Recently re-elected Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., offered a sharp contrast Saturday to President Obama’s claim Friday that the U.S. is better off now than it was when he took office eight years ago.

“This has been a difficult eight years. Terror returned to our shores from Boston to San Bernardino. We’ve endured the worst economic recovery since World War II and the weakest labor participation in 40 years. The middle class has shrunk. And the cost of healthcare has skyrocketed under President Obama,” Toomey said in the GOP weekly address on Saturday. “Many Americans don’t believe their children will be better off than they were. And some younger people feel the American dream is slipping out of reach.”
