What are they going to say if Obama's policies work out exactly the way he planned?

[ProSense]

The economy recovers, jobs (including green jobs) are created, Americans get affordable healthcare, the nation's infrastructure begins to be modernized and the country becomes less dependent on oil.

The detractors are crying for moderation, spinning socialism and lying about big government and everything else. What will they say when Obama's "New Deal" works?

[silverweb]

1. Claim credit for it, of course.

n/t

[DebbieCDC]

2. Claim boosh did it and Obama's just taking the credit for the recovery

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

21. It was totally the Bush tax cuts that did it. Hell, maybe it was even Bush's

and Reagan's tax-cuts somehow reaching some sort of standing wave, where together they did it. Of course Obama almost derailed the whole thing.

[TheCoxwain]

3. The Communists have taken over the best country god has made on the face of this earth..

or some such shit only Sean Hannity can think of ....

[iamthebandfanman]

4. id imagine

they will just act like they supported it all along and expect people to forget the past however many years it takes...

they seem to think if they change what the are saying and ignore questions from the past, somehow that makes it irrelevant and non-existent.



the whole republican strategy the last 7-8 years has been deny deny deny unless it benefits you and if denying it doesnt work, just ignore it and pretend it never happened..eventually people will stop asking questions about it because you arent answering

[ginnyinWI]

5. what they're doing now, I guess.

They're nit-picking and ignoring the big picture. Wailing about how much the national debt will increase. Fortunately the American people are in a whole different place. So let them whine on.

[Clio the Leo]

6. That "the economy would have fixed itself" ... they're already practicing that one.

Rove .... Buchanan .... one of those guys said "and if the economy is better in two years, it may because that it fixed itself, we'll never know for sure."

And that was my FIRST clue that the President was on the right path. What he's doing will work .... and they KNOW it.

[Cha]

9. And if mccain-palin

had somehow stolen the election..we'd be giving more tax cuts to the 2 %ers..killing more people in Iraq, scrapping Health Care, Education, The Arts, Vocano monitoring, Infrastucture, ect, ect, ect..and the repuke head cheezes on cnn et al could sit back say "we'll do nothing".

But, it's not their fucking time.

[robertpaulsen]

14. Yes. Plus the FDR Blame Game: He Prolonged It.

Why, it would have been solved so much sooner if McLame/Failin had won.

[okieinpain]

31. rush said it. that the economy always comes around after a

downturn, that you really don't have to do anything. it will fix itself.

[rpannier]

7. Take Credit

Say they eliminated the waste that was in the package that would have prevented the recovery

[louis-t]

8. It doesn't matter what they say.

No one will hear them. They will be irrelevant for a generation or more.

[ProSense]

10. That maybe a given, but there are

Democrats among the group crying for moderation. Collectively, with the Republicans, they're doing their best to water down policies. Some of them will be happy with a bandaid when what's needed is a tourniquet, or in some cases, life support and a radical new plan for going forward.

[Marsala]

11. Demand massive tax cuts now that the economy is recovered

Also say that the reforms are no longer needed since the crisis is past.

[WinkyDink]

12. "Obama just used the plan on President Bush's desk."

[yowzayowzayowza]

13. SOP: Lie. n/t

[keepthemhonest]

15. they would say see he didnt need to do any of that.

They are in a state of denial att the moment thinking the economy isn't tanking,but didnt they all sign the first stimulus when it was their president offering the package.Now it is a democrat and they stimulus does not have any of the perks they have been accustomed to so they say NO NO NO

[Still Sensible]

16. Yep, they'll do just what they did with Clinton

they'll try to sell the idea that the economy was already "poised" to begin a recovery because of the wise policies of the prior administration. Same bullshit over and over.

[JBoris]

17. They will claim that the economy suffered longer than it needed to b/c of Obama,

and that the worst of it was caused by Obama. Then they will claim that we are all now Socialists.

Then Mitt Romney will eat a live puppy on camera, and they will say it was all a "DemocRAT" party conspiracy that made them do it.

[LynnTheDem]

18. As it takes (insert appropriate # of) years, this is all due to George W. bUsh

after his massive cleaning up Bill Clinton's economic disasters.

[snake in the grass]

19. They will say...

...that Bush's sound policies have finally kicked in. And some people will actually believe that.

[glitch]

20. Same thing they said about FDR.

IOW, they'll deny it and believe their denials. That's the beauty of creating your own reality, it doesn't have to actually be real.

[Festivito]

22. As under Clinton they will say: "What recovery?"

They'll try anything to keep their base sheepled.

[grantcart]

23. Nobody will know because nobody will be listening to them (but us).

[Juche]

24. Clintons 93 budget helped fuel the growth in the 90s and balance the budget

The GOP both ignored it and took credit for it. If Obama's agenda works they'll do the same thing. Either ignore it or take credit for it.

[zulchzulu]

25. It's like asking a conman if an extra 20 bucks would help...

The conman would of course say that 30 would be nicer.

[AZBlue]

26. It's all "trickle-down" from Bush!

That's what they used to explain the good economy under Clinton, exposing not only their ignorance of the trickle-down theory but also economics in general.

[LiberalPersona]

27. They'll try to give Bush credit for it

Just like they keep trying to give the republican presidents credit for Clinton's success.

[Hellataz]

28. I can't wait to see this happen, but no doubt they will claim credit like they did to Clinton

[and-justice-for-all]

29. Repukes will not be happy until the blow up the world...

I dont give a shit what they say, they are worthless and a waste of air as far as I am concerned.

[Blue Gardener]

30. I think they'll crap their pants

Then go hide in their basements.

[Kablooie]

32. They'll say RUSH LIMBAUGH for PRESIDENT!

They are totally blind to any kind of reality whatsoever.
