    We ARE better off than 4 years ago!

    Romney raised the issue in his speech if we are better off than when Obama took office. Are you kidding me? Of course we are!

    When Obama took office America was lying in the street dying from a near fatal wound from the last Republican president. The banking system collapsed. We were losing 750,000 jobs a month. Housing collapsed. Construction stopped. The auto industry was in a death spiral. America was in a state of complete panic. Our nation was dying under Bush.

    Granted it would be nice if things were better but we're still here. If we had elected yet another Republican president there wouldn't be an America today, except for plutocrats.

    I don't think Romney thought that question through, because if we remember how things were the day Obama took office there's no way we're going back there again. Why would Romney bring that up?

          The Republican and Democratic Parties are actually one and the same big party. They pretend they hate each other, but behind the curtain they are all friends.

              Economy is not in so bad a shape for Obama not to get reelected.

                      Ok Ed, I'll bite. Please name 3 freedoms you had 4 years ago that you don't have now.
                      Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.

                          You are in better shape than you were 3 years ago, which is when the crisis bottomed out. When Obama took office, the economy was burning to the ground, and so was the rest of the world economy. We weren't alone in our pain then, and we won't be alone in our pain into the future.

                          I think if you took that question and applied it to almost any country, the answer would be the same. Seriously, what country anywhere, is thriving right now? UK + Europe are in full blown recession. China is slowing. And yes it matters. Our companies sell around the world and we live in an interconnected economy. If Greece bails, and the Euro collapses, a lot of the banks inside the US that loaned money over there are going to face some real nasty write downs, and there is *nothing* Obama or Romney can do about it, and that is easily the biggest threat to the world economy.

                          It's unfortunate that this issue isn't so even raised or talked about by any politician, because of the "message" they need to send out to win an election, and the stupidity of the majority of the country.

                          It is for this reason, and this reason only that the largest and smartest investors are PILING into GOLD. They don't give a fuck who wins the election. And these are the same guys that made a killing off of the housing collapse. The exposure of everything that happened in 2008 never left the eco-system. With all the politicking going around, it simply transferred to the world governments, who created policies to deal with the down turn, like printing unlimited amounts of money to create the confidence from fall out. This is only going to lead to a new crisis around a new and different set of parameters, like inflation, once things do turn a corner.

                          The future isn't pretty, and it won't matter who is in charge. But that same man will be appointing Supreme Court justices and making all sorts of other social decisions that do matter.

                              good points biggy2

                              what most people don't realize is how interconnected the world economy is.

                              the combined european GDP is about $14 Trillion, about 1/3 the total world gdp. The US GDP is about $12 Trillion, another 1/3 of world gdp. when one slows down, it has a negative effect that ripples across the globe. when they slow down in unison (including china as you mention), it's an unavoidable downward trend that is far above the silly democrat v. republican bullshit.

                              but good luck explaining that to low-information people who have no concept of global economics

                              ps. greece isn't going to be kicked out of the euro zone, and while the Euro is probably headed back to 1-1 with the dollar, they'll be ok long term. they're going to do what we ended up doing - fire up the printing press and stimulate themselves out of disaster.

                                  This administration passed a law which allows the indefinite detention of American citizens without trial (and they're already using it on veterans speaking out against the government). This is really all I need to know that we're not "better off."

                                  Any time we lose our basic constitutional rights it's definitely not better, it's worse.

                                              but we've been holding US citizens without trial since before this year, haven't we? I'm almost certain of that, but please correct me if i'm wrong.

                                                  In May 2012 federal court issued an order blocking the indefinite detention powers of the NDAA for American citizens (section 1021) on the grounds of unconstitutionality.[20] On August 6, 2012 federal prosecutors representing President Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta filed a notice of appeal with the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals hoping to eliminate the ban.[21][22] The following day, arguments from both sides were heard by Judge Forrest during a hearing to make her injunction permanent.[23]

                                                  oddly enough, if it comes to light that american interests are indeed using these groups as proxys, and it's definitely looking that way in light of lybia and syria, this allows legal jusitification for civil war

                                                  scary huh?

                                                  something similiar went through in canada about "citizen arrests"

                                                  so, in an extremely abstract way, we are allowed to arrest police officers

                                                              it said hte bill was passed in december 2011

                                                              i am almost 100% positive that the number 2 of al qaida was killed by missile before that, and with him his son who was an american citizen

                                                              so, to answer your question as best i can, your country has been killing your citizens without trial or legitimate justification several months before this bill was passed

This is really all I need to know that we're not "better off."

When Hitler was starting wars, America voted that we mind our business 2x's and we did, the third time America voted to go to war, and we did... America did not want the health care system changed, Obama did not care and pushed it through... He is doing what he wants, not what the American people want. and everyone is ok with this?

                                                                                                                      1) How much debt has been added in the past four years?

                                                                                                                      2) How many American soldiers have died in the past four years?

                                                                                                                      3) How are basic human rights, such as in Gitmo or elsewhere, over the past 4 years?

                                                                                                                      4) How many innocent civilians abroad have been killed by the US military in the past 4 years?

                                                                                                                      5) Are there more or less jobs than 4 years ago?

                                                                                                                      6) Are there more or less foreclosed homes than 4 years ago?

                                                                                                                              1) How much debt has been added in the past four years?

                                                                                                                              2) How many American soldiers have died in the past four years?

                                                                                                                              3) How are basic human rights, such as in Gitmo or elsewhere, over the past 4 years?

                                                                                                                              4) How many innocent civilians abroad have been killed by the US military in the past 4 years?

                                                                                                                              5) Are there more or less jobs than 4 years ago?

                                                                                                                              7) Is the mental state (hope, happiness, general well being) of Americans better or worse than 4 years ago?

Yes we have more jobs. The real estate market is stable. We have more debt but is it going faster then the last guy?
                                                                                                                              I think the more interesting factor is do you think Obama had fuck all to do with the economy getting better? Will Romney? I think it is a cycle and they can maybe push it a bit but I doubt they can stop it.

Your parents should've put their money in an offshore tax haven and invested in Halliburton stock after 9/11. But look on the bright side, you can always get a janitorial job for 1/30 the wages of a union member.

When Hitler was starting wars, America voted that we mind our business 2x's and we did, the third time America voted to go to war, and we did... America did not want the health care system changed, Obama did not care and pushed it through... He is doing what he wants, not what the American people want. and everyone is ok with this?

This is really all I need to know that we're not "better off."

When Hitler was starting wars, America voted that we mind our business 2x's and we did, the third time America voted to go to war, and we did... America did not want the health care system changed, Obama did not care and pushed it through... He is doing what he wants, not what the American people want. and everyone is ok with this?

Only 31 percent of voters believe the nation is in ?better condition,? while 15 percent say it is ?about the same,? the poll found. Just 40 percent of voters said Obama deserves reelection.
