Overall, according to the U.S. Treasury, the federal debt increased by $3,646,116,554,704.36 between Jan. 20, 2009, when Obama was inaugurated, and April 13, 2011, when he gave a major speech announcing a plan to deal with the debt.

Average gas price when Barry took office in the US was 1.79, now it's above $4 where I live.


No opinions here, just facts
Yes, it's obvious we are better off currently -- although I don't have high confidence it will be maintained.

Fact:

2 years ago we were on the verge of a total collapse of the world's credit markets, the world equities markets were crashing and the prospects for a deflationary spiral and depression were very high.

If you think the "facts" you list are worse than that, you either have not put much thought into it or you are just being partisan.
