Rush was right this past Thursday when he theorized that Obama and the rest of the campaign advisors are going to trot out a huge second stimulus knowing full well it will be opposed. They're counting on running against this opposition.
You can wave off Limbaugh if you want, but folks, it's already started and the plan has not even been announced yet. David Axelrod was on CNN's State of the Union Sunday show today dropping the first volley in the' blame republicans' for opposing the not yet made public jobs plan.
Amanda Carpenter Tweeted this morning: "Sounds like Obama is planning to unveil an econ plan they want the GOP to reject."
"They'll unveil another big spending plan, knowing they can use the GOP press releases against it to cry "obstruction."
And so goes the 2012 campaign for president. We'll see if this works, a lot will depend on how many friends the president still has in the journalism world.
Obama doesn't have to worry about friends in the media. They will continue to support him and call the Republicans obstructionist, since they have to show the public they have been right all along.
Republicans should send a clear message. The first stimulus program was complete failure. The American public can't afford another mistake.
