This is like Obama standing in front of the WTC on 9/11/01 and saying, if not for him, the buildings would have come down sooner--or more buildings would have been hit by planes--OR more people would have died.
It kind of misses the point that, the whole thing is, ALREADY A DISASTER!

Hot Air Obama to GOP: “You can’t have the keys back. You don’t know how to drive!”
Could be worse! Could be raining!

That's what Obama is telling us!
How many of you mindless Obama drones agree?

Thus spaketh the man with a 41 percent approval rating. I like his metaphor, actually, even if he has the particulars wrong: After two years of watching him swerve all over the road and sideswipe the occasional telephone pole, the publics decided that hes drunk and its time to take his keys away.
Reasonable people disagree about whether these initiatives should have been more or less ambitious, but almost everyone falls into one of these camps. And thats precisely the political problem Democrats now face.
A stimulus too small to significantly reduce unemployment, a TARP that didnt trickle down to Main Street, financial reform that doesnt fundamentally restructure Wall Street, and health-care reforms that dont promise to bring down health-care costs have all created an enthusiasm gap. Theyve fired up the right, demoralized the left, and generated unease among the general population.
This leaves the Democrats in a difficult position. They have to prove a negative propositionthat although these initiatives cost lots of money or require many new regulations, conditions would be or will be a lot worse without them.
Thats basically their argument, especially vis-a-vis the stimulus: If not for us, the totaled car that is American policy would be even more totaled. Slap that slogan on the bumper of a Chevy Volt and youre ready to roll. Exit question: Given his incredible driving prowess, why is our Jeff-Gordon-in-chief here not being invited for a national victory lap by congressional Democrats? Click the image to watch.
