Their side has spent four months on the moderate recovery message, and our side has not challenged it. That’s the bottom line. As the economy gets worse, the Dems are actually getting less blame because of ‘4.5 million jobs created’ and ‘consecutive months of growth’. Our side needed to get an opposing view out there placing the slight uptick in context...that we fell to the bottom and are still stuck at the bottom.
You are exactly right. There is a still a large perecentage (the last I seen it was still a majority) that still blames Bush for the economy over Obama. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is said by our side to refute it. Well guess what? That is now conventional wisdom 40 days out from the biggest election of our lifetimes!
