Unfortunately, these numbers cannot hide the fact that President Obama’s policies have prevented a true economic recovery.</i><br /><br />I'm sorry, there is nothing incoherent about stating that job creation is good but would have been better if not for Obama's policies. I disagree with it, but it's a logically sound, coherent argument.<br /><br />Sargent's derision is kind of like saying that "the stimulus worked" is incoherent because the economy is still suffering. Well, <i>of course</i> it's possible that the stimulus worked because it prevented the economy from being even worse.<br /><br />Out of all of Romney's statements in the past two months, this might be the most coherent thing he's said!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913245096162048743noreply@blogger.com
