Obama Proposal To Sell TVA Blasted By Republicans

58. this would be idiotic on a couple of levels. Most obviously, the GOP could take yes for an answer

Almost as obviously, most people will never see the "strateregy" behind this and just remember Obama wanted to sell the TVA, cut Social Security, and whatever else Wall Street dictates, even if he eventually changes course or that isn't the outcome.

People remember the shocking headline not the correction on page 23.

Case in point: I was talking to my students about the Boston bombing and someone mention the Olympic bombing and said, "Didn't that security guard do it?"

In fact, he found the bomb, and the media decided he was the prime suspect, but it turned out it was some anti-abortion guy.

But by then, most people weren't paying attention, so someone who was actually a hero remained a scapegoat in the minds of most who remembered the story at all.

Obama is essentially doing the same thing to himself by proposing destructive, failed conservative policies.
