Well, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney would say that. Though on reflection, Republican policies that led to the worst recession in modern America -- and which Obama was saddled with for his entire term -- were not exactly working well either.

This election will essentially come down to a contest between voters who can actually remember how badly Republicans screwed the country and those who literally can't remember and seem to think that the economy's malaise all started when the Democrats took the White House.
