I wonder if he realizes just how stupid this makes him look??

Really.
But the media will give Republicans full, complete, solitary credit any time those numbers go down.

In a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday morning, the newly elected majority leader suggested that the growing signs of an economic recovery -- 5 percent GDP growth, 320,000 additional jobs in November, all-time highs in the markets on Wall Street and plunging gas prices, to name a few -- just might have something to do with the election of a Republican Congress. Happens that quickly, does it?

He doesn’t care. He won, the rest of us all lose.

I hate to say it, but I think there might be something to what he is saying. People do act based on expectation, and people are (rightly or wrongly) expecting this Congress to be more economy and taxpayer friendly.

What a dummass.
The economy is starting to do better because the ball and chain of transportation costs has been alleviated somewhat with the low fuel prices.

Remember how the stock market tanked after ObaMao was elected and before he even took office?

There is SOME truth to it. At the time of the election, my daughter was job hunting. She was told by every headhunter and recruiter she spoke with that business was waiting on the outcome. If the GOP won, they were hiring.
Then they did.
I loath Mitch. But there is indeed truth spoken here.

So now are McConnell & Obama going to argue about which party’s policies are responsible for this uptick in the economy? This is assuming there was one.

These Republicans are worse for us than the Democrats. Democrats oppose us. Republicans claim to be on our side but also oppose us.
