Is it possible to wait until President Obama unveils his housing plan before coming out against it?
If Republicans want to know why most Americans aren’t taking them seriously then they need look no further than Eric Cantor. Cantor’s ambition to be the new voice of the GOP is transparent, deeply lacking in both patience and poise. He’s jumping the gun, fighting against what, as of yet, doesn’t exist. And by valuing being the first to come out against a housing plan that technically doesn’t exist he only succeeds in devaluing any substantive criticism concerning the plan.
Unless… anyone truly believes that after the plan is released people will be shocked that Cantor is against it. I think the more appropriate reaction will be…
American #1: “Eric Cantor is against the Housing Plan.”
American #2: “Duh.”
