Nah, nothing to do with Obama’s policies.

On Thursday’s PoliticsNation on MSNBC, during a discussion of Republican resistance to extending unemployment benefits, MSNBC political analyst Goldie Taylor charged that the GOP “almost single-handedly blew up this economy,” and that it was “as if” they “blew up” the “bridge” and then “dared people to cross to the other side of the canyon on their own.”
After host Al Sharpton played several soundbites of Republican elected officials and complained that they “act as though” the unemployed are” dependents, that they’re some kind of beggars,” he turned to Taylor who responded:
“You know, this is a party who almost single-handedly blew up this economy. You know, it’s as if they stuck dynamite on the bridge, blew it up and then dared people to cross to the other side of the canyon on their own. And so, at the end of the day, this is going to hurt them in 2014. It’s going to hurt them in 2016 because you don’t know who your next door neighbor happens to be who might be receiving benefits from the Department of Labor.”
