Letter: Obama leading change

As the economy continues to improve, what will, the Republican and tea party doom and gloom crowd do? Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is already badmouthing the good news about the economy. Why? Because Mitt's campaign has been all about turning the economy around and President Barack Obama beat him to the punch.

The economy is turning around: Hundreds of thousands of new jobs are being added monthly. Consumers have ramped up their spending. The housing market is inching forward. The unemployment rate has fallen for five months in a row and is now at 8.3 percent. Exports are up, high-tech research is on the rebound. The stock market is on an upward trend.

President Obama has improved the financial mess he inherited from the Republicans and is improving the economy and has people optimistic again. Do Americans really want to go back to the failed economic policies of the Republican Party?
