What happened to "the prez really has little effect on the economy" meme?
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 09:44 PM by stopbush
Gee whiz. Earlier this week, the RW pundits were all chirping that "the prez doesn't really have an effect on the economy." That was their spin to explain away bush's three years worth of lousy economic performance. In fact, I started a thread on the very subject as recently as Monday or Tuesday.

Today, the 300,000 jobs created news hits the media, and all of a sudden, it's proof that bush's policies are responsible. Even bush was out spouting that line.

Geez, I'm confused!

1. When the econ goes down it's because
Dems are lazy assholes.

When it goes up it's because the Chimp Genius sez "Make it so!"

2. Can't have it both ways
I kept hearing this bullshit during the "Clinton Penission". Now, apparently the President can influence the economy.

:crazy:
