TPM: Virginia Governor and Mitt Romney surrogate Bob McDonnell (R) on Sunday floated what may turn into a Republican talking point if the economy continues to improve: It wasn't President Obama who made it happen, it was the GOP governors. "Look, I'm glad the economy is starting to recover, but I think it's because of what Republican governors are doing in their states, not because of the president."
Let's go ahead and crush this ridiculous lie right now - basically the same Republican governors were going with the same Republican party policy then, before the economy went into meltdown, as they are now. And they've been going with the same failed policy that on the federal level crashed the economy in the first place. Therefore they can't be the difference. The economy is getting better despite their efforts, not because of them. That's what the evidence shows.
And then of course we have the fact which pretty much everybody, Democrat or Republican knows to be true, the Republicans don't want the economy to get better before the election. They wouldn't do anything to try and make it so.
