"The economists' criticisms vary. Some say Obama was distracted by his health care overhaul. Others say his $862 billion stimulus program was poorly designed. Still others fault him for not pushing for an even bigger stimulus when the economy proved weaker than expected."
"Jamal Simmons, an adviser to the Obama campaign in 2008, said the president must remind voters how bad things were when he took office. The economy lost more than 820,000 jobs the month Obama was sworn in, the biggest drop since October 1949."
When the economists on the left are whining the stimulus wasn't large enough and misspent, others are both blaming and praising bernake and lamenting an election strategy should be to remind people how bads things were when obummer took office.....
As we subject ourselves to romney apologists in the story pushing his presidency......as the "Answer".
Holy chit we are screwed.

You mean raising taxes for a tax cut isn't a good idea?

The best analogy I can come up is that for the last three years Stymie has been painting the out-house while the barn burned down . It's as simple as that . ::oldman::

In some ways I feel better about the political situation, because we are so well and truly screwed that it doesn't matter what this nation of morons does in the voting booth. We have a date with Reality, and "I'm washing my hair" won't work as an excuse any longer.
Still, I continue to see all these articles from the ever-skittish punditry cautioning Republican candidates about what the latest polls show being "unpopular" cuts or "popular" programs. Shows just how much of a gulf there is between them and Reality. What people "like" doesn't amount to a hill of beans now. Social Security can be the "third rail of politics" all it wants, doesn't matter. The jig is up. All that remains is our Greece scenario, when that cold splash of reality gets the looters up and agitated, hurling firebombs in the streets.
The response to that could be a profound opportunity. All the drains and burdens on our civilization are about to proudly self-identify as such.

Agreed, the script is written, it's just a matter of how much dancing goes on before the main curtain goes up. What happens at that point we can speculate about till we turn blue. I just hope there is an opportunity and not a nefarious fait accompli.
