Romney is Hoping the media totally rewrites history

Big Love Mitt Romney's Campaign had this to say on Thursday concerning the economy:

“The fact that it [the economy] struggled through the last three years is not the fault of Barack Obama’s predecessor, it’s the fault of this administration and the failure of their policies to really get this economy going again,” he said.Fehrnstrom said that Obama “cannot take any credit for any success on the jobs front.” “None at all,” he added.

As I noted yesterday, that's quite retarded for a political campaign to suggest.  Let's imagine this if you will.  The standard the Romney Campaign demands the president be held to is one of complete failure.  Even though facts suggest differently, Republicans don't care.  Even though the Obama administration has witnessed more job creation in one year than Bush had in 8 years doesn't matter.  Even though the Dow is up 85% since Obama took over, it too doesn't matter.  Even though the budget deficit is smaller now than what Obama inherited doesn't matter.  Even though the nation has witnessed continued economic growth with 3 straight years of positive GDP numbers, matters none at all. 

But the only way none of those facts matter is if we adopt a complete lie and never question it.  That's what the GOP is Hoping.  It's their only chance at taking back the White House.  They tried the same thing in 2008.  They tried then to divert attention away from the facts by suggesting the fundamentals of our economy were strong; by never once mentioning George Bush.  Currently the media is letting the GOP get away with it this time.  For the sake of the country's survival, let's all Hope that changes.

One of the ways rank and file Republicans will try to explain away Romney's lies about the size and scope of the crisis Obama inherited not mattering at all is by saying all Romney is only merely saying that Obama hasn't done what he said he would do, which is rebuild America. 

But that's not what the Romney campaign is saying at all.  They are not saying that it's Obama's economy to fix, which would be a true statement.  What Romney is saying is a far cry from that.  They are saying it doesn't matter what situation he inherited, or the fact that things are better now, because Obama gets no credit for the job creation and the economic improvements.  That's exactly what Romney's campaign is saying.  Read it again cause it's plain as day:  “The fact that it [the economy] struggled through the last three years is not the fault of Barack Obama’s predecessor, it’s the fault of this administration and the failure of their policies to really get this economy going again,” he said.Fehrnstrom said that Obama “cannot take any credit for any success on the jobs front.” “None at all,” he added.

That's their only Hope.  The economy George Bush destroyed gets no blame.  The economic success of the last 3 years gets no credit.  It's Hope and Change Republican style.  Hope the media buys into their lies and then they can Change things back to the way they were when Bush was president.  Nobody wants that.  But if voters don't start paying attention that's what will happen.
