[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not so sure about your characterization of Romney as knowing how to turn the economy around.  He has a radically different view on this than Obama.  It really depends on your theory of how government works.  Romney claims he wants to lower taxes, cut programs, reduce regulations that costs small business owners money that they could spend on hiring, etc.  Obama basically says he wants to do those things too but in a reasonable and balanced way so that we safeguard the most vulnerable, ensure that we are making long term investments that will pay off down the road, safeguarding the environment, etc.

I agree that Obama has been disappointing in many ways and has not shown great ability to forge consenses, but as you say the Republicans in Congress have made that damn near impossible.  I fear, though, voucherizing Medicare, taking apart the health care reform bill, removing regulations on the financial industry, etc.  I think you need to think about what policies you support, not just whether one man or the other seems to have better leadership skills.  Even if Romney had great leadership skills (which I don't actually think he does, although I did think he did well at the debate) he carries with him a set of policies that you need to think about.

I get what your saying. The problem is the Obama's plan will not make it to the light of day unless more Democrats are elcted into Congress. We'll be stuck in the same economic quagmire we've been in.
I don't love Romney's plan, but I don't think it's the embodiment of evil. PBS will survive without federal dollars. I don't think he'll be able to repeal Obamacare. 
So, do we move forward with a plan that many of us don't exactly love, but will get the economy going, or do we play four more years of block and blame?[/quote]
