Bradblog: The Obama/Democratic Stimulus Worked

[Number23]

"The Obama/Democratic Stimulus Worked"

"It's up to the wingnuts. If they want to keep lying about Obama, then we'll do our best to set the record straight. If they want to bring up legitimate criticism, and there's plenty of it, then we'd likely join them, and we could all have an Obama bashing party together. But they're not that smart."

"...Love him or hate him, or anything in between, recognition of the overall effect of the broad points of Obama's emergency economic policies --- quickly passed at an historic moment of looming disaster --- is due. At least along with any honest appraisal of those policies."

On DU, I'm seeing the same names post over and over and over again "we want action and not words!!ONE!!" as if Obama hasn't done anything except sit in front of a damn podium for the last 13 months. I don't know about y'all, but I'm sick of the lies and mischaracterizations coming from BOTH sides.

1. It's a reframe of the "style vs substance" meme of the primaries

4. Plenty of successful Action from this White House~

To those who only see "words" ..it shows all they have is a keyboard to advertise their ignorance.

6. Yes, that one always gets me, too. I've concluded the "action, not words" thing is deliberate hooey.

Just people deliberately trying to stir things up.
