It is ridiculous to imply that Obama has done nothing for six years other than to cut taxes for the benefit of rich offshore Republicans, refused to try to stimulate the economy according to Krugman's guidelines, and tried to implement what has essentially been described as NAFTA on steroids.

Granted, he left his magic wand somewhere on the campaign trail in 2008, but anyone who assumed he was Harry Potter was dreaming in the first place. Anyone who implies he's after Romney's agenda is yelling at Kilauea for their car overheating in Montpelier.

I think he's trying for some apricots with a few angry farmers yelling at him because his tree isn't growing fast enough. If we wanted Largo Caballero, we would have voted for someone like him (and lost).
