Have you not paid attention to anything the GOP has done over the past 3-1/2 years? It's without a doubt they've gone out of their way to gridlock anything the President wants done. Budget? Nope. Health Care? Nope. They few things he did manage is because of him scratching their backs by extending the tax cuts for the rich. They want to tank the entire economy just so they can point the finger at the man in charge and say "It's his fault!!"

I think your analogy falls flat. The Republican House has passed budgets. It's the Democratic Senate that has consistently failed to pass anything of their own, during the Obama administration.

Carrying this "logic" further", were Democrats in Congress were responsible for the economy under Bush II? Were Newt Gingrich and the Republicans responsible for the good economy lasting as long as it did under Clinton? Or are you just trying to say that opposition to the current President automatically equals "tank the entire economy"?
