President Obama forces Republican politicians to eat their own words (VIDEO)
President Obama continues his new stride as he chides Republicans for their failed prognostications. Democratic politicians encouraged his silence during the 2014 elections. Imagine what could have been if Americans had realized they had something to vote for. Imagine if Americans had believed that those pushing a relatively progressive agenda believed in that agenda and was willing to fight for that agenda.
Back in January President Obama chided Republicans for their new found love for the American poor and the American middle class. On Wednesday he did more than that. He pointed out how off base Republican willful deceptive prognostication of his policies were.
Now, I want to return to the issue of the debate that we were having then because it bears on the debate we’re having now. It’s important to note that at every step that we've taken over the past six years we were told our goals were misguided; they were too ambitious; that my administration’s policies would crush jobs and explode deficits, and destroy the economy forever. Remember that? Because sometimes we don’t do the instant replay, we don’t run the tape back, and then we end up having the same argument going forward.

There was that trio of clips of FDR that's run thru DU this past week (not for the first time, of course) that could be used in a point - counterpoint spot(s). Then have some Rethug legislators going on about changing voting requirements, counterpointed by Democratic president Johnson signing voting rights into law - or counterpointed by the ACTUAL number of voter fraud cases that have been found. Or again - just the individual points shown in the video of this thread. - Boehner asking "Where's the jobz?" and then Obama answering him with the FACTS of today.
About a dozen or so of those point-counterpoint ads thru the run up to election day. Instead of the same tired thirty seconds worth of pie-inna-sky BS for whoever the hopeful turns out to be.
DUH....... and to think I wasted my working years using my hands to make my way!
