A good all-purpose response to your GOPer Facebook friends...

... when they complain about Obama's economic performance:

Gee, let's slash taxes for the rich, end Medicare and start a war with Iran (the key pillars of the Romney plan) and see if that helps. And, oh, we could also lay off tens of thousands more cops, teachers and firefighters in the name of "lowering unemployment." Yep, that would be smart.

Government employment has been going down. The private sector has been adding jobs. Taxes have gone down. Basically, Obama is giving you everything you want. Well, except he still isn't white.
