The thing is, he's mostly right. There are some extreme things a President can do to make an economy crash. But barring that, the President has about as much effect on the economy as pissing on a forest fire.

I imagine "I am going to compel you to buy insurance for your employees even though your margins won't support it" may have had a bit of a chilling effect on hiring.
The government stopped granter waivers for Obamacare after it crossed 1400 companies.

Nope. I don't think it was. The wars didn't help, but they were minor compared to the housing bubble and other factors not related to the Presidency.
Oh, and the flip side of that is Clinton didn't cause the boom he takes credit for, either. He was just in office at the right time.
But people want easy answers. They want to be able to point to one guy and say "he did it."

Romney picks up key MEM endorsements.
I did a quick Google search this morning and this is the first article I found on the subject.
The fact that these left leaning papers are endorsing Romney is interesting, but the big one is The Tennessean because that's apparently "Al Gore's paper".

The system has produced not a demagogue but a manager, a candidate whose experience is rooted in the pragmatism of the business world rather than the ideology of partisan politics.
No, it hasn't. Not in many years.

No way this is real...
Sadly, while that video seems fake, I could easily see it being true.
