GOP rep: Obama's 'in deep doo-doo' By Bridget Johnson - 08/07/10 01:08 PM ET

Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) said Friday that "a lot of people want to jump off" and follow Christina Romer out of the Obama administration.

"When you see a ship starting to sink, a lot of people want to jump off," the congressman said on Fox Business Network. "And she is one."

Romer, chairwoman of the president's council of economic advisers, announced Thursday that she was leaving Washington and returning to an economics teaching job at the University of California at Berkeley.

"This president is in deep doo-doo and I think a lot of people are saying, 'Hey, we've got to get out of here before we all look bad,'" Burton said.

The Indiana Republican added that he believes the country is headed for a double-dip recession.

"I think the unemployment rate will once again go above 10 percent," Burton said. "I wish it weren't so. If we had somebody like Ronald Reagan in the White House who knew what to do to get the economy moving maybe it wouldn't be that bad."

Btw, Pat Caddell is a democratic pollster with common sense and decency.

Romer did such a fantastic job with the economy, I mean, no wonder she is resigning. (sarcasm)

Inept, Incompetent.

Epic Fail.

Higher food prices at the store. High unemployment with
businesses holding back for fear of taxation. Expiring
Bush tax cuts. Looming Obamcare nightmare.
Barack is like the “Deepwater Horizon” rig, the calculations
have been run and the prognosis is, he is going to sink in flames in Nov.

And if the GOP does not respond in an intelligent manner instead of the usual political manner nothing positive will happen. And the mess will continue.

The GOP needs for Obama to prove he is eligible. Show us your papers.

The stinking TV networks and media will cover for the Kenyan no matter what.

Obama isn’t just in deep doo doo - he manufactures the stuff.

Pat is too bound to his family always voting for Democrats. These people know better but just can’t leave the party. I find them the most dangerous since they know better and they remain on the wrong side. This type of person votes for RINOs on our side.

"If we had somebody like Ronald Reagan in the White House who knew what to do..."

Republicans, still crying for their Caesar.

This all begins and ends with the legislative branch. Unfortunately, Rep. Burton thinks it's the job of the executive branch to decide what to do.

Idiot.

Back to the ivory tower. The real world is just tooooo hard.

Blame idiots who watch TV for helping. No matter what the GOP does - the liberal TV networks will attack them. They own 97% of all the channels and control the idiot populace. They support Obama 110%.

Fox saudia news? Well their Saudi shareholders are thrilled about the 911 mosque at ground zero.

Today, the islamic god occupying the "white house" has a net approval rating of -11 according to Rasmussen.

I wonder why....whenever the approval rating is worse than -15, we all hear about it.

But when it is better than -15, no one mentions it.

Just sayin'......
