So Easy to Forget

Today in New Hampshire, Mitt Romney released a TV ad blaming Obama for all that ills the world. What isn't in the ad, for obvious reasons are things that I simply cannot forget. I cannot forget that the Republican Congress for six years funded two wars without budgeting for them, lowered taxes on the wealthiest Americans, didn't insure that legal regulations were followed, allowed Wall Street and banks to make bad loans through this neglect, encouraged policies leading to a crisis of confidence and loss in home values of up to 50 percent in many places, caused losses of 3 million jobs in the last year of the Bush Presidency, caused two consecutive quarters of negative growth thus defining and leading us to a real recession, caused a near collapse of the automobile industry in America along with bank losses in the hundreds of billions and the start of the dreaded (by Republican standards) bailouts. Current Republican candidates want you to forget that their party and its policies had any responsibility or culpability for the disaster they created. For me, it is not so easy to forget. For many Americans, regrettably it is. Where are you Americans for reason and truth? Next post...Obama's Thanksgiving.
