Obama: Better Off Now Than Four Years Ago? Define ‘Better.’

Asked if Americans are better off now than they were four years ago, Obama moves the goalposts:

Talking to WCCO-TV of Minnesota, Obama said:

Well, you know, I think we are better off now than we would have been if I hadn’t taken all the steps that we took. I don’t think the country is stronger yet then it was when the economy was still booming and we didn’t have Wall Street crisis, and we didn’t have the housing bubble burst. But, we’ve made steady progress, we just need to make more.
