Obama: We’re better off with my policies than four years ago

(By Ed Morrissey, Hot Air) - As Jim Geraghty says, it all depends on your definition of “better.”  Do we have more jobs?  No.  Do we have lower unemployment?  No.  Do we have a more balanced federal budget? No.  Do we have increasing household income? No.

Hope and change, baby!

Well, you know, I think we are better off now than we would have been if I hadn’t taken all the steps that we took. I don’t think the country is stronger yet then it was when the economy was still booming and we didn’t have Wall Street crisis, and we didn’t have the housing bubble burst. But, we’ve made steady progress, we just need to make more.
