Politico’s Glenn Thrush ponders the fate of a Republican who would credit President Obama’s policies for positive economic news:
What would happen to a GOPer who said, for instance, that Obama had a tiny bit to do with these employment gains? Why is that impermissible?
— Glenn Thrush (@GlennThrush) March 6, 2015
Bask in the assumption that actions Obama has taken in office have helped instead of hindered the economy, and GOPers can’t admit that because they’d pay a political price within their own party.
Thrush was asked for some clarification:

Well, Obama does seem to have a hand in coaxing some in the press to help keep the straw man gainfully employed, so we’ve got that going for us.
@GlennThrush What would happen to a GOPer who said Obama had a tiny bit to do with these employment gains?
–> He'd be asked for evidence

@GlennThrush You're right. Obamas leadership has resulted in 62.8% labor participation rate. http://t.co/2weK78HKQC ya got me

@Matthops82 @GlennThrush Because they are too busy surrendering to Obama. The GOP has become France.

My business has gone from 0 to 25 jobs since 2010. Market opportunity drove results, government is a constant impediment. @GlennThrush
