Would you say you, yourself are better off financially than you were when Obama became president, not as well off, or in about the same shape as then financially?
“Financially, everything is still the same for me. I still have average credit, I can’t get approved for a house loan and my salary is still the same after a year and a half. It’s frustrating. I don’t know if my situation staying the same has anything to do with Obama’s first term in office, but I’m still waiting for that bill where medical bills don’t show up on your credit record. I thought that was supposed to be passed months ago.” — Katie Matalas, 27, Kenosha, Wis.See more responses to this question on The Post’s Liberty: Through the Lens project, the second in a series of photo and audio essays on voters’ opinions as they wrestle with the issues of 2012.
