It isn't going to work for the Democrats.
It's stupid, and transparent. Everyone knows the Democrats owned Congress for four years prior to 2010, and the Presidency for two. We all saw what they did when they ran the whole show.
The "obstructionist Republican" meme isn't going to work.
And not to put to fine a point on it, if any kind of recovery is happening, it obviously isn't because of "jobs" bills that were never passed. In short, Obama is going to have a hard time claiming credit for recovery and at the same time blame the Republicans for not letting him do anything.
