Well, the liberal view is that the economy is improving, as unemployment ticked down to 8.8%. It’s improving, says the president.
And the liberal view is that things would have been even worse without Porkulus.
And since Obama inherited a mess, he needs more time to fix it, yadda, yadda, yadda.
This could be how Democrats campaign in 2012, on the idea that as bad as things are, it would be worse without Porkulus. And, the idea of blame the mess leftover from Bush will still be popular with liberals in 2012.
The elite liberal enviro-radical base wants higher gas prices, because they think we need clean green energy. They want to see Obama stop the rising of the oceans, and allow the planet to heal.
He’s got to run on something and I believe it’ll be along those lines. Fortunately I doubt he’ll be able to sell it to the numbers he did before, especially the Inds.
