Mitt Romney: REALLLLLY confused by what a US President does

Sure this is all fresh-off-the-press, cite the party line double speak, but it is kind of sad to see a man who stands the best chance of coming in second in the presidential election put asshole, meaningless punditry in front of common sense and an actual knowledge of policy making and the Constitution:

He gets full credit or blame for what's happened in this economy, and what's happened to gasoline prices under his watch, and what's happened to our schools, and what's happened to our military forces...All these things are his responsibility while he's president.

from Romney urges GOP to look to campaign against Obama

Note. He's not just saying that Obama has a hand in this. He has full "credit or blame". Fascinating. "Full blame for the economy?" Really? "...what's happeend to our schools?" What's that then?

What's your take? Is he stupid? Politically challenged? Or just being a politico? Just vomiting out words because it made the [presumably old, white] faces in the crowd clap and nod? What's more, let's see what sort of implicit campaign promises Romney is making. If you elect him in 2012, he will:

Change the nature of market forces to make gas prices come down despite demand increasing! Sure China is going ot need as much or more gas than the US within the next decade and peak oil may or may not happen but if it does likely is no more than about 40 years off, but that's no reason to expect a profit!
Overthrow the Department of Education and increase presidential powers so he can dictate educational policies to the states! And presumably use his magic powers to fix the student loan issues!
Toss out Republican-lead budget committees and demand his own master budget be set forth (with extra money for $10,000 bets made against leaders of other countries)! Don't worry, he'll fix it!
Do something with the military forces. Probably he means he will first pound his fist on a podium while making faces and then sidestep Congress to send war-tired troops to die in Iran so we can finally get back to what's important, making them feel safe from being potentially sent to die in Iran.

[My take is that he doesn't believe any of this is the presidential responsibility, he just says the same meaningless rhetoric that everyone says to try and get elected, so he can spend the rest of his days explaining how the things above were never his own responsiblity, and it was all Obama's fault anyhow.]
