Obama 2008: “The Question This Election Is ‘Will This Country Be Better Off Four Years From Now’” — Obama 2012: “The Question This Election Is Not How We’re Doing Today”…




Nice try.


[T]he embattled Democratic incumbent also laid out his answer to the question Ronald Reagan posed to devastating effect in the 1980 election: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”

“The real question, the question that will actually make a difference in your life, in the lives of your children, is not just about how we’re doing today. It’s about how we’ll be doing tomorrow,” Obama said. “Will we be better off if more Americans get a better eduation? That’s the question. Will be be better off if we depend less on forign oil and more on our own ingenuity? That’s the question. Will we be better off if we start doing some nation building right here at home? That’s the question. Will we be better off if we bring down our deficit without gutting the very things we need to grow?”

A Republican official quickly noted that Obama, at a 2008 rally in Florida, had told voters: “The question in this election is not ‘Are you better off than you were four years ago?’ We know the answer to that. The real question is, ‘Will this country be better off four years from now?

STUMBLE:“It’s a campaign faux pas to hold an event in a room that isn’t full; to promise the media a more-than-capacity crowd then fall this far short of that promise is utter incompetence. In 2008, Obama ran a near-flawless campaign, buoyed by enthusiasm and effective organizing. But it’s not 2008 any more, and on day one of the 2012 campaign, Team Obama has already made an embarrassing blunder.”
