IN one of the most HILARIOUSLY TRANSPARENT COMPLETE REVERSALS IN POLITICAL HISTORY, major Lie-c-crat spokepeople have done a COMPLETE 180, in LESS THAN 24 HOURS, on their answer to the question, " Are we better off than four years ago?"....: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obama Team Readjusts On Are You Better Off? After either saying no or refusing to give a straight yes or no answer to Sunday show anchors when asked if Americans are better off today than they were four years ago, officials from Team Obama this morning changed their answers and enthusiastically offered a capital-Y Yes. One day ago, Democrats had a different answer to that question. Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley yesterday on CBS was asked if Americans are better off than they were four years ago. No, but thats not the question of this election. The question, without a doubt, we are not as well off as we were before George Bush brought us the Bush job losses, the Bush recession, the Bush deficits, the series of desert wars charged for the first time to credit cards, the national credit card. OMalley today on CNN: We are clearly better off as a country because were now creating jobs rather than losing them. Clearly yesterdays answers from OMalley and other top Democrats were deemed unacceptable. Yes or no, are Americans better off today than they were four years ago? ABC News George Stephanopoulos asked White House senior adviser David Plouffe on Sundays This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Plouffe, continuing to evade a direct yes or no, said that Republicans did a good job of reciting all the statistics everyones familiar with. I think everyone understands we were this close to a great depression. Because of the leadership of this president, we staved that off. Were beginning to recover. We have a lot more work to do. Trying to erase and change the question, Plouffe said, the question is, were going to be far worse off if Mitt Romney is elected president and he gets a chance to enact the same economic policies that created the mess in the first place. Fox News Sundays Chris Wallace and Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod had a similar back and forth. David, is the average American better off than four years ago? Wallace asked. Axelrod responded: I think the average American recognizes that it took years to create the crisis that erupted in 2008 and peaked in January of 2009. And its gonna take some time to work through it. But on CNNs Early Start this morning, anchor John Berman elicited a different response from Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse. Clearly senior staff from the White House and Obama campaign realized that saying Americans were worse off than they were four years ago or at least not insisting that Americans are better off was untenable. Better to take the Labor Day hit for changing messages than stick with a losing message, the thinking seems to be. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/obama-team-walks-back-on-are-you-better-off/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
