Mr. Obama had said that the Democrats measured progress by the amount of people able to find jobs, the ability of Americans to see their incomes rise, "whether someone with a good idea can take a risk and start a business," and an economy that "honors the dignity of work." He left out the paert about needing $80 to fill the gas tank. The history books will record Obama as tyhe president of the three F's. Fantasy, Fraud, Failure. Leaving America F'd in the process.
Obama has failed on the economy and keeps spending a trillion dollars a year of money we have to borrow, and now he has attacked the Catholic Church by taking away their religious freedom. The 35 million Catholics will remember this in the fall of 2012.
Willard and Newt are have an attach Obama contest. It will be pretty funny if neither of them ends up as the nominee because they spent so much time and money going after each other and Obama and not enough on their other rivals. I suppose we can expect the Romney and Newt superpacs to start lying as much about Santorum as they do about each other and Obama. The next few weeks will be interesting.
Taking shots at all of his GOP rivals, he said, "I'm the only person in this race, Republican or Democrat, who has never served a day of time in Washington. In the world I come from, leadership is about starting a business, not trying to get a bill out of committee."
"The presidency is not the place to learn how to lead," the GOP front-runner added. "It is a place to exercise the judgment and leadership that has been learned over a lifetime."
And, as I recall, Obama wanted to be a good one-term president, rather than a bad two-term one.
It has been said that context is important, and I'm not sure who I want to vote for.
Does Willard know that the meltdown came in Sept. 2008? Did Willard the business genius predict it? No. Why does he believe that Obama should have predicted it? I guess Mitt sets the bar lower for himself. The economy is way better than it was at the end of Bush. At that time, the stock market was plummeting and we were losing 700,000 jobs per month. Even superman needs some track to stop a train. The Bush recession dug a huge hole. We're making progress. Stay the course.
When Obama made those comments in 2008, who could have guessed that Republicans in Congress would rather see America fail as a Country rather than work with Obama to help him succeed as the President. Give Obama a functioning Congress and who knows what greatness he might achieve.
"Judgment and leadership," Mitt? Four years of tax cuts for the superrich, delusional "trickle-down" promises for the rest of us, plus the same deregulation that produced the crash of 2008, and the same union-busting and safety-net destruction that are destroying the few remaining hopes of the middle class? Sorry, Willard, but that's not a very appealing prospect...and it sounds more POOR judgment and LACK OF leadership to me.
