During President Obama's 60 Minutes interview Sunday night, campaign spokesman CBS News host Steve Kroft asked the President if his party was going to "get shellacked" this November in the midterm elections.

Obama chuckled at the notion and pressed ahead with a "you are better off than you were 6 years ago" campaign message. However, as the Washington Free Beacon points out, the message was not quite as clear and forthright as Democrats probably would have hoped. 

In a nutshell, the President told Kroft the American people are better off now but, "they don't feel it": 

“When I came into office, our economy was in crisis,” Obama said.

The president then cited lower unemployment, private sector job growth, and deficit cuts as evidence of his administration’s success. “I can put my record against any leader around the world in terms of digging ourselves out of a terrible, almost unprecedented financial crisis,” Obama said.

When asked if the president thought the American people could feel that economic success, Obama said, “They don’t feel it.”

“The reason they don’t feel it is because incomes and wages are not going up,” he said. Obama suggested raising the minimum wage, rebuilding infrastructure, and investing in American business to continue strengthening the economy.
