FROM OBAMA’S  MOUTH, WERE YOU LISTENING?
Obama: Americans Are Not Better Off Than They Were Four Years Ago. OBAMA: “Well I don’t think they are better off than they were four years ago. 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.”(ABC News/Yahoo News’ Live Interview, 10/3/11)
Obama: America Has “Gotten A Little Soft.” OBAMA: “The way I think about it is, you know, this is a great, great country that had gotten a little soft and, you know, we didn't have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades. We need to get back on track.” (WESH-NBC, 9/29/11)
Obama: “If I Don’t Have This Done In Three Years, Then There’s Going To Be A One-Term Proposition.” OBAMA: “That's exactly right. And — and, you know, a year from now I think people — are going to see that — we're starting to make some progress. But there's still going to be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition.” (NBC’s “The Today Show,” 2/2/09)
Obama: “If Stuff Hasn’t Worked And People Don’t Feel Like I’ve Led The Country In The Right Direction, Then You’ll Have A New President.” OBAMA:“And there's no excuse--I’m not going to make any excuses. If stuff hasn't worked and people don't feel like I’ve led the country in the right direction, then you'll have a new president.”(President Barack Obama, Remarks on Economic Stabilization and a Question-and-Answer Session, Fort Myers, Florida, 2/10/09)
Obama: It’s My Economy, “Give It To Me.” OBAMA: “Now, my administration has a job to do, as well, and that job is to get this economy back on its feet. That's my job. And it's a job I gladly accept.

Vice President Biden Says Obama’s Responsible For The Economy And That Americans Are Right To Be Mad. BIDEN: “There’s a lot of people in Florida that have good reason to be upset because they’ve lost jobs. Even though 50 some percent of the American people think the economy tanked because of the last administration, that’s not relevant. What’s relevant is we’re in charge. And right now we are the ones in charge and it’s gotten better but it hasn’t gotten good enough. And in states like Florida, it’s even been more stagnant because of the real estate market. And so I don’t blame them for being mad. We’re in charge.”(WLRN/Miami Herald News, 9/28/11)
