Better Off Platform ... ??? Really?
Republicans prepared a counterpunch to the Democratic National Convention this week by introducing their new line of attack with a not-so-new question: "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"
While Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney spent time on his boat in New Hampshire on Monday, his running mate, Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan, and other Republican officials converged on Charlotte, North Carolina, where President Barack Obama will accept his party's nomination and enter the home stretch of the 2012 race for the White House.
The Romney campaign kicked off its effort to "bracket" the convention with a new emphasis on what it called Obama's failed presidency, a theme Romney himself punctuated in his speech a week earlier to the Republican National Convention.
Asking Americans if they are better off than they were before the current president took over is hardly a new line in U.S. presidential politics, but Republicans ran with the phrase in their efforts to upstage the Democratic gathering.
anyone think Willard isnt better off now than he was in 08?
the last two tax returns show he made $13 million in carry forward interest for his managing Bain ...
the campaign conjures up a question trying to make the dems look bad ... then Willard has to answer YES to the question .
BRILLIANT !

Of course the millionaire Obama is better off. If you factor in all the free food for parties, the free flights, the free vacations, the free campaign travel... Romney may live well but it is his money ya damn socialist. Barack is living off of us.

the topic is the Romney platform .. everyone knows all about Obie .. anything about that?
and as far as socialist goes, look no further than Ryan ... he vows to save medicare. Anything about that?

David Axelrod doesn't think we are better off after 4 years of Obama.
When asked on the Sunday talk shows, Axelrod wouldn't affirm we are better off.

I love the way "millionaire Obama" is used disparagingly in the same paragraph noting that gazillionaire Romney, with his half-dozen homes, off-shore bank accounts, and 13% income tax rate, "may live well." The hypocrisy boggles the mind. It's fine for the white blue-blood venture capitalist vulture to make money....but a skinny black guy from a single-parent family who made it on guts, brains and determination to be the most powerful man in the world, oh noooo. He shouldn't be allowed to make any money by writing a book, should he? You're not even capable of recognizing the irony, are you?
President Obama has earned every nickel he made. None of it courtesy of some rich, well-connected daddy/family who paved the way for him like Romney and, of course, everybody's favorite leper whose name we're not allowed to mention: George W. Bush.

And Bill Ayers too....dirty commie hippie. Those guys are from Chicago!!
That real estate deal wasn't the smartest thing Obama ever did, for sure. But, Rezko putting money in Obama's pocket? Other than campaign contributions?....same as Rezko did for numerous Republicans? Didn't happen.
Save it.
