Item One: CBS News Poll -- "Sixty-nine percent say the president has not made real progress on the economy, which voters overwhelmingly cite as their most important issue."
Item Two: President Obama in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos -- "I don't think...[the American people] 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."

Flashback from SOTU 2011: "We are poised for progress. Two years after the worst recession most of us have ever known, the stock market has come roaring back. Corporate profits are up. The economy is growing again."

President Barack Obama on NBC's "Today" on February 2, 2009:
Obama: One nice thing about the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. I've got four years.
Lauer: You're going to know quickly how people feel about what's happened.
Obama: That's exactly right. And 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.

For the first six years Bush was beset by a an intellectual insergency. A divided congress the MSM news media, the entertainment industry and academia all relentlessly wore down sound economic policies. Having made the mistake of not doing the Iraq surge soon enough, Bush was vulnerable to their propaganda in 2006. Now he lost both Houses of Congress losing complete control of spending.
What is the point of this ancient History? It is not Bush's fault too! It's all their fault! They are completely responsible for the economic debacle. The American people are beginning to smell this. They are getting really angry. What is interesting about New York's 9th is not only the heavy Republican Jewish vote in Brooklyn. What was much more important politically was what happened in Queens. There is only one Brooklyn but there are many Queens like working class neighborhoods in America. The Democrat came out of Queens (3/4 of the 9th were Queens voters) neck and neck. All over the country if the Democrat comes out of districts like Queens with only 50% of the vote the Republican will win by a landslide. Oh, happy day!

By any chance, did the president offer any explanation about why we aren't better off than we were four years ago? Hmm?

Yeah, he's looking more and more foolish.
But for those who think this presidential election is a done deal, I submit Exhibit A.
She was re-elected. That's right. Re-elected. Easily.
