Official Republican position is that economy is in a mess.

[.... callchet ....]

Reality is that most of them have never had it better. Yet they want the USAmerican public to think they are having it hard. They have never had it

better. They want people to think they are getting hurt to, so that the public will think they are trying to help by opposing Obama.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

1. Obama needs to explain it was the Republicans fault

that Bush was on a ship adrift throwing his only food to the sharks.

[.... callchet ....]

2. Right you are.

WHen they are speaking, they act like innocent bystanders flustered by the mess.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. they shrug "who me?"

4. I think he's been doing that.

As I said, the one concern I’ve got on the stimulus package, in terms of the debate and listening to some of what’s been said in Congress is that there seems to be a set of folks who — I don’t doubt their sincerity — who just believe that we should do nothing. Now, if that’s their opening position or their closing position in negotiations, then we’re probably not going to make much progress, because I don’t think that’s economically sound and I don’t think what — that’s what the American people expect, is for us to stand by and do nothing.

And:

My administration inherited a deficit of over $1 trillion, but because we also inherited the most profound economic emergency since the Great Depression, doing little or nothing at all will result in ever — even greater deficits, even greater job loss, even greater loss of income and even greater loss of confidence. …

But what I — what I’ve been concerned about is some of the language that’s been used suggesting that this is full of pork and this is wasteful government spending, so on and so forth. First of all, when I hear that from folks who presided over a doubling of the national debt, then, you know, I just want them to not engage in some revisionist history. I inherited the deficit that we have right now and the economic crisis that we have right now.

I think that's letting folks know.

12. the word 'inherited' should translate into = 'Republicans mismanaged'

[onethatcares]

15. gaud, I really liked hearing him say that.

I'm sure others did too.:toast:

[bdamomma]

8. President Obama makes a point of saying "We inherited this "

[Rosa Luxemburg]

10. yes but people need it spelled out who did it

[TahitiNut]

13. So, spell it out. I do. Every damn chance I get.

EVERYONE can "be the change we wish to see in the world."
:shrug:

3. Apparently it's all President Obama's fault.

That is, according to an email I received from my Uncle this morning. He said that he's watched the new administration screw up in the first couple weeks and is not going to invest until he's sure there will not be a serious economic downturn. What kind of crack are these Republicans smoking? It scares the shit out of me that an otherwise, semi-reasonable man could be so far divorced from reality. It makes me want to ram my head against a wall out of sheer frustration and exasperation.

7. Well since we can't decorate the oak trees with rpigs

We make them irrelevant.
I suggest we bend our thoughts toward brainstorming on that front. Take every opportunity to point that up. Does anyone have any Ideas?
I m tired and stressed, not only by the eco mess, but my baby girl Dora, my seizure alert/aide dog is at the vets to get spayed today, in 7 years she has never been away from me for more than a few hours and that rarely. I worry about her trust in me. She was promised as a tiny 5 week old that i would never let anyone hurt her.
I know its for her health..but does not take away the fear and guilt.

[bdamomma]

5. which the repigs made with no plan for them to present.

they are in shambles right now, they only thing they have is to smear and bash President Obama. What a bunch of losers.

[Still Sensible]

6. Actually the GOP position is rapidly becoming bent over and

grabbing their ankles.

[bdamomma]

9. oh yes, and the more they resist they will be seeing very low

ratings. Whiners and poor losers.

[lpbk2713]

14. It really made me LOL when I heard them say it was all Jimmy Carter's fault.

As if RayGun and the two Bush fuggups had never had a chance
at correcting anything they thought needed correcting.
