From the transcript of the debate:
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, think about what the governor — think about what the governor just said. He said when I took office,
the price of gasoline was 1.80 (dollars), 1.86 (dollars). Why is that? Because the economy was on the verge of collapse;
because we were about to go through the worst recession since the Great Depression as a consequence of some
of the same policies that Governor Romney is now promoting. So it’s conceivable that Governor Romney could bring down
gas prices, because with his policies we might be back in that same mess. (Audience murmurs.)
Dude this guy is an idiot and so are his followers!
