For the second time; No. The GSA was seriously messed up under George W. Bush, and it got worse in 2008-2010 without a permanent Administrator (I don’t blame Obama for that, as it wasn’t a high-priority nomination and so had to wait till after his health care bill passed). My argument is not that Barak Obama caused the GSA to be dysfunctional, my argument is that the GSA is dysfunctional and Mitt Romney is the man to fix it. Blame assignment is not part of the argument.

I didn’t read what you said the first time. Don’t get all huffy!/

Is it possible Obama didn’t appoint anyone because he was blocked? I think the GOP did a little of that over the past 3 years.

My point is that the GSA is unknown to most voters. Your argument makes sense for the economy as a whole in terms of Romney’s message—indeed, it’s his strongest message and really his only one other than Obama hates America, which I assume we’ll hear a little less of directly from him, now that he’s courting moderates and indies. But talk of the GSA specifically is really just for wonks.
