Wow, you mean through two campaigns where a candidate says millions of words they found a few instances where he said almost the same thing in speeches? Gasp! Talk about 'gotcha journalism'.
Maybe it's because he's consistent in his beliefs, not a shapeshifter who changes his beliefs and positions daily like Romney. Maybe it's because while things are indeed better he knows they can still get better, and that we are still enduring some the same effects of the hole we had to dig out of?
That's how adults think.
Just because Romney NEVER says the same thing, or takes the same position twice, it doesn't mean others are just as disingenuous.
The final question in that ad was - "Are you better off?" I guess more Americans feel they are.
Why be so mindless?
