New Obama Ad: Yes, We are Better Off Than We Were 4 Years Ago

Sep. 15, 2012 1:33pm Madeleine Morgenstern

President Barack Obama’s latest ad seeks to answer the “are you better off?” question that Mitt Romney’s campaign has been pushing.

The Obama campaign’s answer: Yes, we are better off than we were four years ago.

“Here’s where we were in 2008,” the one-minute spot “The Question” states. “Worst financial collapse since the great depression…American workers were laid off in numbers not seen in over three decades.”

“Here’s where we are today,” it continues. “Thirty months of private sector job growth, creating 4.6 million new jobs.”

Set to air in the battleground states of Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia, the ad admits: “We’re not there yet, but the real question is whose plan is better for you? The president’s plan asks millionaires to pay a little more to help invest in a strong middle class, clean energy, and cut the deficit.”

The Romney campaign put out a statement in response, saying: “23 million Americans are struggling for work, our national debt has hit a record-breaking $16 trillion, and more Americans are in poverty and on food stamps than ever before.”

We are much worse off than we were 4 years ago and if Obama is re-elected we will be so much worse off than we are now and we will long for these “bad old” days.

  Every 4 years we are worse off than the previous. It is a trend that has been going on since the 90′s. Massive government debt will drag this whole thing down

  Even if we accept his lie about “creating” 4.6 Million new jobs (which has been disproven by every credible news sourse), dude you spent more than 1 Trillion dollars in stimulus proposals to create 4.6 million jobs! That is a failed policy. For the same amount of money he could have given all 23 million unemployed American’s $50K to do community service projects like pick up trash and paint parks and such.

  Yet another obvious lie! How Obama still has more than 40% support is beyond me.
  
  By his own standard he has spent in an “irresponsible” and “unpatriotic” manner.
  
  National debt, QE3, and now another downgrade by Moody’s. Yep, we are top notch!

  If WE all stand together Obama will not get re-elected. Furthermore, the dems keep going on & on about the stupid movie being the reason for the middle east war on americans – instead of taking at look at the real problem – OBAMA – he know nothing about international policies and can NOT keep us safe!!!! Plus the dems went on & on about Osama during their convention – I think that is why the middle east is angry – because of the dems “fanning the flames with Osama”. Even Kerry said “ask Osama if he is better off today” – good grief Obama pissed the Seals of and then wonders “what is going on?” Obama is the biggest “divider” I have ever seen. Sure we are happy to have Osama eating with the fishes but does Obama have to keep on saying how GREAT he is because “he” killed Osama? And the middle east is using that film as an excuse – they had already planned to attack Americans and Obama KNEW it and did NOTHING!!! I think we should send Obama to the middle east and let him rule there – see how long he lasts!!!

  We are utterly sacrificing the future for the present to the tune of $16 trillion plus whatever damage all the quantitative easing is doing to the value of the dollar, and all we have to show for it is a brewery slow recovery. It will only get worse. That’s not assumption, that’s math. That debt will eventually need to be paid, one way or another, and any liberal with even the smallest brain knows that deep down. The only way they can feel at ease is to tell themselves it’s the Republicans’ fault, ignoring that Democrats had supermajoroties in the legislative branch for half of Obama’s time and still have the Senate.

  The underemployment is much worse than the 8% they keep giving us. The job participation rate is smaller than has been for the last 30 years. If only 1000 people are left in the workforce and only 10 are unemployed, the government would tell us that we have only 1% unemployment. Forget the millions struggling. It looks better if we don’t count them.
  
  Only one person I know is better off than he was 4 years ago and that’s because he was unemployed. Everyone else I know is making the same pay or less and EVERYONE is paying more to make ends meet.
  
  Obama is full of $#it. He and the Liberal media are incapable of speaking the truth because they know that he would lose the election. These people are supposed to be looking to help us are caught up in their ignorant elitist BS and they aren’t struggling, so they don’t care. They just want to be invited to their bourgeois parties. They fear truth because they fear losing their jobs and being ostracized by their “friends.”

