Zactly. The campagn ads can write themselves: When Obama took office the average gas price was this and is now that. When Obama took office the average price of a loaf of bread was this and is now that. When Obama took office the average unemployment number was this and is now that...Debt before and now...deficit before and now...housing values was this now that...
You get the picture. The big O can run from the numbers but all he wants.
Housing. We were blessed when we sold our 20 yr old house in FL in September and actually sold it for more than we owed. Now we bought a 4 year old house in NV 1 and a half times bigger than the one in FL for 50% less than it sold for 4 years ago. Truly blessed.
