And then he said, with a straight face, "An Economy Built to Last."
Republicans think it's all about the bad economy. It is. But Barack Obama is going to do something his opposition wouldn't think possible.He's going to take ownership of the American economy. Not the real one, but the one he's just made up, "the economy built to last." It won't last long, but long enough. You'd think the best and the brightest would be beyond Mr. Obama's crude populist pitch. You of course would be wrong.... A speech that flopped among Washington's policy sophisticates is soaring out in the country. Republicans had better figure out why. --Henninger: Obama's Maddening, Winning Speech - WSJ.com

Your Say
FDR got away with it in 1936, why can't Bam in 2012? 1937 was the worst year of the Great Depression.
This is all nothing but FDR's old playbook oiled by Alinsky and re-interpreted by third generation red diaper babies. And if they lose, what have they lost? Nothing. Romney will be a caretaker President, and he will indeed better match the fit of the screws and threads of omnipotent government, until such time it is safe to return without restaint to the poisoned well of penumbras and eminations.

I read this piece in the paper today during lunch. It is one of those "bang your head against the wall" kind of articles.
We're about to learn just how gullible our fellow citizens are, and I fear we will not like the answer.
