Mr. Romney constantly talks about job losses under Mr. Obama. Yet all of the net job loss took place in the first few months of 2009, that is, before any of the new administration’s policies had time to take effect. —- Basically, the G.O.P. has blocked the administration’s efforts to the maximum extent possible, then turned around and blamed the administration for not doing enough.
Dr. Krugman points out that the Romney campaign is hoping for voter amnesia when it comes to Romney’s statements about things done by the Obama administration. Dr. Krugman is more polite then me, as I would call lies of the Romney campaign.
