TRENDING: DNC chair says Republicans rooting for bad economy

“What's really bothersome to me is that it almost seems like my Republican colleagues in Congress and Mitt Romney are rooting for economic failure,” Wasserman Schultz told CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley. “I mean, they've been hyper focused on one job, Barack Obama's, for really the last two years. And we all need to be pulling together to focus on moving the economy forward for the middle class and for working families.”

She slammed GOP plans as focused only on “making sure millionaires and billionaires can continue to do even better.”

“That's a pretty huge contrast,” she said.

The DNC chairwoman also assailed her GOP rivals for efforts she said were meant to restrict women’s rights, saying policies that allow employers to deny health insurance coverage for contraception amounted to a stripping away of rights.

“The focus of the Republican Party on turning back the clock for women really is something that's unacceptable and shows how callous and insensitive they are towards women's priorities,” she said.

1. Glad she said it out loud.

Maybe this now deserves to move from TRENDING???

2. Of course they are.. that is their only hope of winning back the WH.

Lord Limbaugh told them so.

3. This is news?

They have been doing this since even before Obama won.

4. Remember what Senator McConnell said around BHO's inauguration?

He said the whole MO for the Repubs was to ensure that Obama was a one-term President.

What p-oed me, though, was Obama actually thinking he could negotiate with these clowns, after their chief clown said that.

5. Yeah, I'm sure he's dumb enough to have thought that.

Do you really believe that?

President Obama continuously made honest efforts to work with the Republicans. I really think he set them up. While some on the left have been busy crying "sellout!1!" and the like, Obama's been amassing a giant file of times where he tried to be reasonable with the R's but got nowhere. He can simply cite example after example of this in the coming campaign and blast away.

I really think he will point to that every time he wants to bolster support for the Dem candidate(s) where-ever he goes.

He comes out of it all looking fair, reasonable and earnest, they...well they don't.
