During the 2012 presidential campaign:
Romney promised to get unemployment down to 6% by 2016. Obama won and unemployment is 5.8% in 2014.
Gingrich promised $2.50 gas. Obama won, and the national average gas price today is $2.38.
Pawlenty promised giving tax breaks to the wealthy would boost GDP growth to 5%. Obama raised taxes on the wealthy and today GDP is growing at a 5% clip.
Don’t you think Republicans should give President Obama credit for meeting or exceeding their own stated economic goals? What do you think the chances are they will?
