(Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Sunday he expects to be judged in the 2012 election over his governance of the American economy, which he said was still not growing fast enough.
"For me to argue, look, we've actually made the right decisions, things would have been much worse has we not made those decisions -- that's not that satisfying if you don't have a job right now," Obama told CBS in an interview taped last week and aired during his annual vacation in Martha's Vineyard, an island near Boston.

Obama is expected to spend much of his nine-day vacation working on a program meant to jump-start the economy golfing and eating steak and lobster at taxpayer's expense.There, fixed it.

But I thought Congress,especially the Republicans, were responsible for a bad economy and anything else Obama could think of?

Martha's Vineyard, an island near Boston. First time I've ever heard the Vineyard characterized in this manner! (My first trip to Nantucket, another "island near Boston," was in 1955.)

I wonder how many people remember how much our economy grew after WWI and WWII? Right now, we are about ! 1/2% and some are looking at 5%. What percentage rate was it after the wars? If memory serves me right it was 100%. We can do it again if we and Congress have the will......regardless of what the WH wants.

Wonder if any one in the Journ-o-list community will ask the 0 to explain the contradiction between the Present-idents rhetoric and his administration actions?

Well, how are the “looters” and “takers” going to respond to this very question?
And they represent a _growing_ portion of the voting and general population....
Just sayin’...

Sound like the same specious argument "Look how many jobs I saved".
