WASHINGTON -- Republicans are hoping the economy continues to struggle so they can win the White House in November and should put those political concerns aside and take steps to boost job creation, top Obama campaign officials said Sunday.

"They need to get off their hands and stop rooting for failure," Stephanie Cutter, Obama's deputy campaign manager, said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod accused Republicans of "high-fiving each other" when bad economic news comes out.

"These are the architects of obstruction and now they’re complaining about the pace of the recovery," Axelrod said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "They should put down their political hats and join us and help solve these problems."

The Democrats will say anything to win. Truth does not matter to them. They will make up anything. Like the Republicans really want the economy to fail so they can win. What a big lie. The Republicans want to see the economy rise to its fullist, guaranteed!

What I find weird is that Barry and his commie lib ‘RATS are working hard to give them what they are “rooting” for.

“They should put down their political hats and join us and help solve these problems.”

Who is ‘us’.

Barry’s budget was voted down 99-0 in the Senate on May 16.

And it went down 414-0 on March 28.

So who exactly is this ‘us’ we are supposed to join with?

“Rooting” for it to be bad, ain’t causing it to be bad...obama has done that for all of us.

The best Georgie can do is the deputy campaign manager? Wouldn’t it be funny if he has to do this every week to have an obama mouth piece. Axelrod, Cutter and Moochelle.

No you already failed. You have no ideas, just saying it is getting better and you need more time because Bush created something too big to fix in 4 years.
what an awful P-resident OF the united S-tates!

There's a huge difference between “rooting” and “told ya so”.

Remember when Hillary never hesitated to use the phrase “the worst economy since Herbert Hoover” throughout the 2008 campaign?

Now she’s on the inside - part of the REAL worst economy since Herbert Hoover - and you don’t hear that phrase any more, on any media. Funny, huh?

Hey I root for the New Yankees to fail all the time. So if they don’t win the world series it’s my fault?

Obama to Republicans in Congress in 2009: “I won”.

This is the Republicans fault? The Donkeys have been running things since 2007 and spending us into oblivion. It’s really worked well, don’t you think?

Excuse me? who is it who talked about “the worst economy in 50 years” in ‘92? Who was it that produced 50 news stories a day about high gasoline prices and the pain they caused when W was president? Who was it who rooted for defeat in Iraq? In Vietnam?

...Axelrod accused Republicans of "high-fiving each other" ...

You mean like Biden and the Kenyan did during 2010's "Summer of Recovery"?

Interesting - “hoping” for the economy to fail must be much worse than being the architects of that failure...
