Powerful new Romney ad blames Obama for GOP recession
That's what happens when you fail to defend yourself, and fail to keep reminding people of your accomplishments - well, and fail to focus on jobs and, instead, embrace GOP talking points about the deficit.If Mitt Romney were president, unemployment wouldn't be at 9.1%, it'd be at 10.9%. Romney opposed the stimulus (after he found out other Republicans were opposing it - of course, Romney was for the stimulus before he realized GOPers didn't like it).
It's pretty criminal that any Republican could try to pin George Bush's recession on Barack Obama, especially since the Republicans in Congress made the recession worse by forcing the President to accept a smaller stimulus than he knew was needed (not that the President doesn't share in the blame, for not fighting for a larger stimulus).
Like death panels before it, these lies become truth when you have a President and a party that don't fight back. Every day the GOP talks about Obama's deficit, but how often do you hear Obama talk about how the deficit saved the country from a Republican Depression? The man isn't going to get credit for anything if he constantly lets the people forget what he did, and let's the Republicans then redefine it.
PS As Judd Legum notes, it's ironic that Romney himself has used the phrase "bump in the rode," something he criticizes Obama for in this new ad.
