Two Charts That Should Terrify Republicans

If Republicans seem spooked to you these days, here’s why.

President Obama’s political comeback over the past several months aligns neatly with when he began more aggressively attacking the GOP and politicking for economic growth and equality back in September.

But over that same stretch, the economy began moving in the right direction. Indicators of economic growth started moving upward, and the eye-popping indications of economic weakness started moving downward. That’s surely had an effect. And if the trends continue, it augurs very well for Obama in the general election.





Just a quick note that the 2009 spike in new auto sales is attributable to the Cash for Clunkers program, enacted by Democrats when they controlled both houses of Congress.

1. They should be spooked. But they will also calim too little, weak, anemic etc. etc.

At the same time they will try to squash any legislation or programs that will stimulate the economy = ie; killing cash for clunkers, cutting extended unemployment benefits,

But it is good to see that despite their efforts the economy is starting to breath a little. Think of what it might be doing if the jackass republics/teaparties/liebertaries were aligned with and openly helping the economy recover.

2. I don't have it but another one that should scare them

is the charts showing how the overall voting numbers in the republican primaries is down in most states.

5. I love how "terrify Republicans" is a synonym for....

"good news for people who want their country to prosper."

6. The Obama campaign should create a nice glossy of this and mail it to every voter in America.

That would be a good use of the millions in donations.
