(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.

Why should he be judged over a disaster that Bush caused and the Tea Party won’t let him fix?

He will lose because his true character has been revealed.

His lack of trustworthiness is not welcome on the left, his pretentiousness, narcissism, and his juvenile vindictiveness is reviled by the right, and his inability to accept responsibility for anything that has gone wrong makes everyone else wonder what the hell they were thinking.

"I understand that and I expect to be judged a year from now on whether or not things have continued to get better," he said.

As usual, the topic is once again all about him. The Narcissist-in-Chief.

...things would have been much worse has we not made those decisions ...

How?

No ZerOcare?

Even McLame would not have added over $4 trillion to the debt.

No pie in the sky energy policy.

This guy is so delusional, he cannot feel himself stepping on his d!ck with his golf shoes.

Sorry, Obama is already being judged NOW over the economy. And as such, he won't win a second term as President--sorry!

...and it is not just that the economy was bad under Obama’s watch. Obama took specific and measurable actions that hurt the economy - namely

- ramming ObamaCare down our throats
- closing down the Gulf to drilling
- unprecedented deficit spending
- refusing to lower taxes
- fostering chaos in the middle east and turning on Israel
- acting like socialist schmuck
... the list goes on and on.

"For me to argue, look, we've actually made the right decisions, things would have been much worse has we not made those decisions --

He always says this. How can anybody calculate things would have been worse had trillions not been spent and his economic policies had not been implemented?

He's wrong of course.
