Well, let's see...

1) The Dow is WAY up compared to what it was 4 years ago, as 4 years ago it was in a nosedive and everybody was clammoring for President Elect Obama to take over before inauguration...to which he responded that this nation has only one president at a time. Dubya and his Party bailed out on the country before the term was up.

2) 4 years ago we were hemorrhaging jobs including the automotive jobs. Today we're gaining jobs AND we're gaining unemployed troops recently brought home from abroad, so the unemployment rate is nothing to go by.  Automotive jobs were saved and although new jobs haven't kept up with the influx of unemployed veterans, and the loss of government jobs at the behest of the conservatives, we're adding jobs, not hemorrhaging jobs like we were 4 years ago.

So yeah--the nation IS better off than it was 4 years ago.
