Add to that the seeming inability for any of the candidates to intelligently address the economy or unemployment. It's all boiler plates and ad hominem attacks. "Obama's policies are ruining the economy!" How? Why do these policies hurt the recovery? Be specific. WE'RE NOT STUPID.
Example: The unemployment rate has gone down recently,
but the total number of employed Americans has steadily decreased over the same time period. Why? Because the survey, yes unemployment is determined by a survey, the rate is based on only counts those that are currently looking for work. The fact is many have simply given up. To me, this is a greater indictment of our current economy and economy policies than the unemployment rate, but so far none of the candidates have been able to effectively express this SIMPLE fact.
That, and Romney also seems unable to make a case for himself as a candidate beyond boiler plates. Yes, he is Mr. Fixit, but I still don't understand what his vision for America looks like.
