Why is the media obsessed with the question, "are YOU better off than you were four years ago?" Shouldn't the correct question be, "is OUR country better off than it was four years ago?" Makes a big difference, no? "No man is an island," right?

Why run away from this question, when the answer is simple:
0- 4 years ago we were losing 700,000 jobs per month. Today we are creating private sector jobs
1- Auto Industry, Ohio, Detroit IS BETTER TODAY THAN 4 years ago
2- Car Battery Industry is better today that it wast 4 years ago
3- Student Loans is better today than it was 4 years ago
4- Senior who's presc drugs are cheaper today is better today than she was 4 years ago
5- Stock market is better today than it was 4 years ago
6- Consumer Protection bureau is better today than it was 4 years ago
7- 4 millions jobs created is better today than it was 4 years ago
8- Latino Dreamers are is better today than they where 4 years ago
And I could EASILY GO ON. Why would any democrat run away from this? LOL Makes no sense!
