Democrats: Economy better now than it was before Obama By Michael O'Brien - 09/07/10 01:29 PM ET
The economy is in a better position now than it was when President Obama took office, Democrats argued Tuesday.
The White House and a top congressional leader made the case that the economy has improved under Democratic control of government, though polls showed voters are less convinced.
"I think by virtually any measure, our economy is a better place than it was two years ago," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said at his daily briefing.
The assertion came amid new polls showing confidence slipping in Democrats' ability to handle the economy.
Forty-six percent of U.S. adults said they trust Republicans to handle the economy, compared to 43 percent who trust Democrats, according to a CNN/Opinion research poll released Tuesday. That's a reversal from just a year ago, when Americans trusted Democrats, 53-39 percent, over Republicans to handle the economy.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), the chairman of House Democrats' campaign committee, said that while the economy was fragile, it was still improved.
"We're a lot better off than we were 18 months ago, but we're not where we want to be," he said Tuesday morning during an appearance on CNN.

The Goebbels school of economics. Tell a big lie often enough and it will be believed.
Do not believe your bank account. Do not believe your pay check. Do not believe your neighbors’ unemployment. Do not believe your investments. Repeat after me: “The economy is better than before Obama . . . The economy is better than before Obama . . . The economy is beter than before Obama . . . The

Demonstrably insane, utter moonbat, barking, howling, gibbering, crazy as a sh**house rat insane.
Liberalism is a mental disorder, doncha know
Once again the Dems think we’re just too stupid to realize all the great things they’ve done for the economy.
At that time, the Dem/MSM axis strategy did a pivot...they switched from bad-mouthing the War in Iraq to bad-mouthing the economy to pave the way for their guy to get into the Oval Office in '08.
It worked and they succeeded in depleting the wealth of almost every American.
Hanging and quartering is in order to EVERY ONE of these people.
Some are born idiots and can never change.
They are counting on their friends in the media to repeat this with a straight face, over and over.
