@georgeob1,
I have criticized Obama for many things including some on your list, but applying the definition to this world recession doesn't make much sense. What we have are a world economy in contraction, and blaming Obama on his inability to "create jobs" belongs on the laffer curve.
The only time companies will expand their workers is when demand meets supply. As most of us know, many rich companies holding trillions in cash aren't spending their treasure; there's a reason for that. The economic future has too many negatives to begin spending money on workers and machinery.
When McConnell broadcast his goal to make Obama a one term president is what counts; not that Obama had the majority in both houses of congress during the first two years of his first term. There's a reason why the performance rating of congress is at historical lows.
Here again, how do you expect any president to perform when congress doesn't cooperate? As for promising a "speedy recovery," we really don't know what would have happened if congress was more cooperative.
Even with this handicap, the stock market is doing fine; it seems investors have confidence in US commerce.
The press can be fickle; that's been proven by history in this country.
The debate may be over, but more American are realizing that Romney is a liar and can't be trusted. He said that 47% are dependent on government for their health care, homes, food, and everything else. In the debate, Romney said he's for 100% of Americans.
Those lies will not stand, and his campaign just turned out worse - even with the media agreeing after fact checking everything he said during the debate.
Bye, bye, Romney.
