1) We are the smartest retard because our economy is less bad than the free spenders of the Euro Zone who are about to go bankrupt;
2) Neither did Jimmy Carter who was also an abject failure as president;
3) He has only not done so because he lacks the political support in Congress to accomplish it. The economy would be much worse if the Bush cuts had expired as he wished and even Clinton says they again need to be extended. He has done nothing to spur private investment and he is an over regulator that stymies growth;
4) Obama care will be a cost disaster if not struck down or repealed. It is the most unpopular law in a long time. It also diverted attention from fixing the economy and has led to investment and hiring uncertainty by business as no one knows what will become of it;
5) Porkulous was a failure by its own standard as it was supposed to keep unemployment under 8%. The depression avoidance is the newer standard after the first one utterly failed, but there is no credible evidence to support this position. In point of fact, the stimulus was written by special interests in the D party to benefit special interests there and was not targeted to stimulating growth. Even the lefty economists have criticised it as not being effective. The "green jobs" initiative has also been a spectacular failure;
6) He deserves some credit here, but less than what he is giving himself. It is a point in his favor;
7) Neither did GWB....nuff said;
He can't win on his own record. He only wins by being a taller midget than Romney.
