Economic Argument in a Nutshell

We all know that since President Obama has a "weak or worse" performance record during his time in office, he will spend his time misrepresenting in this campaign - misrepresenting his own record as more positive than reality says it is, and misrepresenting his opponent and his positions.

On the economy, since Obama has such a poor record, I expect he will spend his time trying to tie Romney to the Bush era and disparage both together.

There's a rather simple response to this, and it was stated well in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal this morning:

"Coming from outside Washington and with his business background, Mr. Romney can make the case for an economic restoration that corrects the mistakes of both the Bush and Obama eras. He can join with the younger generation of GOP reformers—in the states and on Capitol Hill—to pursue an agenda that promises to fix our ailing public institutions, wean Wall Street from Washington, and create more opportunity for all Americans."
