Dear House Republicans...

I know you enjoy incorrectly citing the president's economic adviser to tout the illusory benefits of more tax cuts. And hey, I can see the allure of making tax cracks about Daschle and Geithner.

But why use the same dubious talking point in a letter to the president today? Courtesy of Roll Call, I notice that you told Obama how you:

presented a plan that would create more than twice that number [of jobs] based on research conducted by [the] nominee to chair the Council of Economic Advisors, Dr. Christina Romer

Obama still has a BlackBerry, guys. He can find out that this is bogus in less than a minute.

Love, Elana

this is bogus

One would hope he knows this absent web access...

On the other hand, why is Romer herself not up in the Repugnants' faces, both by way of hearing testimony (there must be a quorum of legislators assembled somewhere, even as we speak) and as a talk show bookee.

I'm guessing the White House has someone who books talk shows for appropriate admin spokespersons.

Becuase truth does not matter to the Rs. The letter is for the media to report and repeat.

Obama is starting to fight back. I hope it's not too late.
