Did Republicans Deliberately Crash the US Economy? By Michael Cohen, Guardian UK 10 June 12 Be it ideology or stratagem, the GOP has blocked pro-growth policy and backed job-killing austerity - all while blaming Obama. So why does the US economy stink? Why has job creation in America slowed to a crawl? Why, after several months of economic hope, are things suddenly turning sour? The culprits might seem obvious - uncertainty in Europe, an uneven economic recovery, fiscal and monetary policymakers immobilized and incapable of acting. But increasingly, Democrats are making the argument that the real culprit for the country's economic woes lies in a more discrete location: with the Republican Party. In recent days, Democrats have started coming out and saying publicly what many have been mumbling privately for years - Republicans are so intent on defeating President Obama for re-election that they are purposely sabotaging the country's economic recovery. These charges are now being levied by Democrats such as Senate majority leader Harry Reid and Obama's key political adviser, David Axelrod. For Democrats, perhaps the most obvious piece of evidence of GOP premeditated malice is the 2010 quote from Senate minority leader, [R-KY] Mitch McConnell:"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." <snip> readersupportednews.org/opinion2/279-82/11847-did-republicans-deliberately-crash-the-us-economy

If they did, they got Obama in on the plan. It's, primarily, his bumbling that's keeping money on the sidelines.

- bumbler in chief
It's his gross ineptitude and startling ignorance of all things economic that has the country log jammed. Private entities of all sorts have trillions of dollars just sitting on the sidelines waiting for this boob to get out of the way and let them go about their business. that's just not going to happen as long as this ignoramus has anything to do with running this country.
