Romney Caught in a Trap

Romney Caught in a Trap


Greg Sargent: "Mitt Romney might still win this election, but he's now stuck in a trap that will be difficult to escape. Americans are rejecting his argument that they should view their choice mostly as a referendum on Obama's economic performance, because they blame the sluggish recovery on the magnitude of the mess Obama inherited from George W. Bush, and believe things will get better in Obama's second term. That is putting pressure on Romney to be more specific about why his alternative, such as it is, would spark a faster recovery than is occurring under Obama."

"But Romney can't be too much more specific about that alternative, because it risks reminding voters of the degree to which his policies resemble those of the aforementioned George W. Bush, under whom the meltdown happened in the first place."

He can't talk about the economy because he's got nothing to say....can't wait for the first debate which is about....the economy.

Flip-Flopper isn't talking about Foreign Policy. His "foreign policy" speeches are just another warmed-over version of "That uppity Obama is a big failure and he hates America too".
