With a tip of the hat to Paul Krugman, and leaving out the fairly obvious one of praising Romneycare while bashing the Affordable Care Act…

March:

Barack Obama’s budget wastes money with crazy space fantasies that only Newt Gingrich could love. Remember: Obama was president when the US lost manned spaceflight capability.

June:

Obama foreign policy is one retreat and surrender after another, and when will he answer one question for the American people: when are the troops coming home?

August:

This summer’s record heat and drought? It’s on Barack Obama’s watch that the entirely fictional, fraudulent problem of global warming has become so bad. 

September:

The Obama record: endangering America with oil spills in the Gulf. Also: endangering American by preventing drilling in the Gulf.

And of course, October and all year:

Barack Obama should immediately balance the budget while cutting taxes without touching any of our crucial government programs. And slashing spending.