  Uhhhh, I think he REALLY meant that HE, not we, is better off. 95,364 home were foreclosed on last july… That’s nearly 100,000 people who lost their homes in ONE MONTH! MILLIONS of people lost their homes to foreclosure under the this Marxist regime. MILLIONS of jobs have been lost in 3 years. This jack ass marxist thinks Americans are stupid enough to believe whatever he says, no matter how ridiculous it is. That may have been the case 4 years ago but here’s the deal. Liberals are liberal so long as THEIR world doesn’t change for the worse. As soon as liberals are personally affected and have to pay the bill… Well, there’s a game changer right their folks! So many independents and liberals have lost EVERYTHING under El Duc’e reign. All those degreed college students that worked so hard to get him elected are now living with their parents and working at fast food joints.
  All those Church going Black Americans got stabbed in the back when El Duce backed all the homosexuals. Obama has screwed over every sector of American society that millions have become disillusioned with BO and no see him for the Marxist he really is. Oh, and let’s not forget that while millions of people lost their home and jobs, Obama was golfing every single weekend and his wife was spending tens of millions of tax payer money vacationing around the world using Air Force one at the cost of $181,000.00 per hour. Obama racked up 172 days on AF1 in 2010 alone!!!

  It is SOOOO silly for Obama and his minions to come out with an ad or press releases or statements or Sunday morning TV pundit shows or campaign trail rhetoric that tries to tell the US that we are better off now than we were 4 years ago. It makes no difference how they try to spin this or “convince” the voters because the real answer is how each voter answers the question, not Obama. It is irrelevant how hard they try to convince us that we’re better off—there are millions of people without jobs that will definitely say “No, I’m not!” as well as business owners and others hurt by this catastrophic economy. Go ahead, president, try to tell me that I’m better off. My answer, and my answer at the ballot box, is the only answer that counts.

  The stimulus package saved us from depression and jump started the economy. The package consisted of one-third tax cuts, one-third employment benefits and remaining was jobs package. According to CBO it saved millions of jobs. As the Ad mentioned accurately we have created 4.5 million jobs after the stimulus was passed. Even Fox & Friends had to back track and agree on it this week.
  
  Polls are reflecting this and Obama is going to be re-elected. On the bright side, you get another four more year to kick him around.

  If the MOST important thing is to make technically correct statements, that line is true.
  
  But, here in reality, America is much worse off. If so many jobs were added, then why is the job participation percentage decreasing? Value of homes are down. Pay is down. Insurance costs more than ever. New taxes are ready to pounce on, gasp, the middle class 1/13. QE3 is printing money, thus Moody’s decreased the USA from AA to AA-. At least unfunded liabilities are decreasing… Nope! Stronger allies in the middle east? Apparently not.
  
  Obama is great at word games and presentation. He remains a bad president. His policies are driving us towards tyranny. Way too much power in the hands of the feds, not nearly enough in the hands of the people. His lies have succeeded politically, but we are failing economically, morally, and spiritually. Vote for a government closer to tyranny if you want, I prefer liberty.

  Obumbler is all way’s complaining about the middle Class getting to bad end of the economic system.
  What could be more damning for the middle class than $2.00 more a gallon for gasoline.
  the very people that he claim he want to protect are the one’s that are being savaged by high fuel
  cost. We set on a treasurer chest of natural asset that he continues to block.
  this is nothing more than a tax on all working class people,that need to drive to work.
  It also drive the cost food and service threw the roof.
  Does Bill Gates really care if a tank full of gasoline( 20 gal) four years ago cost $37.00
  and now the same 20 gal Cost $81.00. I think not. But if you are a Carpenter driving a truck to work you are going broke.
  Obumbler is to egotistical or Stupid to understand the fundamentals of a Capitalist system.

  After a financial crisis like the one we had during in 1929, recovery takes a long time. Non-liquid asset investment tend to shrink. Banks retrench, consumers hold off, business are risk averse, …. It really does not matter who the President was the business cycle would taken its course. Do you think if McCain was President then home prices would have gone up?
  
  There is general consensus that the recovery will pick up pace in 2nd quarter of 2013 regardless of who is the President. Also, Muslims in the middle-east hate us whoever is the President. If you think not then please read some history books.
  
