Governor Reagan's closing statement after his debate w/ President Carter included Reagan looking into the camera and asking:
"Are you better off ... " (after 4 years of President Carter's stewardship?)
a) Is that a viable standard for appraising a president's performance? Is it a valid basis to consider voting an incumbent another 4 years, or voting him out of office?
b) What conclusion would you draw, if you apply this Reagan standard to the 8 year presidency of the younger President Bush?
c) What conclusion would you draw if you apply this same standard to the 8 years of the Obama administration?
d) And do you think we'll be better off 4 years from now?
