http://www.bartcop.com/Here's how I would've answered them.
"You're goddamn right we're better off than were were four years ago.
Jesus Christ, doesn't anybody remember for years ago?
The stock market fell to half it's value,
Home prices were falling 5-10 percent per month,
We were losing almost a million goddamn jobs a month,
We didn't know if the banks would stay solvent or fail,
We could have slipped into a depression worse than the big one back in '29.
Now,
the stock market is up about 90 percent under Obama,
Homes are gaining value every month, Phoenix is leading with 13% growth.
Instead of losing a million jobs a month we're gaining 100,000 or so.
The banks have stabilized and Obama prevented the Greatest depression."