  BTW Health Care premiums have been going up every year by 10%+ form 1999-2008 Last couple of years it has slowed down to 5%+. Yes the middle class is getting squeezed but this has been the case for past 30 years. Many of the mid-level good paying jobs are being outsourced. Think again, you seem to have progressive thoughts.

  Obama is a democrat, which means lying is fine if it helps meet your goals. Honesty? Integrity? Today’s democrats scoff at those Republican values. Socialism has never been the answer to prosperity, but it’s most attractive to those who want something for nothing or for the democrat who will lie, cheat and steal to remain in office. I think most thinking Americans know this, viscerally, and I expect they will come out on election day to put Obama out of work by a landslide.

While we are doing this China and countrys like them are polluting mother earth. Farmers here in Oklahoma are signing up for the CRP program – to get paid not to farm. My sons did and also signed up for a new program under the Dept. of agriculture to bulldoze trees for pasture land. My sons leased their pastures for grazing to a neighbor (after selling all their cows) for $12,000 and leased the hunting to 4 lawyers for $ 10,000. This will be the first time to make a profit in 3 years.

I would love to know how much is Obama’s secret accounts probably listed under his daughters names. Meanwhile the folks in Congress are still getting richer off what they know that will effect the stock market.

As for the rest of us, not so much.

I found out why Barack O’Carter has been spending so much time in Hollywood. He’s auditioning for “Clueless, the Sequel”.

This week our embassies were attacked and our nations credit rating down graded. Our debt has soared to over $16 trillion, gas prices are more than double and unemployment remains high. He insulted our friend Israel and apologized to those that attack us. In January taxes will soar and the military will be gutted. I was worried about the next four years if Obama was re-elected. Now I worried about just making it through the next 4 months.

Better off than 4 years ago? Of course he and his cronies are. Where do you think all that stimulus and Solyndra money went.

This progressive talking point is not true and is easy to prove that it’s not. There was 0% job growth in Aug 2011. And here’s a link to a Liberal newspaper that confirms it.

  I’m trying to get The Blaze to do a story on this.

Dear Mr Obama:

Every one has a right to their opinion. I choose to disagree with you. I am a widow, living on a fixed income.Gas is $4.00 a gallon, food is twice as much as it was a year ago, I buy my clothes at the Salvation Army, etc. and my social security can only streach so far…………………..perhaps Micheal would like to help the “Middle Class” by donating all her $5,000 shirts to us poor folks.

I always considered myself middle class but since you took office, I can not say that anymore. You tell the American people that Romney is out of touch with the middle class……..I disagree……..you and your wife are the ones who are out of touch with the average, normal, working class people who are just trying to “get by”!! It is very difficult trying to pay for our own food, housing, health care etc. and also paying for all your friends who think we “owe” them!!

Before you took office, the American dream was to work hard, stand on your own two feet and treat people with respect. Now you are telling the American people that being sucessful is wrong…we should let the goverment “handle” our lives. Sir, if the goverment can’t balance a budget, why would I trust it to handle my life.

I am seventy two years old, and have seen a lot in my life and you sir, are not a man who has my best interest. You are a disgrace to the leadership the American people have instealed on you.

So I dear Mr Obama, please do not speak for me…….I will do that

  Bobby12 – I feel your pain. I am a small business owner whose husband is disabled and unable to work so I am the sole income earner. This economy is terrible. Yes, things were slowing down in Fall 08 but it was then a monetary issue. Now it’s a stall. Trust me, this feels worse, much worse. So no, Mr. President we are not even close to anywhere near better than 4 years ago. Tell that to the millions who have lost their jobs or their homes. I tend to think they too would disagree.

  Fantastic reply bobby12. My husband and I are in the same boat. My sister could only find a part time job. Her husband lost his job, and they no longer have a savings account. Sometime the wolf is almost coming through the door and I breathe a sigh of release at the end of every month. I haven’t been able to buy any clothes for almost four years groceries are as cheap as I can get them, I wonder if he gets in for four more years we will all be living in boxes.

