Obama: GOP's only message is to blame me

Source: USA Today

President Obama says Republicans have only one message this election: Blame him.

"They're going to say (to voters), well, you know what, you're still not satisfied and it's Obama's fault," he told donors last night in Los Angeles. "That's the essence of their campaign.

"It's very easy to put on a bumper sticker," the president added. "'It's Obama's Fault.'"

Obama said that while many Americans are still hurting, the nation is recovering from the recession he inherited, the worst since the Great Depression.

Republicans, meanwhile, want to return to economic policies that brought on the 2008 financial meltdown, Obama said.

Get the vote records from all the things the president has tried to put through to help the economy from day one, and simply put them on the internet, use the in TV ads, and most important of all, use those voting records during the debates when Romney tries to lay all the blame on the president.

Hell they can even get footage off of CSPAN so everyone can hear the lame ass excuse republicans use when they try and defend their NO votes on the floor.

How romney would handle the debates.

Since his foundational theme is "the economy is struggling because of President Obama's ineffective economic policies", how will he rebut three facts: first, the majority of economists have already weighed in on President Obama's economic policies, including his Jobs Plan Initiatives, and concluded that they would be effective in job creation; secondly, the gop has blocked President Obama's economic policies at every turn; third, the majority of economists have concluded that the 30+ gop "Jobs Bills" that the gop touts, will not create jobs?

It's one thing to make these (gop) claims at gop events to gop supporters, where one can say "the moon is made of green cheese and those makes you see on its surface were made by unicorns", and no one will challenge you; but it is quite another, when your every claim will be immediately challenged ... with facts and citations.

Do they really want to do this? I know the gop true believers and anti-black guy ... er ..., anti-President Obama gopers will not be swayed; but what about the other 87% of the American electorate?

What Obama needs to do is lay out each proposal sent to Congress that was not passed and the expected number of jobs each proposal would have created then conclude the Republicans have blocked the creation of ______ number of jobs and remind us once again that each of those proposals were paid for so they would not have added to the deficit.

Why do we have selfish, self-serving Republicans in office at all? Why do any of the people who do not benefit and so often suffer, due to GOP policies, vote for them?
