Obama Kicks Some GOP Ass

This is well worth watching:



Steve Benen's take:

Obama wasn’t taking on a straw man in his remarks – he referenced actual claims from GOP lawmakers and candidates. One said the president’s economic agenda would “diminish stock prices,” which turned out to be backwards. Another said the nation faced “trillion-dollar deficits as far as the eye can see,” which was also turned out to be the opposite of reality. Another predicted that Republican policies might get unemployment down to 6% by 2016 – and it’s 5.5% now, well ahead of schedule.

Hilariously, most Republicans are still trying to convince the American people that none of this stuff is happening. Ted Cruz's recent speech is a good example of this willful ignorance.