  You people can disagree with “our”presidents policies that’s your right. but if you forgot the 8 years of bush that lead to the collapse of our economy your being disingenuous and untruthful. The stock market has never been higher, and 401ks are making a rebound from where they were 4 years ago. The debt that everyone its worried about has gone up because of 2 wars, prescription drug reform, and uncontrollable spending all done during bush. ALL voted for by Paul Ryan. so go ahead and call Obama a socialist. The fact is his policies are closer to Reagan than both bushes ever were.

  The Dow Jones highest point ever was during the Bush years 14,164 as of right now it’s at 13,593 so you’re wrong there. But you’re a sherriff and a democrat so you’re probably extremely stupid. The debt didn’t raise by 5 trillion because of prescription pills. 20% of that was done in a single bill the Stimulus Package that didn’t work Obama even admitted laughingly that “shovel ready jobs weren’t so shovel ready.” Obama continued the war in Afganistan. Obama used military dollars to fight in Libya. Obama’s continued to use drones. So what, his military spending doesn’t add to the deficit? You need to do some research before you come babbling your nonsense. Go eat another donut.

  I feel your pain, Bobby. I’m a college-educated 40-something who cannot find a job. I’m at my 80-year old father’s house using his computer this weekend because I can’t afford one with the temporary jobs I’ve been able to find here or there. My husband didn’t join me this weekend because he has to put in as much overtime as he can at this job because his next paycheck won’t even be enough to cover next month’s rent. The government decided it had not received payments for treatment that my husband received at some VA Hospital’s so it swooped in without notice or proof and is now taking more than $400 a month from his paycheck. It’s useless to try to defend yourself against this government because there’s always another number to which they can transfer you. They do this until nearly all our minutes on our month-to-month phone service is depleted. I never thought this would be my life. Just wait.. Obamacare’s coming. You’ll all get to play this game. And there will be nothing you can do about it because nobody will care. Protocol’s are rigid and an easy way out, “I’m sorry, ma’am… there’s nothing I can do for you. My hands are tied by miles of protocol and red tape…”

  During the majority of Bush’s rule, unemployment was a staggering 4.5%, when he left office it was 7%. Would it not be nice if it was only 7 % instead of 8+%? Almost 50% of Americans are now on food stamps…..The policies that Bush implemented that led to the crash were created and pushed by Democrats who ruled the house. Take that an smoke it liberal trash.

  To all you unemployed: truck drivers are in high demand. Truck driving jobs are everywhere in the country and pay between $30,000 and $50,000 a year and sometimes more. Many also come with good benefits. Often times the training is free or you get reimbursed for it. You can often go from unemployed through training and be employed in around six weeks. Check into it. Sometimes you have to adapt to the adversity and not worry about who the president is.

I hope that enough Americans have come out of their media induced obamacoma to boot his worthless behind out of office. Can anyone imagine a person still being an “undecided” voter???

Does someone want to point me in the direction of these so called jobs? I keep hearing that they’re there somewhere from the left, but here I am unemployed for the past year without even as much as an interview. I recent months, I’ve been told that “the economy is too bad” and that “in this economy, I’m barely able to pay my rent, let alone hire someone.

So, Barack Obama is trying to tell me that I’m better off now than I was four years ago? What a load of bull. Apparently my county’s unemployment rate jumping up to fifteen percent is better than four years ago when it was only about eight. Yup, certainly better off.

  Quite honestly, I think it has more to do with where you live and what your profession is than what Pres. Obama has or has not done. Remember, he didn’t cause the Recession – that had already happened before he took office.
  
  In the case of my spouse’s profession, there has been a huge boom in the last couple of years. For example, in 2008 my spouse’s mid-sized company had to lay off approx. 35 employees. When the stimulus money brought in projects to our area, his company was able to hire about 28 of those employees back, with no other layoffs since then. Just this year, his company has hired at least 50 new employees for new positions (not to fill vacant ones) and my spouse is constantly interviewing new graduates for entry level positions within the company.
  
  In 2008 the company decided be financially savy and not give out raises and only small bonuses due to the economy. It was difficult and many people grumbled about it. But this year, the company has seen their biggest profits yet, and it is a 30-year-old firm. They were also able to give out substantial bonuses.
  
