RUSH: Here's Chuck Schumer. Chuck-U Schumer is on offense again, and Dick Turban, too. This is about the Republicans sabotaging the United States economy.
SCHUMER: (condescendingly) We need to start asking yourselves an uncomfortable question: Are Republicans slowing down the recovery on purpose (pause) for political gain in 2012? And now it's becoming clear that insisting on a slash-and-burn approach may be part of this plan. It has a double benefit for Republicans: It's ideologically tidy, and it undermines economic recovery which they think only helps them in 2012. If the public comes to believe that Republicans are deliberately sabotaging the economy, it will backfire politically.
RUSH: This is really so audacious it's unbelievable. They are sabotaging the economy, Barack Obama is. Let me ask: If Republicans are sabotaging the economy, why is the Texas economy so strong? Republican governor. Why is North Dakota's economy booming? Republican governor. Why is New Jersey's economy on the rebound? Republican governor. Is Governor Christie sabotaging that economy or is he rescuing it? How about Wisconsin? How about Indiana? How about Ohio? We got Scott Walker, we got Mitch Daniels, we got John Kasich. Those states are on the rebound economically. Republican governors. Are they sabotaging their state economies? The facts say they are rescuing their states. Did Reagan or Carter policies sabotage the US economy? I ask you.
Rush said this:
Where have the Republicans had the votes or the power to do anything?
Well, Rush, they have the power now, which is why the Senate doesn't get to go on vacation next week but instead gets to thrash out raising the debt ceiling. That's what Schumer and Durban are talking about, I would think.
Of course the Republicans don't think they're sabotaging, they think they're saving. It's all in the point of view.
What I think will be interesting will be if President Obama stays in town all week, next week, or if he goes with his family somewhere. It will be really funny if he does go somewhere...and sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if he did.
