Comments SNAFU; Wheels... Not Quite In Motion
— Ace

As you probably know, comments are down. I've contacted Pixy.

Update: But I think he's out or something. No response yet.

Here's Something: Brit Hume challenges Obama's narrative on the economy.

No, he didn't end the recession. The worst of the contraction was already over before he took office, and would stop contracting before his policies took effect.

But there hasn't been much growth since.

Hume notes that financial contractions usually lead to almost-as-sharp recoveries -- narrow V's, a deep drop down but an equally sharp bounce up.

But not under Obama's watch. Not this time.

And: Romney's straight-talk ad (the minute long one) is playing well with female swing voters.

Gotta be better than that China ad. I don't get that one. I understand it's designed to attract blue-collar voters. But even so, it seems weak to me. Very hypothetical, two many steps away from tangible proposals.

1 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

5 Romney needs to drop the whole China schtick, at least with respect to the Economics & trade crap. He's acting like he has to show his new frat brother Trump how much of a man he is. I'd love to see him come out and say he doesn't give a s**t what the Chinese do because first of all their in trouble themselves, and 2nd, in a Romney admin, American businesses will be enabled to start kicking some major league ass.

6 He needs to figure out a way to gracefully go on the attack vs Obamacare. There are some, like Larry Kudlow, who demand he run on the lowering tax rates. I'm all for this, but provided he promises to extend and not raise the current rates until a legit tax reform winds its way thru congress, this is just not the biggest issue right now, substantially or politically. Repealing Obamacare root & branch, repealing Dodd-Frank, & signing executive orders repealing every one of O's mile stack of new regs on energy, farm dust, labor unions, CFLPB, etc etc etc should be the heart of his program. Explaining how this will benefit Americans of all income levels is his task right now. Not too hard, really. That and cooly, skillfully, and unabashedly label O for what he is come Wednesday & beyond.

7 "No, he didn't end the recession." Yeah. He did. You're lying. Whether it was Obama or our productive economy, we're growing again. Factually, the recession is over.

Jordan, No. He. Didn't. True, the recession "officially" ended in the spring of 2009, before any of Obama's programs were enacted, but we have bumped along the bottom of the economic recovery trough for 44 months now, with no real improvement in sight. What is within sight, however, is the very real possiblility that the nation will be in economic recession again before the inaugural in January.

Well, at least that woman in Cleveland got her Obama phone. I hope her phone has been included in the economic "growth" numbers.

Of course, you have to account for the taxes I pay to give her a phone to the "debit" column, plus the transactional costs of delivering that phone to her, so I suspect the whole thing's a net loss, economically speaking.
