How stupid. The DNC guy hinted at it, but all Obama has to say is, "If Senator McConnell and other Republicans don't understand how all of these issues are related, let me explain...." And then he explains it in his usual sensible manner and Republicans look dumb once again.

These guys are somewhat admirable in their discipline. It would be nice if they put as much effort into actual problem solving as they do determining what their political talking points are going to be.

Now Obama is spending too much time on the economy?

I guess he needs to just sit around all day and wonder what to do about the economy, but don't do anything about it, and don't think about anything else.

Maybe they should just ask Obama to hunker down and ride out his presidency in an undisclosed location.

(DNC) spokesman Hari Sevugan :
"I guess when you have no new ideas, anything more than zero must seem overwhelming.

That's so not true!

The Republicans do have a comprehensive and integrated plan -- Tax Cuts for Millionaires.

If we just cut the taxes of millionaires some more then the magical power of the Supply-side Fairy will keep people from getting sick, keep roads and bridges from wearing out, keep flood waters at bay and make all our children's test scores above average.

So what you're saying is that the republicans have too many messages?

Someone should ask a car company ceo if he thinks economic, healthcare and energy policy are at all related. I wonder what their answer would be. Perhaps thats why repubs. and the media shifted from the ridiculous $50/hr meme, as the public was starting to realize( thanks to liberal blogs) how legacy costs( read healthcare costs) were a major factor in that.

Are these guys really that effin' dumb?

Oh, wait: These are the guys that still say tax cuts create jobs. . .

In other words, the Party of No is accusing President Obama of working too hard to solve the country's problems.

That's the best they can come up with?

I have never understood how the GOP thinks, but this one really has me scratching my head. To whom is this message supposed to appeal? Who, besides the mouth-breathing wingnut base thinks Obama should stop trying to fix what the Republicans broke?

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the mouth-breathing wingnuts already agree with them. Where are they going with this except into the remainder bin of history?

the only sensible response from the Left should be:

We totally understand that the Republican party can't handle more than one issue at a time. We experienced that during the Bush Administration; while Republicans were in charge of congress. That's why we find our economy in shambles today. We're willing to work with them; if they're willing to learn multi-tasking and getting our economy rolling again.

Shorter Repubs: We don't get it. No fair.

This one's a reall winner.

For a while, one of the principal criticisms from President Obama's detractors was that he's trying to take on too many policy challenges at once. The criticism never really stuck...

with those who worship Him. Some of us are starting to think he may be insane with his spending.

Not only is the redolent of whining about be asked to exert themselves, it seems to belie the months of criticisms leveled during months of campaigning, where they seemed never at a loss to express their confidence that the same policies President Obama now proposes will not work. Either they were talking through their hat then, or they're being disingenuous now (or both, my preferred take).

Attacking (or, in a more grown up world, critiquing) new ideas is what conservatives are supposed to do.

Liberals come up with all sorts of ideas to make things better. Some are good ideas, some... not so much.

Conservatives find problems in the new ideas. Some are real problems, some... not so much.

The way it ought to work is that we respect each others contribution, fix the problems, ditch the bad ideas, and move forward with the good ones.

What is so hard about this?
