Republicans have obstructed every effort to help the economy. In the Senate they filibustered hundreds of bills. In the House they refused to allow votes on efforts to help the economy. And then there's the sabotage.

The Republican political strategy has been to obstruct efforts to help the economy for everyone but the wealthiest few, and then campaign on complaints that the economy isn't helping anyone but the wealthiest few. It's working.

In President Obama's July 12 weekly address he said, "So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked every serious idea to strengthen the middle class." He could have said, "Since 2009." Since the 2009 "stimulus," Republicans have obstructed pretty much every effort to help the economy. In the Senate they have filibustered hundreds of bills, and since the "stimulus" they have managed to keep anything from passing that might help the economy.

In the House, Republicans have refused to allow votes on anything that seriously would help the economy, instead passing only tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, spending cuts on essential things like maintaining our infrastructure and scientific research, and cutting regulations that protect people and the environment from being harmed by corporations seeking profit.

Government seriously can't help the economy only harm it. Obstruction and opposition is a good thing.

Ok ... so if it's that simple ... explain why The GOP Lost?

Because they put all their efforts on The Rich.

Because the Dems put more efforts into the rich while lying they were for the rest of us.

IOW, they both play the same game, and the votes go back and forth, and the Donkephant strides on.

So the Republicans have been able to obstruct and sabotage this most destructive of Presidents. They do deserve to be elected this November then.

I'm always hearing from Dems....and those who pretend not to be....and you know who you are.....that Repubs are so disorganized....do inept.....how they must write notes on their palm....or that they're too stupid for this or too uninformed for that. Turn around however, and you've got those same Dems whining that this Messiah President has been obstructed and sabotaged. Prevented from closing Gitmo, shutting down the government(while they tout lower unemployment numbers). President Oblamo had his summer of recovery, his jobs package, his economic revivals, his GM is alive and OBL is dead speech......and the Republicans dominate him anyway. Proving how much smarter we are than the President, we do all of this from a majority in the House and without a single Repub in the White House advising the circus clown what funny face to put on next. We are the flag bearers.....from a mere majority in the House! We're awesome!

Very simple.

obama voters do not need jobs or a strong economy.

all they need is Obama and the wipe-every-nose welfare state to take care of them.

If the Donkephant had not already crushed our economy we would not need legislation to help it. Think about it. BTW, with all the war mongering do you still believe Obama to be any different from Bush ? If so how?
