Martin O’Malley, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, delivered an aggressive attack on the GOP's economic policies as he discussed how President Obama could overcome political head winds and win reelection.

Republicans “are responsible for an awful lot of damage to our country’s economy, to the erosion of our middle class, to first stagnating and then declining wages," said Maryland Governor O'Malley, who spoke Thursday at a breakfast for political reporters hosted by the Monitor. "Their worship at the altar of tax cuts for the wealthy is unbecoming to the vast majority of hard-working families.”

O'Malley also charged that “Republicans in Congress, driven ... by a concerted group, have decided that it is not in their party’s political interest to have the president succeed in creating any jobs." He continued, "I believe therefore they will do their very best to deny him any victories that could lead to job creation or a speedier recovery.”

O’Malley was questioned about surveys that show weak poll numbers for the president, even in Democratic states, and that indicate more than 7 out of 10 Americans think the country is on the wrong track.

4. I got it. Let's call it the: "GOP - I Barack Obama had nothing to do with this (I swear) Jobs Bill"

Surely then these sociopaths would have to cooperate...... What am I saying? Of course they fucking won't.
