POLITICS - Truth be Said

"Obama invokes Bush to attack Republicans" by Alan Elsner, Reuters 8/2/2010

Excerpt

At a fund-raising lunch for the Democratic National Committee, Obama tried to energize Democrats who are likely to lose seats in both chambers of the U.S. Congress in the November 2 elections.

U.S. voters will elect all 435 members of the House of Representatives and fill 37 of the 100 seats in the Senate.

Obama said that after losing control of Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008, Republicans did not engage in new thinking but stuck to the same policies that led the United States into the worst recession since the Great Depression.

"It's not like they engaged in some heavy reflection. They have not come up with a single, solitary new idea to address the challenges of the American people. They don't have a single idea that is different from George Bush's," he said.

Republicans, he said, are betting that Americans had forgotten recent history.

As I've said previously, the GOP dug our economic hole for 8yrs and STILL want to blame Obama (and Democrats) for not filling that hole in under 2yrs.
