Only Works If You Watch Fox News

At a campaign appearance in San Antonio, TX Wednesday, Mitt Romney accused President Obama of slowing down the economic recovery on purpose in order to get his health care plan passed.
The transcript:
“A book that was written in a way thats apparently pro-President Obama, was written by a guy named Noam Scheiber and in this book he says that there was a discussion about the fact that Obamacare would slow down the economic recovery in this country and they knew that before they passed it.  But they concluded that we would all forget how long the recovery took once it had happened, so they decided to go ahead.  The idea that they knowingly slowed down our recovery in order to put in place Obamacare, which they wanted and they considered historic but the American people did not want or consider historic, is something which I think deserves a lot of explaining, because I think the President’s responsibility is to put people back to work. To get people out of poverty and to help people have good jobs and have prospects for a brighter tomorrow.”
It's a testament to the stupidity, hatred of Obama, and party over country disposition of his audience that he would peddle this garbage.  Even though the Republican party has been hollowing out our economy and outsourcing our middle class for the last 30 years, even though it was Republican party public policy that had us in absolute meltdown in 2008/2009, and even though Mitt Romeny would implement that same failed policy if elected, if Obama doesn't continue to improve things, he won't get re-elected. Unlike the Republicans in congress who have been trying to sabotage the economy to get Obama out of office, it's not in Obama's interest to do so.  Any idiot would know that.    

Additionally, more people with access to healthcare, lower healthcare costs and a reduction in the deficit, all of which Obamacare delivers, makes our country more competitive, not less.  Romney's lunacy, like his public policy, fails on every level.
