I've gotten several raises since then, went from being part-time to full-time and my 401k has grown significantly. Most people I know and work with are much better off now than they were in 2008.

10. Hey, Chris Hayes program this weekend is the best ever.

A brilliant discussion of Obama and unions and Wall Street and our economy. Just a fantastic show.

I just listened to it here:

Chris Hayes can't be beat. Most intelligent person on newsroom TV in my opinion. And I really, really like the whole MSNBC team (well except Morning Joe and maybe Andrea Mitchell).

11. Yes, I am much better off then I was in 2008.

And I'd be even better off if the Labor Board had gone after the CEO of my former company who "legally" stole a healthy 5 figure sum from my retirement account. Let's just say I am not a fan of unregulated capitalism.

12. I am definitely better off today since four years ago Bush* was still occupying the Oval Office
Mon Sep 3, 2012, 04:10 PM
Sep 2012

and today he is not. The rest of the world held this Country is deep disrespect. And the Wall Street high rollers tanked the economy in the "anything goes" days of no regulation condoned by Bush*. Thousands of jobs were being lost each month, and none of our public officials had the foggiest idea of how to stabilize our crumbling economic world.

Today, a different man sits in the Oval Office, one who has carefully crafted a reconstruction that involves tangible stabilization planks as opposed to bubbles destined to pop in the near future. I do not worry that this man will implement a "preemptive war" on another nation that will send many of our citizens to fight in the name of greed. My rights as a female are being protected, and I look forward to The Affordable Care Act giving me lower prices for the health care I need. I look towards Michigan and I see a booming automobile industry, one that was indeed failing under the previous administration and was propped up just long enough for its politicians to blame Obama for its failure, but which industry our current President assisted into recovery and prosperity.

Absolutely yes! I am better off today than I was four years ago. I am no longer ashamed of my President and I look forward to his re-election in November. At that time, hopefully, the Republican obstructionists which hindered his attempts to inject shots of stimulus into this suffering nation's economy, will be packing their bags and cleaning out their offices for newly-elected Democratic replacements. I do have an overabundance of hope that a full recovery will be opening up soon to the American people who have waited so long for the scabs and scars of the Bush* administration to heal.
