This canard that Obama and the Democratic Party are avoiding a discussion about the economy is

getting old quickly. Andrea Mitchell kept pounding Wasserman with this question even to the point of saying the President is avoiding real reporters by doing fluff shows and interviews. I know that Mitchell (Greenspan) is nothing more that a right wing shill and she proves it every day. She just interviewed a Romney adviser to follow up on the economy spin.
I think the response from Obama should be that the devastation of the economy is from outsourcing, Swiss bank accounts, firings, decimation of jobs through buy outs and Romney's life style and his tax returns are the proof that is being hidden. Not that he committed a felony or didn't pay taxes. The 1% have bought elections, subverted rights spent more money in other countries than in the USA. The very country that they live their rich lifestyles in. Romney's tax returns are the best example and evidence of how these crooks have taken us all to the proverbial cleaners.

because some of the "job creators" like Romney sent the jobs overseas then declined to pay their fair share of taxes.

Romney is emblematic of the problems created by that part of the 1%.
