All of these tv people are saying “well the American people are fed up with the fact that congress can’t get it done” etc.. or some variation of that. Are these people that stupid or is that the narrative now? Blame the entire Congress for the failure of this administration? The Senate is controlled by Democrats, the White House is Democrat. If this same scanario were reversed and conservatives held the Senate and the Whitehouse then the narrative would be “look how bad they are. They have 2/3’s and can’t get anything done.”
You see, no matter what the situation and what cards the republicans have in their hand they will always play into the narrative that is defined for them by the media.
CCB would have made the necessary cuts to avoid the downgrade. The Dems tabled it. That would or should be the only response from the Republicans going forward. Then, make this next election ABOUT this. That way, Obama has not put this behind him through the next election.(As Donald Trump says he has)
BTW- I have serious suspicions that the Whitehouse may have wanted the S&P downgrade in order to try and force raising taxes. Sure is funny how S&P put it out there at 7pm on a Friday JUST LIKE how the Whitehouse has always put stuff out there.
Carney’s statement is (.)bama’s attempt to through Congress under the bus as if he was above the fray.
