The Romney campaign is continuing its message of praising former President Bill Clinton, in order to castigate President Obama, going into Clinton’s speech Wednesday for Obama at the Democratic National Convention. Former Gov. John Sununu writes a new guest op-ed piece in the New Hampshire Union Leader, telling voters not to be “fooled.”
President Clinton’s keynote address in Charlotte today will serve to remind the world of a time when the leadership of the Democratic Party took fiscal responsibility seriously. It might even induce nostalgia for the days of balanced budgets and bipartisan accomplishments such as welfare reform.
Unfortunately, that record has nothing in common with President Obama’s record of failure during the last three-and-a-half years. In ushering in new levels of fiscal recklessness, President Obama doesn’t simply depart from the Clinton legacy — he shatters it with a sledgehammer and runs over it with a steamroller.
