The recent description or characterization of the Republican Party has been “The Party of No”.
Lead by Dr. No -- Rush Limbaugh. Republicans have been accused of organizing a secret solidarity pack against any plan President Obama and his administration proposes. It’s also been implied that the new Republican Party slogan is “Just Say No”. From GOP (Grand Old Party) to PON (Party Of No).
When asked if republicans offer Economic Recovery Plan alternatives, solutions, or plans, the response was, you guessed it, No. The 16 page Economic Recovery Brief, released earlier this week, does not count. (i.e. = to No)
Since the stimulus plan was signed, the markets has begun to show signs of consistent positive gains, the average 30 fixed rate mortgages have dropped, new home sales have begun to rise, and durable goods are on the increased. Will the “Party of No” give the Obama administration some credit??? I guessing, No.

I find it interesting that people give presidents credit for the economy recovering, when that recovery usually happens on its own. Bush received credit for the recovery from the dot-com bust (when he did nothing) and now Obama receives credit even when that wasteful stimulus package hasn’t even made it to the state level. As far as the Republicans being the “Party of No,” I think they are seeing a fast one being pulled on the American people. Legislation is being passed so fast that most members of congress have not had the chance to read it. I think Obama needs to take his time (he has four years) and let the American people and their representatives in Congress air out his legislation. If it turns out to be a good idea and good for the country, it will pass.
