Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post.
It takes a supreme ego to assert that because Obama failed at the central
task of his presidency, economic revival, no one else could have done better. He
made a series of policy choices that had real ramifications, both economic and
political. He made poor choices and now doesn’t want to accept the consequences
of those choices.
It is up to Romney to point out what choices Obama made and the consequences
of those choices (e.g. a credit rating downgrade, enormous debt, anemic growth).
Romney is saying he will “fact check” Obama in the debate. Bad idea. He needs to
give the country a reality check. He can start by debunking the idea that we are
on the road to prosperity and Obama did the best that any president ever could
have.
