Romney: Elect Me Or House GOP Will Wreck The Economy
http://news.yahoo.com/romney-elect-house-gop-wreck-economy-192105183--politics.html
In what his campaign billed as his "closing argument," Mitt Romney warned Americans that a second term for President Obama would have apocalyptic consequences for the economy in part because his own party would force a debt ceiling disaster.
"Unless we change course, we may well be looking at another recession," Romney told a crowd in West Allis, Wisconsin.
Romney said that Obama "promised to be a post-partisan president, but he became the most partisan" and that his bitter relations with the House GOP could threaten the economy. As his chief example, he pointed to a crisis created entirely by his own party's choice -- Republican lawmakers' ongoing threat to reject a debt ceiling increase. Economists warn that a failure to pass such a measure would have immediate and catastrophic consequences for the recovery.
"You know that if the President is re-elected, he will still be unable to work with the people in Congress," Romney said. "He has ignored them, attacked them, blamed them. The debt ceiling will come up again, and shutdown and default will be threatened, chilling the economy."
Despite the apocalyptic warnings on the economy, most of the Republican nominee's speech focused on a more modest argument that as president he would work with both sides to build a stronger economy. He said that, like Obama, "I promise change, but I have a record of achieving it."
"I won't spend my effort trying to pass partisan legislation that's unrelated to economic growth," Romney said. "From day one, I will go to work to help Americans get back to work."
Romney's warnings of a second recession came the same day as an unexpectedly strong jobs report which, combined with other recent indicators, has many economists hopeful that the recovery may be gaining strength. Many current projections show the economy picking up steam in the near term regardless of who wins the presidency, leading to speculation on a looming battle over who deserves the credit.
With four days left, Romney may need an exceptionally strong close to overcome the president in the electoral college. The overwhelming majority of polls show Obama with a modest but stable lead in critical swing states, most notably Ohio, and other potentially decisive states like Virginia and Colorado remain tossups at best.

It's never been this BLATANT AND INTENTIONAL...
"And please, mrs p. You googled 'bills republicans have blocked' and every liberal web site pulls up the same list you gave. Those two items I wrote about were from 2010 and one of them passed as soon as Republicans were able to make some ammendments. And the other had flaws and even Dem strategists called it an election maneuver."
Correction, I actually got those links from when I tried looking for Mitch McConnell's speech on making Obama a 1 term President...So try again!...My point was YES the republicans blocked these for the sake of saying NO because that was and still is their intention... It's funny I never thought of CBS, national Journal, and Washington Post as a liberal media outlets. I guess all outlets that say anything negative or rather call out repubs on their shortcomings are ALL liberal"..Please to you SM, you my dear are in denial of your party and their intentions....If you watch Mitch McConnell's speech. He says it himself....

Okay, here's Mitch McConnell saying it, in plain English, believe it or not.

For some reason, I feel as if I am part of the "some" you mentioned regarding the obstruction and it being no big deal. I'm sure I've even conveyed that notion a time or two and will take another shot at it right now. As SM (I think) mentioned earlier, President Obama had a senate and congress ruled by the democrats for 2 years. Noticeably, some things got accomplished in those 2 years and some things got done in the second 2 years.
I'll contend that there are levels of obstruction in every Presidency. There are too many personal agendas and too many party agendas to not have it that way. Bush had it, Clinton had it.... not everybody is on board with the President or his party every bill. It just doesn't happen that way.
Both parties through time have shown their pigheadedness from time to time, and a lot of that has been in accord to their party line affiliation. (During the first 2 years, Pelosi saying, in regards of the health care bill..."You'll have to vote for it to see what's in it"...) It doesn't get any more blatant and pigheaded as that.
It's politics and it's part of the game. It's both sides and it is at will.

BTW: When we say 'the Republicans" we are not referring to everyone who votes Republican.
At least I know I'm referring to the ones in DC who have made it their goal to make Obama a one term president.
It's not what I think you did, you're not a politician.

Okay, so you're saying you don't believe what Mitch McConnell said ?
McConnell has never claimed he didn't' say it. It's right there in black and white and was all over the news~ not from some liberal blog.
Hard for me to understand. There's things that people I like do that I don't like but if they do them I can't say I don't believe it.
Sorry, I just don't understand.
Please read the following and tell me why you don't believe it's true.

McConnell-GOP Goal-Get Rid of Obama
It was never about job creation, the economy, helping the environment, creating stability in the financial markets or making sure Wall Street never melts down again in the November mid-term elections. It was never about budgets, controlling the debt or paying off our deficits – it was all about Making Obama a One Term President.
