The Repubs have been in charge for the past 8 years. Things havent gone all that well. They get the credit just as they would get the credit if things were going better.

But the article points out that it had a lot less to do with race than it did money, and I can believe it.

When you wrote;

“You seem completely oblivious to the role of the Republican party in promoting racism in our politics”

And, "McCain's protestations of innocence on race matters ring hollow"

And, "
