You have said that the economic policies President Obama put in place prior to the economic recovery are not responsible for that recovery.

You have also implied that the economic policies President G.W. Bush put in place prior to the economic collapse are not responsible for that collapse.


This leaves only two possibilities:

1) You have everything backward and can't be trusted with our nation's economic future.

2) A President's economic policies are not responsible for the nation's economic well being and voters should not be electing someone based on their economic policies (the basis for your entire campaign).


Which is it?

my reflection in the mirror.
America.
Freedom.
Personal responsibility, and though I was only governor for 4 years, I didn't inhale. Ha ha!

The real story about the recession is that 'President' Obama is responsible for the crash, but George W. Bush is responsible for the recovery.

I didn't inhale! Ha ha! Ha ha. Grab your butt.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, prosperity, hey, I'm a job creator.

If you will permit me, I feel moved to sing. Please join in if you know the words.

Depending. Actually my favorite was always 42. I've been very consistent about this.

But I didn't inhale.

If you'd be so kind as to pay close attention to the TV news, being scrupulously careful to avoid any news from those dirty foreigners, that would be a great start. Please disregard anything about Rick Santorum's surge or my currently lackluster stats. Those numbers are all lies.

Buy lots and lots of stuff, because that is a patriotic thing to do. If you're low on cash, no worries, take out a loan, or maybe two. If you can mortage your house for even more than it's worth, buy a new car whether you need one or not, and spend every nickel you can impressing the hell out of your neighbors, you are on the right track.

Remember that corporations are people and money is speech, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they are un-American and should be shunned.

God bless America!

That reminds me of my favorite song. Join along if you know the words, won't you?

Jesus, Freedom, Prosperity. I didn't inhale. Ha ha!

I will force spiders and badgers on the other side, and force them to give up. Oh hey, this is for the cow.

Now you've got me whispering to a freak who thinks that fish have menstrual cycles. Yo momma's pudgy. Face it. Freedom.

I'm assuming Mittens decides he was the first to wear a sweater vest before he didn't wear them so he'll have one on before long.
