Shuffling the deck on you:

Obama pretty much has blown his load when it comes to turning the recession around. Who knows, maybe it will be enough but whatever he does next will be more of the same.

But that status quo is not so bad:

I think the economy has been gaining momentum for awhile now. Housing prices are going up and construction jobs are coming back. The unemployment rate is hovering but the number of jobs added is going up, albeit slowly. Consumer confidence is rising.

I don't think that's taking you out of context, so much as it is connecting the dots. What we have in Obama is a moderate Republican pursuing Clintonian "the era of big government is over" centrist policies.

If Romney was lying during the primary, then he's actually a moderate Republican too. Obama in whiteface, which may drum up a crucial few percentage points on Tuesday. (A "few percentage points" isn't a blanket indictment, it's just a factual observation that a few million Americans find themselves uncomfortable with a black President, and in a close election, their prejudices and fears might tip the balance.)

Doesn't sound like you think Romney was lying during the general election. I know the conventional wisdom about pivoting after the convention, but are you really sure that Romney can just shake the etch-a-sketch and make the tea partiers and all the social conservatives go away, after a primary as bitter as this one was? The very fact that Romney pandered so cravenly to the most extreme elements of the right doesn't bode well for the hope that he'll stand up to them after the election. Standing up doesn't seem to be one of Romney's skills as a "business leader".

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be feeling good about hoping I'd guessed correctly about when my candidate lied.

Me, I'm going to write in "Barramitter Obamney". Cause the other guy still sucks.
