The GOP’s decision to have no response is perfect.
The word is that Obama’s speech is going to be more of the usual claptrap.
This could backfire a bit on Obama. With all the build up for the speech, if he just comes out and wants more spending, along with talk about green jobs, wind and solar energy, etc. it will not resonate with the American people.
I must say it’s interesting to see how the liberals are turning on Obama. This speech may be as much about trying to keep the liberals enthused about his re-election as really trying to develop a new jobs policy.
“The GOP’s decision to have no response is perfect.”
I agree. Let him thrash about. The 2012 Presidential race will be decided by independents who poll in record numbers against the Obama stimulus plan. And here he comes with another one.The last thing the Republicans want to do is have a rebuttal hour to raise the specter of partisanship with them that turns them off.In this case, silence is golden.
