I'm not sure about this.
The entire Republican rhetoric has been "Obama failed to fix the economy" and "Obamacare is bad". The problem with this line of attack is both are incorrect.
No matter how you look at it, the economy is doing better. Don't even pretend otherwise; It's just better. (How could it not be?)
Obamacare is here, it's a law, and while the launch was a disaster it isn't nearly as bad as the Republicans made it out to be. It's accomplished it's goal of getting more people on a healthcare plan, and it will get better with time.
The new line of attack seems to be focused on Benghazi. I fail to understand this at any level. The spin our government tried to put on Benghazi after the fact is irrelevant; This was an intelligence operation by the CIA. It's common sense that our government tried to blow it off; We do not comment on intelligence matters. We just don't. This is pretty obviously a direct attack on Hillary, which is most likely going to be the front runner for the Democratic party. This is a pre emptive strike at Hillary which makes sense at the strategic level (they need to get her shut down) but I think it's doomed to fail because the spin on what happened AFTER Benghazi is not important to anyone.
I am not Democrat or Republican; I'm just calling it as I see it. I had to look up Ted Cruz to make sure I knew who he is. Outside of Jeb in Florida, and McCain, I don't know anyone either party can tap to run. Well, Binden I guess, but good luck with that. Oh, of course, Palin - I would love to see her run again.
I saw an article that other day that said we should only elect former governors... Because they are the only ones that really "know how to run things". A great example of this is Obama - He's never really run anything. He represented his state as a Senator, but hasn't really "done" anything.
