dislike for American values and traditions. "

Alan Caruba; You Know You're a Moron If...  "The sad part of this is that people who will vote for Obama still believe what he says. To them I say, you know you’re a moron if…."
...."Voters for Obama will ignore the fact that Obama is “transforming” America into the equivalent of Greece and taking the nation over a fiscal cliff. "

Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland: We’re Not Better Off Now  (Notice the brief answer followed by a quick change of subject) "Responded O’Malley: “No, but that's not the question of this election. The question, without a doubt, we are not as well off as we were before George Bush brought us the Bush job losses, the Bush recession, the Bush deficits, the series of desert wars -- charged for the first time to credit cards, the national credit card.”
"Quipped Schieffer: “George Bush is not on the ballots.”"  
"We've heard Obama say it all before, as the GOP ad so clearly reveals. Only a fool would buy Obama's snake oil again, fools and union minions, I suppose.
"Are you better off today, in 2012, than you were in 2008?
"I'm not, not even close. Hell, I'd be happy if I were the same. But I'm worse off, by a lot.
" I'll be voting for change in 2012."
