The unreported story that upsets me the most!
Obamas campaign speeches regularly contain the claims that:
1.Bushs tax cuts and de-regulation caused the recession, 2.Obama stopped the second Great Depression, 3.His policies are working, 4.A very slow recovery was inevitable, and 5.No one could have done any better.

Actually, a community agitator in Chicago, named Obama, had worked to increase the number of these loans. Banks were threatened. Later, regulators for President Bush, made many attempts to rein in the insane lending practices, warning of the disaster ahead. They were rebuffed and even ridiculed by Democrats like Barney Frank. The party who now blames lack of regulation, actually fought the regulators.

I tweeted this to a couple Romney campaign people last week. I saw the original article and found it to be the best, most comprehensible piece demolishing the Obama reelection campaign on the economy I’ve ever seen. It was incredible.
This is basically just a recap piece of the original.
