"We should be well into a robust economy by now..."

12. I agree with that statement.

I disagree with Romney's reasoning, though. More should have been done, and more would've been done if not for the Republican Party's unprecedented and incredibly cynical obstructionism. They decided it would be better to sit back and do nothing so that they'd have a better chance of winning in November. And we're all suffering because of it. They are keeping millions out of work so that they can get one guy out of a job. It's absurd.

Republicans have put forward absolutely nothing serious in an attempt to help the economy recover. Meanwhile, President Obama and Democrats have, only to have their efforts blocked by the GOTP because they put politics and party ahead of country.

Yet who's getting the blame in the MSM? Obama. How the fuck can anyone who's paying attention honestly say it's his fault things are moving slowly? If the American Jobs Act passed, around 1.3 million people would be employed, and the effects of that cannot be overstated. What have the Republicans put forward? Tax cuts for the rich? That'll do a lot. The only thing you can blame on Obama is about how misinformed Americans are about this recession. He didn't do a good job of explaining the depth and scope of the Great Recession. But he's done things that prevented the Great Depression 2.0 and has put forward ideas to put us into true recovery mode, unlike the GOP.

Fuck Romney, fuck Boehner, fuck McConnell, fuck Rove, fuck the Tea Party, and fuck the Republican Party. They're the ones holding this country back from a true recovery.
