What do you think would have happened?

[kentuck]

If, in January of 2009, Barack Obama had come out with the same message and same attitude that he is now showing towards the Republican Party? What would the Republican Party have done?

If Barack Obama had said to the voters that we are on the precipice of collapse and we must do everything within our power to prevent that from happening? If he had said to the voters that the Big Banks and Wall Street had taken our economy to the edge and that we needed radical reform of both those institutions because we could not allow this to happen again. What would have happened if he had insisted on the help of both Parties to straighten out the mess? What would the Republicans have said or done when our nation was in the throes of an economic calamity? What could they have said?

What would have happened if Barack Obama had said to the voters that we needed instant repeal of the Bush taxcuts to prevent further monstrous debt and deficits and that we needed reform of the healthcare system that was the largest drag on our economy recovering? What could the Republicans have said at that time? Would the voters have gone along with the President in January 2009??
