Chris Matthews: "When will republicans give obama credit for the amazing economy"

[Max E.]

Serious?

Gee Chris, they only spent the entire 2012 campaign pointing out how bad obamas economy is, and trying to lay blame on him while the left wing media excused his poor performance, and blamed bush.

Repuyblicans are more than willing to give obama credit for the economy.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Coming up, when is President Obama going to get some credit—and this is like Rodney Dangerfield, when’s he going to get some credit for this amazing economy that’s coming back? It definitely is coming back, maybe not like gangbusters, but the unemployment rate really dropped again today, and there really are a quarter-million new jobs out there, it really is amazing. And the stock market for the rich is going through the roof.

When’s this guy going to get some respect? Republicans, when are they going to set a standard, ‘OK, if he gets to this number, we’ll love him.’ You ought to ask this question. Will they ever admit he’s doing a good job? [...]

It seems to me when I look at the stock market breaking all records, when I look at 236,000 new jobs and I keep thinking when are the Republicans going to do what Rodney Dangerfield asked for all those years, ‘show a little respect.’ And what does this all mean? Don’t they secretly say ‘damn it, things are getting better!’ I mean what are they saying when they read this stuff? [...]

The old line, you’re younger than me, Joy, too, you may not have heard this one either: “If you want to live like a Republican, vote like a Democrat.” It’s not true that people have better times, better life existences under Republicans.

Of course, Bernanke is doing more than Obama to blow-up the balloon.

I'll give Obama some credit for "saving" our economy right after he takes responsibility for Benghazi, and a number of other screw ups both foreign and domestic.
