So when Republican Governor Mitt Romney went to S&P to beg them to raise Massachusetts’ credit rating, you know what he did to convince them to not only do it, but to also demonstrate he was serious about fiscal policy? That’s right, Romney bragged to the S&P that he raised tax revenue by $1.5 billion each year for two years, and passed legislation to close tax loopholes and offer amnesty to tax scofflaws, so long as they paid. Of course, the Reversing Romney is now criticizing Obama for trying to get Congress to do the same thing.
Kevin Drum kinda sums up my feelings on the whole Progressives/Liberals are mad at Obama thing. Liberals are Chumps. Why?
Honest to God, Republicans must all be sitting in their back rooms and just cackling like hell right now. Think about it. They developed a strategy to hamstring the president completely — a strategy that’s bulletproof thanks to our country’s Constitution — knowing that it would rally their base but also hoping that it would cause moderates and lefties alike to become disgusted with Obama’s weakness even though we all know who’s really responsible for what’s going on. And it worked! In fact, it’s worked better than they could possibly have imagined. They can probably barely keep from spitting up their beers right now.
We are such chumps.
I used to think Liberals were too smart and intelligent to all rally together against a real common foe. Now I think we are too dumb.
