Raising campaign cash in Republican territory, President Barack Obama on Friday hailed a rebounding economy and accused Republicans of banking on voters having "amnesia" about the steps that led to a brutal economic collapse.

"The recovery is accelerating. America is coming back," Obama told 600 supporters at a Texas fundraiser.

Bidding for re-election, Obama bounded between a rally-style event in a sprawling Rolls-Royce manufacturing plant south of Richmond, Va., to a pair of Houston fundraisers. Framing the trip: a new monthly jobs report showing employers 227,000 jobs in February, the latest sign that the economy is headed in the right direction.

America is coming back as a nation with no manned space program. A place with declining R&D and defense budgets, but exploding social service outlays by a government that now pays for abortions, contraceptives, most kids breakfasts and lunches in schools, where a “gender reassignment surgery” is a tax deduction. America is coming back alright, just with little semblance with what it was for the last 240 years.

With little semblance with what is was just 50 years ago.

New Republican campaign talking point:

Obama is out of touch.

The campaign ads write themselves with this idiot.

If Bammy’s toes descend and touch the earth for even a moment, he *should* notice that Greece has defaulted on its debt; investors are awake; and the jig is up. His days of borrowing anything of value in order to redistribute more of our assets are now few to none (as in, count ‘em on your thumbs). I wonder how long the stock market could keep up appearances if it started losing half its value every day. Things may not get quite that bad, but could get worse.

Even Romney will beat Obama.

No. He won’t. He will get his a$$ handed to him. Romney has to out spend Republicans 6 to 1 to beat them in the primaries. Romney won’t have that luxury in the general.

Obama will beat him like a rental car with damage insurance.

It’s so true it’s not even funny. Khrushchev is winning.

Mitt is an empty shell, he has no argument, no ammo, no knowledge of history current or otherwise. He will be eaten up by the deciever.

If America comes back, nobama and his minions will be in Leavenworth. nobama is such a liar.

The sad reality is that the economy (in many ways) is getting better. But it is not because of President Obama, it is because the Republican House has refused to pass any of his new "job creation" measures. As long as the government does nothing, things get marginally better (which the main-stream press is playing as HUGE improvements).

The bomb at the end of this is that AFTER the election, the Bush era tax-cuts come to an end, Defense gets slashed and Obamacare kicks in. But, by that time, President Obama hopes that he will be presiding over a USA of Europe.

It might be that Obama wants to be a one termer.. He sure has set a TON of time bombs for after the election. All his new taxes kick in and the Dems can blame Mitt (also a democrat, but labeled a republican)

Beat the hell out of the R’s in the mid term and get the white out back in 4 by blaming EVERYTHING they did on the republicans.

Bush’s fault comes to mind.

The republicans always seem ready, willing, and able to accept the blame so it’d likely work.
