Obama: If I Were in Romney’s Shoes, ‘I Would Be Making the Same Argument’ About the Economy

Obama Romney same argument economy

Image source: CBS News

President Barack Obama said you won‘t hear him complaining about rival Mitt Romney’s bashing his handling of the economy, because if he were in Romney’s place, he’d be “making the same argument.”

In an interview broadcast Sunday morning on CBS, Obama agreed that the economy is nowhere near the level of recovery it should be.

(Related: Robert Gibbs Admits: ‘We’re Not Growing Fast Enough and We‘re Not Adding Enough Jobs’)

CBS’ Charlie Rose said that with unemployment at 8.2 percent, the ineffectiveness of the stimulus and Obama’s overall management of the economy, “yes it was a bad hand you were dealt, but you have not made it to what it ought to be — that is the centrality of their campaign.”

“Exactly, that is his argument, and you don’t hear me complaining about him making that argument, because if I was in his shoes I would be making the same argument,” Obama said.

(Related: President Obama to CBS: The Biggest Mistake of My First Term Was Not Explaining How Good My Policies Are)

Obama said it was still “important to know we did an awful lot in the first four years” and another term would ensure those policies to make the middle class “strong and growing” continue.

“The question right now for the American people is, which vision – mine or Mr. Romney’s – is most likely to deliver for those folks?” he said.

      OBAMA, THE NARCICIST:
      The word “narcicist” refers to someone that loathes others, considering him/herself superior to all including his friends and even his spouse. The word “narcicist” comes from Narcis, a Greek mythological character. Narcis was a vey good looking young man. Many women had fallen in love with him, but he was too proud and vane and he would reject all of them. One of the rejected women was the ninfa Eco. Eco was hurt and locked herself up in her room without food or water. That is how she slowly consumed herself with pain, until she vanished and all that remained was her voice, which repeateded itself against the walls of the room. Thus the word “echo.” The goddess Nemesis (the goddess of vengeance) heard Eco’s prayers and decided to punish Narcis so he would suffer in the same way as she did. One day Narcis went to drink water from the river. As he stooped down to drink he saw his own face reflected in the water. Nemesis used her powers so that Narcis would fall madly in love with that image. Narcis could not stop looking at himself. He wanted to touch his image and hug it, but he couldn’t because it would disappear in the water. He also could not see it since the waves of the river would not let him. He could not go away since the image would disappear. That is how he stayed trying to admire himself until he died of starvation.

      WHAT GOES AROUND ***WILL*** COME AROUND. Obama is a doomed man in ALL ways.

I don’t, but there is Acorn, Davis, Wright, Kenya and a ton of incompetent moves since he became president. Does Romney have a champagne manager at all?

      A decent president with some common sense and more knowledge would have cleaned up “the mess” from the infamous Geo. Bush within the first year. If only he had chosen TRUE Americans for his cabinet and advisers who might have pushed him the the right direction, (instead of where we’ve gone)
      But wait: he chose socialists, ultra-liberals and I honestly believe he was using a bad economy to Gut America so he could re-build us for his plan of being a dictator.

      Oh, HE IS CLEVER! However, EVIL ALWAYS makes a mistake(s). In Obama’s case, HE HAS MADE MANY OF THEM, believing and thinking that ONLY HE KNOWS what they are and He also believes that it has nothing to do with what he, the NARCISSIST, believes about how he is running the country. DON’T FORGET that Obama was raised BELIEVING that MARXISM is GOOD, so he believes the propaganda and lies and is doing everything he can to fulfill them, AGAINST the U.S, Constitution.

      IT WILL BE HIS UNDOING because I believe, AMERICA ***IS*** GOOD. America is a REPUBLIC and not a Democracy. AMERICA HAS AWAKENED and WILL root out the evils in and coming our way.

      If the U.N, with Obama’s Presidential approval (bypassing Congress) outlaws our guns, THERE WILL BE A REVOLUTION OF ALL GUN OWNERS. They will be the very people who will restore our Republic.

      OBAMA AND YOUR MINIONS: Be very, very, careful with what you do with gun owners’ rights. YOU MAY BE DOOMING YOURSELF TO OBLIVION. You will not and CANNOT take our guns OR you WILL BE VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY SORRY. THAT IS A GUARANTEE, A PROMISE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.

      American gun owners and enthusiasts WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU, OBAMA, OR THE U.N. to take our guns – NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.

      So, IF you are re-elected and you sign that U.N. treaty to ban ALL guns in the USA, YOU HAD BETTER HIDE. YOUR PEOPLE HAD BETTER HIDE BECAUSE WE WILL COME FOR YOU, FIRST.

YOU GET EVEN OR YOU RETALIATE IN SOME WAY. I think Obama’s first step, if he gets re-elected, is to BAN OUR GUNS, using the U.N. forces to help him collect them all.

      So, I suggest that if you all have guns, hide at least 1 or 2 of them and PLENTY OF AMMO. It IS coming.

      AOL should have never shown photos of people wearing Mormon undergarments. There’s nothing wrong with wearing modest undergarments, but people are trying to make Mormons appear weird, for doing so.

      Why doesn’t AOL run a story about Muslim men wearing towels on their heads, and Muslim women covered head to toe, in a sheet?

      I have no problem voting for the Mormon, in November.
      I want to see the Muslim-In-Chief, removed from office.

    That FORWARD sign jumped right out at me again. Yeah, we’ve heard the left ridicule the right for pointing out that it has been the slogan of so many of the Communist, Socialist movements world wide. They say that they merely mean that Forward is the way they are looking these days and we are not tied to the previous use of the slogan, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Don’t you just love the new BSNBC slogan, Lean Forward….This Won’t Hurt Much!

      It’s still hard to look forward through the looking glass of an ideology that has debased humanity as much as Marxism.

      I think maybe it’s forward in the Buddhist sense of “Up is down, left is right.”

    Why isn’t he explaining how good his policies are right now ?

    It’s interesting that no one asked how much of his “stimulus” went off shore!! Recent news reports indicate as much as 80% of the stimulus funds ended up going to foreign owned companies. Nice, real nice. We CANNOT allow this to continue. “IF” there is another term for the big zero, there will be NO middle class left! Just his rich buds and the rest of us who have to pay his bills. Thats not the America I know and love.

    Obama said it was still “important to know we did an awful lot in the first four years” Oh we know it all right Barry. We also know none of it helped, it actualy hurt. Why should you get four more years to try and get a clue on how the American economy works?

      the other thing that I don’t understansd is WHY are the Romney people allowing Obama to define him.. if Romney waits and waits to shoot back it will be to frickin late the definition of who Romney “is” has been set.

      LWILLIS59, While I’ve wondered the same thing, the Romney camp is very likely trying not to over spend from their war chest at the moment. Sure, they have had some good gains in donations lately. But, 0bama can step in front of any news camera virtually making a free campaign ad any time he wishes. I am hoping for a big push starting some time next month. Expect the fight to get really nasty between September and November.

      Obama is once again rewriting history; and now I can see him taking up a new war cry as the campaign continues forward, hopefully to see Obama going off a cliff:

      “Blame Bush, Blame Romney.”

      That will be Obama’s new theme.
