New strategy uses mirrors to deflect charges back on Obama opponents.
Obama advisor David Axelrod claims Repubs are trying to intentionally destroy the economy.
Seems Obama owns that charge of destroying the economy to build it up in the image of some flavor of socialism. We have proof Obama is trying to destroy the economy.

When every action the Republicans take is to scuttle Obama's efforts to improve the economy, such as the Jobs bill, in favor of policies that favor the rich, such as flat-taxes and lowering upper-income tax-rates, no objective person could come to a different conclusion other than the GOP wants a poor economy because it helps them politically.
But, at some point, their obstruction has them owning the poor economy.
You can put away the 'Socialism' rant. If your perception of Socialism is raising the taxes of wealthy people a few percent, you have no idea what Socialism is. Moreover, every objective indicator is that Obama is firmly a centrist.
the deficit was at 4 trillion when Bush left office...it is now 14 trillion.
It seems you either don't know the difference between the debt and deficits or you are saying that Bush's annual deficits were $4 trillion, which is not complementary.
In any case, the debt under Bush was more like $10-11 trillion.
The fact is that the only President in the history of our country to balance the budget was Andrew Jackson, who vehemently opposed The Central Banking System, or the privately owned Federal Reserve as we have today.
Any Presidential candidate not talking about auditing and/or ending The Federal Reserve will not be able to bring the deficit down and will not be able to fix the economy. A nation without debt is a powerful and prosperous one. The International owners of The Fed know this all too well-too bad the American public doesn't.

1) Clinton balanced the budget.
2) Andrew Jackson was President in what, 1832?
3) This whole attack on the Fed is mindless. From Brad DeLong:
You'd be surprised to see how often history repeats itself. The attack on The Fed is not mindless. This is the longest period America has ever gone without revolting against a central bank-we are going on 100 years with 2013 coming soon.
Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!
What's the Democrat solution to this problem besides blame Bush???
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 25 Oct 2011 at 05:39:22 PM GMT is:
The estimated population of the United States is 311,551,530
so each citizen's share of this debt is $48,000.08.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $4.00 billion per day since September 28, 2007!
This is dishonest. A lot of the debt is due to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other government spending, hence not a result of individual citizens being in debt.
