"Only fitting, since THEY created it. But you'll learn that the hard way when they dig us into an even deeper hole. And some of us won't get out."

People are either gullible, have very short memories, or are willfully ignorant. "Those who don't learn from history"...

they are responsible for everything beginning from the precise moment that "vicory" is declared. After all, they blamed Obama on the recession even before the 2008 election.

And a year or two into a Romney adminiistration, even if he does nothing, things will be much improved and he, of course, will grab all the credit for Obama's hard work.

Among a million other reasons, that is another reason Obama needs to win: so he can reap the rewards of all his hard work and go down in history as one of America's great presidents.
