Santorum just said the POTUS has little impact on the economy

[Dragonbreathp9d]

Sooooo- no more blaming Obama?

1. Oops

Does he know that he's under the microscope right now...not a good thing to say Rick.

However true he thinks it is, its something you just don't say.

2. The impact of any president on the economy overstated

If the economy is good, the president takes the credit and if the economy is bad, his opponents bash him for it. The reality is that there is little a president, by himself, can do to move the needle.

3. So what he is saying if he was elected as president

all of his policies that he is in favor of
would have little impact on the economy
Then why does he want to be president??

4. ...unless his name is Obama.

5. Wow, Haven't heard a GOPer say that since GWB was in office.

That was always Tucker Carlson's line whenever someone made an issue of the high gas prices (then, too), hiring slump, etc. during Shrub's reign.

Wait a day; Santorum will be back-pedalling at the speed of sound.

6. No, he's trying to deflect is own stupid economic plan as being worthless

and trying to sell it as a good thing that won't effect people much.

the man is walking dog shit.
