President Obama is an old-school liberal whose first instinct is to see free enterprise as the villain and government as the hero

MITT ROMNEY: President Obama is an old-school liberal whose first
instinct is to see free enterprise as the villain and government as
the hero. America counted on President Obama to rescue the economy, to
tame the deficit and help create jobs. Instead, he bailed out the
public sector, gave billions of your dollars to companies of his
friends, and added almost as much debt to this country as all the
prior presidents combined. The consequence is that we are now enduring
the most tepid recovery in modern history.

AMY GOODMAN: Your response to Mitt Romney, Paul Krugman?

PAUL KRUGMAN: Boy, you know, don't even know where to start. I mean,
Romney's technique is that—since basically every word he says is a
lie, including "a," "and" and "the," you never know where to start.
But this is—the idea that the—first of all, that Obama is responsible
for the large deficits is just not true. It's overwhelmingly the
result of the Bush tax cuts, unfunded wars and a terrible economic
crisis that began, of course, under Bush. The idea that the deficits
are what's holding us back is all wrong. The deficits are in fact
what's keeping us afloat. If we had tried to balance the budget, we
would now be in a full, full-on replay of the Great Depression. So
it's all nonsense. It's—and, by the way, the idea of Obama as somebody
who governs from the left, I mean, Obama is—Obama's positions are
those of a moderate Republican circa 1992. It's not—he's not a
leftist. What's happening now is you have a radical-right Republic
Party.
