Jesus Christ. Did I just watch Maddow and see Mitt Romney saying to Laura Ingraham that the economy is getting better? Why
yes I did:
Ingraham pointed out that the President and Treasury Secretary have said the economy is getting better, with more job being created on a monthly basis. Romney himself, she added, has said there are signs improvement on the horizon. So, “how do you answer the President’s argument that the economy is getting better in a general election campaign if you yourself are saying that it’s getting better?”
“Well, of course it’s getting better,” said Romney. “The economy always gets better after a recession.” The question, he continued, is whether it’s getting better because of something the President has done, or whether he’s delaying that inevitable recovery. You can guess which side of the fence Romney falls on.
“Isn’t that a hard argument to make?” asked Ingraham.
Romney didn’t flinch: “Do you have a better one, Laura?”
Amazing. He's totally collapsing. He's falling apart. He's just written the Obama ad for the rest of the year. "Mitt Romney says the economy is getting better!"
I always knew Romney was an awful politician, but now we see just how bad.
