Blame Congress for the slump in employment? Of course, blame Congress.

4. if Obama says that, then he is promising that the economy will NEVER get better

because we all know the GOP will NEVER stop obstructing him. He is saying, "I am powerless".

Romney is promising to improve the economy. He is lying. He does not care about jobs, he cares about profits and he will enact policies that will help rich people at the expense of working people. But that's a judgement call and not everyone will see it the way I see it. I think a ton of people if it is a choice between "I will create jobs" and "I can't create jobs because the GOP is blocking me" they are going to go with Romney.

But Obama is not blaming Congress. He in his statement today takes ownership for the economy the way a president should. He is saying my policies are working and we need to stick with them. He does say that he needs the Congress to do certain things but he doesn't blame them.
