What a goof. He needs to have answers for state run media questions like that.
The answer to that Government-reporter’s question is, “Of course things are worse! Unemployment is down 1%? First, Obama promised his massive spending would cap the unemployment rate at 8%, and that didn’t happen. Second, unemployment is much higher than 9%. The real rate is 15-20%. Only in the bizzaro world of government statistics is the real rate 9%, where the people who have given up, or are working 20 hours a week under the table are not counted.
When Obama took office, gas was $2 a gallon. Now it’s $3.50. His massive spending has doubled the government debt, now totalling $14 TRILLION! It has led to runaway inflation. If you’re lucky enough to have a job, your paycheck doesn’t go as far. And you think things are better???
I agree. It was a loaded question, but he needs to be ready for those.