  So, Pres. Obama is correct – many in this country are seeing a lot of relief and are better off than fours years ago. Unfortunately, this hasn’t happened everywhere and with every profession yet, and the fixes are never entirely dependent on what a President does or doesn’t do. There are many factors involved and Pres. Obama is not entirely to blame. I truly doubt McCain could have done

  So Sorry,
  
  Problem is, your spouses company got stimulus money…so, you see, the government got to decide that your spouses company succeeded. The government is deciding which businesses fail and which ones succeed based on who they decide to give our tax dollars to. I’m curious to know what company you speak of…because other companies that have received stimulus money have still become utter failures. I get the sense you’re trying to hide something that if disclosed, would debunk your whole argument…does your spouse work for a Union? Because we all know the Union members have done well…it’s the investors and the employees who aren’t unionized that got the shaft. Is your spouse a part of GM or the auto industry? Do you see my concern? Given the fact that most people are not better off, your argument, like those of the left, is either strategically leaving some facts out to make your point, or you’re outright lying.

  @Belwraith
  
  I am being entirely honest here. No, my spouse does not work for a Union and is not a member of any union. It is in the private consulting firm, and NO – they did not receive any direct stimulus money! But, the stimulus provided for projects that used a cross section of professions to complete these projects and they were hired by firms that did receive direct money. This is how the stimulus helped to improve the economy. STIMULUS was a God-send for many many businesses. Just because one area of the Country or one profession isn’t doing well yet, doesn‘t mean others aren’t. So, don‘t insinuate that I’m a liar just because I live in an area of the Country that is seeing a lot of progress.
  
  Despite what you all WANT to believe, the Country is doing better. Just about everyone I know is. Those that haven’t found jobs again after being laid off happen to work in professions where it is typically difficult to find positions, even in a good economy. That said, I know there are still many suffering out there because certain professions haven’t picked up. That isn’t entirely Pres. Obama’s fault and I KNOW that you all know this – you’re just unwilling to admit to yourselves and others on this site.
  
  Stop blaming Pres. Obama for all of our Countries woes. Economies this bad don’t get fixed over night, nor are they fixed by one person. I personally blame the Conservative leaders for blocking any “work” initiatives that Pres. Obama wanted

Mitt Romney’s strategy from the beginning was to assume the economy would be bad enough for Obama to lose by default. However, it appears people are not willing to support Romney just because he isnt Obama. Romney will have to start providing specifics instead of just plain puffery.

I say this based on Romney’s ads and interviews here in Virginia. If you get your information from only Theblaze.com you are not getting the whole picture

  Yeah, But Barry created 4.6 Billion New Jobs, or was it Trillion? That’s why the unemployment rate is .0083 %. And our deficit is actually a Surplus of 88 Trillion Dollars. And everyone is off of foodstamps. And no one is receiving Disability. And our Libyan ambassador is actually hanging with Elvis and Michael Jackson. And our credit rating is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++.

  I am frustratingly amused by those that claim Romney should be specific when Obama has been in office for four years and we still don’t know his “details” nor has the press done their job to find out.
  
  In lieu of a plan or details from Obama, we must judge him by his performance which has been abysmal. The economy is on the brink and all he does is blame Bush and implement job killing dictates. Now the Middle East is on fire and Iran is about to blow Israel off the face of the earth. Obama has just kicked the issues down the road until he can get re-elected and throw away our nuclear deterent to the Russians. His response to the crises was to blame Romney, apologize, and campaign in Las Vegas.
  
  Romney has a plan and has values, and details now would only serve a fuel for the Dem lie machine, Obama has no plan, no values, no details and no success. I take my chances with ROmney. Obama is a sure loser.

  It’s a trend that goes all the way back to the primary. In the primary, Mitt Romney got through by talking about how bad Obama was while the other guys had to compete in the battlefield of ideas. Many republican voters voted for Romney because he seemed like the biggest attack dog of the bunch. Now we see the fruits of that
  
  Romney did put out that 50 point plan or whatever it was but that doesnt translate to something the average person can understand or cares to read about
