Bruce Bartlett does a wonderful job showing how badly Republicans blew up the budget during the Bush years. Obama seems pretty happy to continue these disastrous policies.
David Frum has summed up the Presidential election nicely:
The Democratic message is shaping up as: "The Republicans/the Fed/the Europeans wrecked the recovery, and we weren't smart enough or tough enough to stop them. Vote us."
The Republican message: "Obama could not fix the mess we made. Vote us."
