George W. Bush inherited a strong economy, a budget surplus, and a nation at peace.
Eight years later, he left Obama with a shattered economy, a trillion dollar deficit, and two useless wars.
Obama saved the country from another Great Depression, rebuilt GM, reformed healthcare, reformed Wall Street, doubled the stock market, created 8 straight quarters of GDP growth, created 22 straight months of private sector job growth, got Bin Laden, got Gaddafi, and got us out of Iraq.
And now with the automatic spending cuts and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in 2012, Obama has solved the deficit problem as well.
Obama has done a very good job.
It almost looks as if he is walking on water.

I'm hearing these Romney attacks. It seems to me that libs are desperate b/c Obama can't run on his record.
Libs, why should we vote for Obama? Tell me what he has done that is so great?

I think it's safer to say that Obama's record will run over him.
I can't wait for the GOP to turn it's guns on Mr. Failure....and if Romney has a decent VP candidate....Biden will seal the deal...for the GOP.
You might add, record for most times ignoring the constitution along with proposing to cut medicare.
Obama saved us from a Great Depression? We all know that's a lie. We were not heading for a Great Depression. And it's the Dems corruption that led to the foreclosure crisis. You think I want Obama walking lock-step with those same people?
The stock market did not double under Obama. Where do you get this stuff?
8 quarters of GDP growth? Does that account for inflation? I somehow doubt it. GDP growth is an expectation, not an accomplishment.
22 straight months of private sector growth? Unemployment stayed high and government grew the most easily.
3.9M private sector jobs in the past three years, economic growth since four months after he took office, ending the war in Iraq on schedule, removing troops from Afghanistan as scheduled, passing the most sweeping health care reform since LBJ, ending DADT, passing sweeping financial-sector reform etc....
Yes, he can and will run on his record- and on the two-faced record of his opponent, who supported abortion, a mandate etc...before he opposed them.

He also should point out..that Romney was a corporate raider that put people out of work. And made millions doing it.

Ugh.
As a financial advisor, a partner in a multi-state firm, and someone who is neck deep in matters of the economy and the market, I think I'll try to help a little here.
We were not heading for a Great Depression.
Probably significantly worse. While the Great Depression did have effects in Europe, for example, the meltdown of 2008 had far broader and deeper impact on the entire world economy. As far as our country is concerned, we were on the precipice of something never seen before. Our financial system was not just damaged, it was literally falling apart; money markets were not functioning. I remember the precise moment, even where I was standing, when I heard that money market funds had actually dipped below their customary $1.00 level - that's when I was, for the first time, truly scared. Most people don't know about that moment.
The stock market did not double under Obama. Where do you get this stuff?
Well yes, the market did roughly double under Obama. One good benchmark I like to use is VFINX, which is Vanguard's flagship S&P 500 index fund. On March 2, 2009, this fund closed at $63.26. As of this morning, it is at $129.78. Does that help?
8 quarters of GDP growth? Does that account for inflation? I somehow doubt it. GDP growth is an expectation, not an accomplishment.
Does that account for inflation? It doesn't have to, nor is GDP growth vs. inflation a metric that is used with any regularity. Well, other than for political spin. But most importantly, this economy was in a shambles on January 1, 2009, the day Obama took office, and that fact can never, ever be spun away.
22 straight months of private sector growth? Unemployment stayed high and government grew the most easily.
This is closer to being correct; but anyone who understands the depth, breadth and nature of this meltdown understands why this recovery is taking so long. While I very much dislike seeing government jobs growing like that, it was better than no growth at all, and I know that this growth has already been reversed.
Pretending that this economic meltdown was just another recession has to be intellectually dishonest, because there is far too much information and proof out there for someone who is paying attention not to know about it. People who are pretending this was just another blip know better, and it's abundantly clear they're just playing politics.
And we're not out of the woods yet. Not even close.
And by the way, off my main topic, had Bush been the one to kill bin Laden (and he wasn't), the GOP would STILL be crowing from the mountaintops about it. And I think everyone knows that.

He also should point out..that Romney was a corporate raider that put people out of work. And made millions doing it.
Don't even kid yourself, he will.
Problem is Romney also created a lot of jobs and saved a lot of companies from going completely under, but the left will try to ignore or water that down. Unfortunately for the left those that work for the companies Romney saved know different.

He will -- without question -- and with just a couple of exceptions -- run the fuck away from his record.
