Rubio Blames Obama For Economic Contraction

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) blamed President Obama for the contraction in the economy in the final quarter of 2012, saying that his big government policies were at fault during an appearance on Fox News Thursday.

"We're beginning to see proof in the last three months of last year the American economy shrunk and it shrunk under this president because of his policies," Rubio said.

Conversely, economists blamed a reduction in government spending as cause for the economic slowdown. The White House on Wednesday blamed House Republicans' "political brinkmanship" for dragging down the economy.

2. Likely because

"Why don't we get daily updates on Al Franken's opinion of everything in the world? "

That runs counter to the media's goal.

Wait til the sequester cuts hit. The Republicans love to see the economy in the tank. Fuck em.

4. Gee, I see it as a direct outcome of the GOP driving us toward their 'fiscal cliff' and

doing everything they possibly could to continue a recession.
