You're right about the people being damned angry about 9.1% unemployment rate, $3.50 gasoline, and their home values dropping 50%. But the people are also smarter than you think. They rightfully place the blame on the obstructionist GOP congress and the continuing BUSH recession.
Public Likes Obama Jobs Plan Even If Congress Doesnt « Alan Colmes' Liberaland
YOu can tell yourself that, but no one is going to buy it.
Even I am fair enough to admit Bush deserves his share of the blame.
But you know what? Bush isn't running this time. Obama is.
"I can't solve the problems" isn't an argument... and it's pretty clear to most people he can't.
The only saving grace is that all the Republicans are kind of weak right now. But do you really think people are going to be patient with another year of worsening economic conditions?
And I have said before that if the GOP was smart (I know, it's an oxymoron) they would let Obama have whatever he wants. Then if the economy continued going south then Obama would get all the blame. But since they won't Obama gets to demonize them.
It's exactly the same way Clinton rammed it up the GOP's ass with the government shut down and the MILLIONS of dollars the GOP forced to be spent on an office blowjob.
And the GOP got their asses KICKED in the court of public opinion both times.
