Gibbs: Romney’s Message Is ‘You Didn’t Clean Up Our Mess Fast Enough’
Top Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs said on Meet the Press Sunday that the “biggest idea” of Obama’s reelection campaign would be a message of continuing “moving in the right direction of fixing this economy.”
“We know this about Mitt Romney,” Gibbs said, “he’s not a job creator. When he was governor of Massachusetts, they were 47th out of 50 in job creation. His experiences in downsizing and outsourcing jobs and bankrupting companies and walking away with a lot of money for himself. His economic ideas are the failed economic ideas that we tried for eight years.”
Gibbs responded to another question about women voters and the economy, saying, “David, their message is: You didn’t clean up our mess fast enough.”

The Obama administration hasn't cleaned up anyone's mess; it's ADDED to that mess.
It was the administration that said unemployment wouldn't exceed 8% if the stimulus was passed. It's been over 8% for nearly ALL of Obama's presidency.
It was Obama who said he'd cut the deficit in half. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
It was Obama who said, that he'd turn the economy around in three years or he'd be a one-term president. Those words may ring true come November.
It was Obama and his minions who said he'd run the most ethical and transparent administration in history. We got scandals out the wazoo.
And, to show how well Obama and crew were at cleaning up the mess, the Democrats got the lips slapped off their faces in 2010, suffering a defeat that Obama himself described as a "shellacking".
But, let the liberals keep thinking the "Blame Bush! We inherited this mess" mantra will work this time around.
