Are You Better Off Now Than Four Years Ago?

Four years ago millions flocked to Washington to see Barack Obama sworn in as President after a two year campaign on a promise of hope and change.

Now he will be officially sworn in as required by the Constitution at noon on Sunday, January 20 in a small White House ceremony. The official White House Schedule posted on the Whitehouse.gov website lists "no public schedule" for the day the President will take the oath of office for his second term.

That will be followed by the ceremonial sweaing-in during the Presidential Inauguration Celebration Monday, MLK Day, on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol.

The nation is in a different place than it was four years ago. The word "historic" is always used for every presidential inauguration. In 2009 it was used in virtually every mention of the inauguration as the first African-American president was sworn in.

Now with four years of the Obama Presidency in the history books, we'd like to know what his administration and policies have meant for you.

Are you better off than you were four years ago?

How has Mr. Obama's presidency impacted you and/or your business personally? Are you and your family better off than when President Obama took office on January 20, 2009? What would you like to see happen in the second Obama term?
