Every night at 10:30, “Everybody Loves Raymond.” I tell him it’s stupid, but no, we have to connect with ordinary—he’s behind me, isn’t he?
Can you really say that you’re better off than you were four years ago? Don’t think about exactly four years ago, when the economy collapsed and we were still deciding whether Barack Obama or John McCain would be our next president. Obviously you’re better off than you were right then. But think about five years ago, before the crash and subsequent gradual improvement, and ask again: are you better off than you were four years ago? Because if you aren’t, Mitt Romney would like to point out that he has not been president during that time at all.
