Y'all are looking at this all wrong:
1) The WH says the House Republicans are responsible for the economy.
2) The MSM, in a transparent attempt to cover for O, repaint the contracting economy as a good thing.
3) The House GOP should call them on it, and simply say "Since the contracting economy is a good thing, you're welcome. Elect more Republicans, and more good things will happen".
4) Watch O and the MSM sputter in disbelief. Laugh.
