By now I’m sure you’ve seen or heard the poll.  A new CBS News poll reveals that 80% of Americans believe that they are no better off today than they were four years ago.  Golly!  Ya think?   Obama’s “recovery” is the worst this nation has ever seen.  That’s not hyperbole.  That’s actual numbers … it’s a cold, hard fact.  The economic recovery under Obama has been a classic failure. 

You want some numbers?

Caesar Obammus will likely finish his first term without experiencing a single quarter of 4% GDP growth.  Six million fewer Americans are earning paychecks today than prior to 2008.  People have been out of work so long that Obama’s administration had to redefine what it meant to be long-term unemployed.  Inflation is raising the cost of basic goods.  We know what’s been happening with gas prices.  The housing market is stalling near the bottom.  Add to that the ballooning student loan debt and the inability for young people to get started in careers, buy houses or start families.  Rich Americans who invest in small businesses are being threatened with higher taxes and have been subjects to an all-out class warfare battle.  Meanwhile, older Americans are giving up and pulling out of the labor force, drawing on government benefits that will consume our entire federal budget by 2020.  We now have less tax payers than we do tax consumers.  Our government will hit $1 trillion of deficits for a record fourth year under Obama’s rule.  And all of this without a budget from our Congress.  Oh and the little, minor, teensy issue of a nuclear Iran also doesn’t help matters.

Now I ask you … do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago? 

I didn’t think so. 

Dear Ruler himself said in February 2009, “If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition.”  By “this” I assume he means the recovery, correct?  I would hardly consider Obama’s “recovery” a success. 

By the way, Harry Reid says that this CBS News poll is “meaningless.”  That’s how liberals argue – they simply discredit something as false, with nothing to back them up, and then refuse to debate the point.
