Barney Frank knows a sinking ship when he’s on one. He actually used the word “dumb” while describing President Obama.
The Hill has the money quote:
“President Obama, whom I greatly admire … when the economic recovery bill — we’re supposed to call it the ‘recovery bill,’ not the ‘stimulus’ bill; that’s what the focus groups tell us — he predicted or his aides predicted at the time that if it passed, unemployment would get under 8 percent,” Frank said Tuesday evening during an appearance on the Fox Business Network. “That was a dumb thing to do.”
It was dumb. Remarkably dumb. Perhaps even as dumb, Barney, as admitting on national television that Democrats allow focus groups to craft their message.
