... which I'm not (and never, ever want to be) ... I would be harping on this recovery summer horsesqueeze like you wouldn't believe. The latest Gallup polls show that more Americans rate the economy "poor" and say it is "getting worse." Juxtapose this with Joe Biden's boastful "Recovery Summer" tour and you have a pretty sour electorate.

Finally, someone has stepped up to the plate to challenge the Obama economy. That person is House Minority Leader John Boehner. It is about darn time. Boehner called on Obama to veto any bill that will harm job growth, and that includes card check and cap-and-trade. He also called on Democrats to stop obstructing Republicans' attempts to repeal ObamaCare's '1099 mandate.' He says, "We've tried 19 months of government-as-community organizer. It hasn't worked. Our fresh start needs to begin now." Then he called for the resignation of Obama's economic team.

Joe Biden was the one to comment on Boehner's speech. First he referred to the possibility of maintaining the Bush tax cuts as "a Wall Street tax cut, not a Main Street tax cut." Now remember ... as I pointed out before ... the Congressional Budget Office points out that when Obama and Biden get their tax increase it will directly affect 50% of the income of the small business job creating machine. This Bidencalls a "Wall Street Tax Cut."

Biden also used this line about returning to the Bush years: "Mr. Boehner is nostalgic for those good old days, but the American people are not. They don't want to go back. They want to move forward ..." He claims that right now, we are "moving in the right direction." Remember, "moving forward" according to the Obama administration means moving toward a centrally planned economy. Got it? That's where Joe Biden thinks that you want to go!

The good old days? You mean the good old days when home values were increasing? The good old days when unemployment was at 5.5%? The good old days when we could have some confidence that our children might be able to work for a better standard of living than we enjoyed? THOSE good old days? Yeah .. that would really suck.
