Is American better off?

To cut through all the hyperbolic rhetoric of the GOP primary and the vile fear-mongering and name-calling of conservative talk radio, we can ask one simple question: Is America is better off than it was four years ago?

When Obama became President, America was in a deep recession headed toward another Great Depression.

Not any more. Gaddafi still ruled Libya, the Iraq war had no end in sight, and bin Laden was on the loose.

Not any more. Obama fulfilled campaign promises to pull out of Iraq and get bin Laden. And the American economy is in recovery.

With success like this, ALL of our Presidents should be Maoist/Communist/Salinist America haters!
