You are citing on OPINION PIECE in the Fox News-owned Wall Street
Journal, picked up by the Romnet campaign.
Politifact deems it a half truth:
Romney’s ad says that "under Obama families have lost over $4,000 a
year in income."
That figure comes from a new but well-respected index created by
Sentier Research, which tracked a decline in the median family income
from the month Obama took office through June 2012. It’s tricky to
compare that data with census data because they represent different
time periods. But where it is possible to compare Sentier with the
census, the results are within a few dollars of each other.
But the ad’s claim runs into trouble by overtly blaming Obama. The
economy was on a downward track before he took office, and a president
has limited control over those forces. To the extent he should be held
responsible, Mitchell told us, the slow recovery has all been on his
watch.
Romney’s ad cites trustworthy figures but oversimplifies the issue by
assigning blame to Obama. We rate it Half True.
