I agree, it’s not “preposterous,” it’s a fact.

(Politico) — President Barack Obama’s political guru David Axelrod on Sunday suggested that Mitt Romney wants the economy to falter to improve his odds in a potential general election tilt against Obama, and also accused the GOP presidential candidate of misrepresenting Obama’s economic record.

Responding to a question on ABC’s “This Week” from host George Stephanopoulos about Romney’s focus on high unemployment numbers during Obama’s presidency, Axelrod said “Governor Romney may be rooting for slips and falls here. We’re concentrating on moving this economy forward.”

Axelrod labeled as “preposterous” Romney’s assertions that Obama’s policies have worsened the recession, asserting Romney “has a lot of arguments, none of them are supported by facts.”
