Exactly who was the President in September of 2008?

Yeah, that's right, GW Bushwacker was the President and now 4 years after the current President inherited that mess, where is the market? At an all time high!

So why does the Romney camp keep asking that question and saying we are worse off now when his own party was the problem and cause of the whole reason people did become worse off as an effect of the Republicans? You would think that his Math Wiz running mate could do the 4 year math problem and realize the answer was Bush, not Obama being the president when we all became worse off.
"Are you better off than you were four years ago?" The Republicans aren't looking for reasoned response, they want a "gut" response -- and they're hoping for it from a lot of those 47% that Romney denounced as freeloaders.
