Liberals understand that Obama is not going to enact an economic policy by fiat; that something has to actually pass. But all this kowtowing to the need for a long term deficit fix has made the president look like he has been pre-rolled.
What was Rick Perry really getting at? It seems clear that he was warning Ben Bernanke not to improve the economy before November 2012 because it might help President Obama's re-election chances.
