I’ve been warning conservatives to go easy on the doomsday financial predictions. They make easy targets for the lefties…
The kitchen sink brigade

When the Dow was down below 7,000, Republicans couldn’t stop citing it as ‘proof’ that President Obama’s economic plans had failed.

Now that the Dow is in 9,000 territory — up well over 10% since inauguration day — right-wing pundits like J.P. Frere are trying to pretend conservatives never attacked Obama on the stock market.

Well, as Faiz Shakir of Think Progress and David Shuster and Tamron Hall of MSNBC reminded Frere, that’s exactly they did — and as this clip shows, the videotape doesn’t lie.


Watch the video. Making these bad predictions is going to have consequences down the road. When the economy is well into recovery in a few years a lot of people are going to look very stupid. Stupid doesn’t win elections.
