#1 Americans seem better able to spot a Marxist liar now.

#2 You mean we are a lot worse off than 6 years ago when the Donks took over Congress and started this whole mess?

#3 Hell, Americans are not even better off than they were 40 years ago. Take care of our own and make our own stuff.

#4 They're not better off than they were before Lehman's collapse, before the financial crisis, before this extraordinary recession that we're going through.

Translation:

It's Bush's fault.

#6 Look for that first sentence to be used in every Republican's advertising for the whole 2012 election cycle.

Boy, for the smartest and most awesome intellect ever to occupy the White House, he's sure not very bright, handing his opposition a money quote on a silver platter like that.

#8 I'm still waiting for a poll of voters who were unemployed when they voted for Obama - are they still unemployed & would they re-elect him if they could? I strongly suspect the answer is 'yes' to both questions, but would like to be wrong.

#9 "We've made steady progress to stabilize the economy"
So why have things continued to get worse?

#10 So why have things continued to get worse? 'Stablize' means something different in DC than in the real world, e.g. the Federal Reserve has a legal responsibility to maintain stable prices, something it has never done. It's also supposed to maximize employment.

#11 I'm better off today than 6 years ago - kids are off the payroll. And than 40 years ago - got a real job now, instead of parking cars for tips.

#12 Good for you, Glenmore.

I've got a brain the size of a planet and they've got me parking cars.

#13 Define "better off."

Money's not the only thing to judge by - we have less freedom and more gummint intrusion.

And TRAITORS IDIOTS in charge trying to destroy our country.
