Krauthammer is correct. Obama did not run on the issue of the economy. Romney did. The public ignored Romney and chose Obama. Romney didn't embrace the Tea Party principles that lead to the shellacking that Obama recognized in 2010. If Romney had, we might be in a different position with a new president in 2013.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
