Do you think the American public will see through GOP's stalling effort to run Obama out of office?
Reading the recent news articles on the debt negotiations and stalled legislation in Congress, it seems quite clear that the Republicans are refusing any and all plans in hopes that the fallout will/can be attributed to Obama and thus ruin his chances of re-election.
What do you think Reddit?
I see basically two scenarios.
a) legislative stalling results in negative economic outcomes that are quickly attributed to President and executive branch via time-honored Republican tactic of repeating falsehoods until they are taken as facts. People call for Obama to resign and be replaced in 2012 by "someone who can work with Congress" (read as Republican)
OR
b) People see through bullshit bluffing and take it out on the GOP by staying at home during the elections and/or voting for the other party, reaffirming a mandate with Obama.
