They both make stuff up because they aren't really that far apart. It's like two Japanese girls arguing over who's hair is straighter and blacker.
But I specifically said "ACCURATE" in my post. There is plenty of accurate ammo for them to use. The economy is horrible and might be headed for negative GDP again. Wages are down while buying power is actually decreasing. Unemployment is very high still regardless of which measurement is used. The list goes on and on; it is the nature of being the president that you "get" to take credit for all of this regardless of who caused it. Obama recognized and admitted this when he first took office. Obviously he wishes he could take those comments back now, but it doesn't make them any less realistic.
The point is, that with only one month left, they hit Obama really hard on the increasing national debt and how close we are to hitting the debt levels of Greece that caused their collapse. If they do it with three months left, then Obama can rebut and logically show that most of the spending programs were in place before him. He can try to use it to argue that we should increase taxes. He can show what steps he will do in his second term to try to reverse it. And he has the time to show that Romney doesn't have a better plan. But with only one month left, he'd have a really hard time with that, especially since every response would likely be preceded by a preeminent attack.
Did you ever watch "8 mile" with Eminem? His last battle he uses the exact tactic I'm talking about. Cripple the opponent by teasing them about the weak response you know you are going to get, then blast them on the truth of their own record. If they try to rebut, they look like fools because you already predicted their response. And in the short time allotted there is no realistic way for them to come back at you.
It doesn't take any time to throw out a simple attack, but it takes a lot longer to launch the public awareness campaign to educate the public on a somewhat complex topic that they really don't want to learn about.
you cant hit obama on the debt because thinking people know its the republicans who are mostly responsible and obama has offered a balanced approach to do something about it many times but the republicans refuse to budge unless the rich get more tax breaks.
