Is 'incomplete' the new 'you didn't build that?'

He may have just put a foot in it.

When asked by a Colorado TV reporter how he would grade himself on dealing with the economy, President Barack Obama replied:

"You know, I would say 'incomplete.'"

 

Though there was a second half to the quote (there's always a second half), Republicans have seized on "incomplete" as a sign of the president's economic incompetence.

"After four years of declining incomes, fewer jobs, skyrocketing prices, and chronic unemployment, it's clear that Americans aren't better off. If President Obama can't even give himself a passing grade, why would the American people give him another four years?" Romney campaign spokesperson Amanda Henneberg said in a statement to Fox News.
