Bill Kristol: ‘Obama team turned around’ Bush’s financial meltdown

Source: The Raw Story

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol says that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is going to have a tough time winning if the election is a referendum on President Barack Obama’s first term.

“They need to focus on the next four years,” the conservative columnist told Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday. “If this election is just about the last four years, that’s a muddy verdict.”

“Bush was president during the financial meltdown, the Obama team has turned that around pretty well,” he explained. “He’s got to make it a referendum on the choice about the next four years, and explain what Obama would do over the next four years that would be bad for the country and what he would do would be good for the country.”

Republiconomics for the 1% has already demonstrated repeatedly how to screw virtually all of the American people in order to further enrich the rich. We don't need no more steenkin Republican FAIL. For Gawd's sake.
