Bill Kristol: Obama Has Turned Around The Financial Meltdown ‘Pretty Well’

Newsflash: Bill Kristol: Obama Has Turned Around The Financial Meltdown ‘Pretty Well’ |

The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol advised Mitt Romney to avoid making the election about the last four years, noting that the Obama administration inherited the crisis from Bush and has handled it well. “If this election is just about the last four years, that’s a muddy verdict. Bush was president during the financial meltdown. The Obama team has turned that around pretty well. Bill Clinton’s speech at the convention was very important in that way,” he said. Romney “has go to make it a choice about the next four years and explain what obama would do that would be bad for the country and what he would do to be good.”

and not in a Ha Ha sort of way.

Kristol says that President Obama has done well amd in the same breath says that romney must make the point that disaster is ahead if President Obama continues to do what he has been doing?

That can only make sense to a very dense mind.

We will retain the presidency, senate, and at worst probably get some house seats back.

The bonus fun will be watching the teabilly republican party tear itself to shreds critiquing the RNC collapse. The pile on will be on Romney, who we will never see again after his November 7th concession speech, and he will be blamed for EVERYTHING that went wrong.

If I have a concern, it's with the rigging of the Diebold voting machines and the republicans that run them. I feel powerless to change that, especially at this late date.

Kristol is historically wrong, but I think he nailed this analysis.

Is a PNAC guy....he's looking long term. My guess, he's given up and is thinking about who they can run in 2016 to beat Hillary or Elizabeth Warren.
