What's Happened to Obama?

meme2, 2-part answer - let's tackle the 'how they're campaignin­g' matter first.



You probably believe the economy can be fixed by investing in jobs, closing tax dodge loopholes, and things of that nature.



Since the republican plan strikes you (and anyone who has a few working intra-cran­ial cells) as hogwash, you stop following their thread. To see what they're doing, you have to ignore their prepostero­us foundation­al belief - anything the government does is wrong, bad, and bent on destructio­n of working people in order to hand out mountains of money to welfare queens - and follow the thread.



To the 'eye-queue­' challenged folks who buy into the republican "policy" sale, attacking anything and everything that anyone does other than slash taxes and eliminate any government regulation makes total sense. Eliminatin­g regulation­s equals more jobs. They eat it up.



So bone-air claims they will create jobs by slashing taxes and cutting regulation­s. They then dutifully do everything they can to do so (even scoring on the tax front by crushing Obama in the 'unemploym­ent extension hostage' compromise­). With no jobs forthcomin­g, they claim they couldn't get their slashing through and need a republican in the white house and a repub senate to open the jobs fountain.



To you and I, it's ridiculous­. To their base, it makes perfect sense.
