Week of November 23, 2008 - November 29, 2008

Is it me or are Republicans trying to take claim for any future success of Barack Obama's administration?


It struck me at first with some saying "Obama ran as a moderate Republican so that is why he won. Then, it was the  "center-right nation" stuff. Almost trying to pigenhole Obama into not veering this country too far into the left (he will gradually do so with specific policies that will help people but that is for another blog) and keeping it right in the center or the center-right. Then, after some of Obama's choices EVERY REPUBLICAN started using the terms "center-right Democrats". It was disturbing to say the least, I kept hearing "Obama is making solid choices, choosing the Democrats from the center-right wing of his party". It seems to me that they are doing two things:

1.They are trying to spin of course. Making their epic losses less than what they really are, and trying so save face.

2.They are trying to take credit for any success of the Obama administration by saying it's the CENTER-RIGHT Democrats who are steering this country in the back on track and only because Obama has tapped them is he doing well.

 

Personally, I don't feel this will work  very well. A "D" next to someones name is still a "D" no matter how you spin it. I am just saying I see that as a sort of defence for Obama's (hopefully) future progresses being made right off the bat, and it's Obama using core "Republican" or at least "Right-Wing" traits that are the reasons to his success.

2.5 million jobs..................MY ASS!


I gurantee you Obama is lowballing that number incredibly. It is ingenious, the ultimate "low expectations" game. I believe this is the case when I watched his youtube address and you can easily tell he is playing this number perfectly. When he FAR exceeds the 2.5 million it  will  do two things:

 

1. It will help the American people since more and more jobs are created.

2.It will look like he is making incredible progress in putting this country back on track.

That will keep him in those high 60s in approval ratings right before election time (I am not saying he is playing politics to fix the crisis I am saying this is just killing two birds with one stone). Just watch, God willing I will be here to bring this blog up by 2011 when it is 4 million plus new jobs created  by 2011, INGENIOUS.
