The general public is typically very simple minded when it comes to the economy. The president gets the credit or the blame on the economy regardless of whether he was a factor. Given how bad the economy is, it really does show how weak Romney is for him to still be trailing Obama.[/quote]
OCR: I think you can amplify your comment to read that the average American is very simple minded when it comes to pretty much everything as of late.
Maybe a nice war with Iran will perk everybody up. We’re Americans, we like war. Plus, it’s good for the economy. I think you’d actually see Krugman and the GOP agree on that one!
