I don't buy the media spin that Dem reps "stumbled" over the question "Are you better off now than 4

years ago?" I re-watched those interviews and all the Dem reps answered with sound answers. It's all media spin that they were taken by surprised. This shit is amazing!

2. we still dont have the high paying union jobs we were promised

What happened to card check. I thought we would see more high paying jobs other then fastfood. I'm disappointed we didn't move forward on card check. Maybe the will just do an ex order in the 2nd term. We need high paying jobs.

3. The question is how much worse would it have been

How much worse would it have been if Obama didn't stimulate the economy in 2009?

How much worse would it have been if there were not bailouts?

How much worse would it have been with Sister Sarah in the office with Gramps McCain?

And how much better could it have been if the Republicans didn't make it their sole agenda to make Obama a one term President?

The election

6. How? Start by registering to vote yourself and helping to register others.

Volunteer for GOTV and donate to the presidential and congressional campaigns as much as you are able.

Voilà! That's how!

9. Start by volunteering for the campaign

Find the local Campaign Headquarters, stop by and ask them how you can volunteer.

Here is a link to Volunteer Barrack Obama:
http://www.barackobama.com/om-volunteer

They will put you to work, trust me, they will find the best fit for you and them to get voters registered before deadlines and then get out the vote.

Registration and getting people out to vote is our best offense against the republicans who are placing voter restrictions all over the country.

If the candidates in your area are solid and are not worrying about reelection, consider a neighboring area.

7. Remedy? Mobilize and work in your locality for

expanded union access and membership.

You were "promised" a high paying job? Sounds like you didn't get your pony!

8. Does the President build companies?

[Dkc05]

10. he can with card check.

He can also reorganize companies like he did with Chrysler and GM. He helped keep good paying union jobs.

5. I haven't seen the interviews- just read the media spin

however, when it comes from places like Politico, Huffpo, etc., I tend to readily discount it. It's a complicated question that doesn't have an easy answer/soundbite for most people. IMHO we are doing better overall than we were four years ago (the stats are pretty clear on this) but a lot of people are still struggling and there is still a lot more that needs to be done that isn't getting done, primarily because of the Republican Tea Party, which is refusing to do anything that might look like a "victory" for President Obama and Democratic Party. How to put that into a brief soundbite is something that will need to be figured out.
