Just ask him

So do you think the economy isn't doing well? Apparently you're wrong:

Discussing his economic policies at a fundraiser in Oakland, California, last night, President Obama told supporters that “we tried our plan — and it worked.”

“We tried that and it didn’t work,” Obama said of Mitt Romney’s proposed tax cuts and spending cuts, which he dismissed as a Bush-style “top down” economic policy.  “Just like we’ve tried their plan, we tried our plan — and it worked,” he added later in the speech.  “That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election.  That’s why I’m running for a second term.”

It worked. Well, there you go.
