WaPo - Four More Years
 We come to that judgment with eyes open to the disappointments of Mr. Obama's time in office. He did not end, as he promised he would, "our chronic avoidance of tough decisions" on fiscal matters. But Mr. Obama is committed to the only approach that can succeed: a balance of entitlement reform and revenue increases.
Kool-Aid, anyone?
| What entitlement reform? The only thing I noticed was $716 billion taken from Medicare. |
| He's not dedicated to entitlement reform. Revenue increases, now those he's dedicated to... |
Mr. Romney, by contrast, has embraced his party's reality-defying ideology that taxes can always go down but may never go up. Along that road lies a future in which interest payments crowd out everything else a government should do, from defending the nation to caring for its poor and sick to investing in its children. Mr. Romney's future also is one in which an ever-greater share of the nation's wealth resides with the nation's wealthy, at a time when inequality already is growing.
The front page this morning looks bad for the incumbent, but the editorial page is pounding the Obama drum.
