David Axelrod was on Fox News Sunday this morning and told host Chris Wallace that Americans are better off today than we were four years ago.
“We’re in a better position than we were four years ago.” Axelrod said, citing, for example, how the nation has experienced 29 straight months of jobs growth.
He acknowledged that the nation’s economy isn’t where Obama would like it to be, but that he inherited an extremely dire situation.
“It’s going to take some time to work through it,” Axelrod said, taking the opportunity to pan Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney “never offered anyone a plausible alternative” during last week’s Republican Nnational Convention in Tampa, Fla.
He went on to call the Republican National Convention a terrible failure. But the terrible failure is Obama’s presidency. As I noted on Sulia:
Record gas prices, unemployment over 8%, family net worth shrinking – how is that better off? Talk about out of touch.
David Plouffe had a little more trouble with the question, so he avoided it.
Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley (D) came right out and said that the US is not better off. Then he bashed Bush, who isn’t on the ballot.
O’Malley doesn’t have to worry about losing his job this fall, Axelrod and Plouffe do, which is why they will never admit that things are worse today than they were four years ago.
If anyone takes credence to what this man has to say, they seriously need to have a mental health exam scheduled Stat!

David Axlerod is MUCH better off now than he was four years ago.
So are all his Progressive/Socialist/Communist buddies in and around the White house.
And that’s all that matters to David Axlerod.

[...] than they were four years ago. Plouffe also dodged the question as he was taught as opined by the Lonely Conservative, if you can’t answer the question, just avoid it. In other words … “if you can [...]

David Plouffe and his ilk get away with the tremendous lie that the United States was “on the verge of another depression” but for the great Obama.
Bullshit. TARP, for better or worse, was enacted under Bush, NOT Obama. Obama’s big “contribution” was the trillion dollar boondoggle known as the “stimulus,” which stimulated 10% unemployment and endemic unemployment.
When the hell will somebody in the media call Obama and his cronies on this stupid “he prevented another depression” lie??

It also stimulated a lot of campaign cash and laundered money to reelect him, and prolong the dirtiest, most dishonest and corrupt administration in the history of the world. A media that is only half-way honest would expose this Communist thief for what he is and end his career.
