Rep. Fattah Accuses Republicans of 'Selective Amnesia' on Economy, Security

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA) issues the following statement:

"The anniversary today of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act -- President Obama's hugely significant and effective initiative to reverse the economic mess he inherited -- is a time to reflect on the selective amnesia of his Republican critics. They are quick to absolve former President Bush of any responsibility for a reeling economy despite his budget busting, deficit soaring, don't-tax-the-rich policies. Yet these same Republicans are just as quick to claim that Bush gets total credit for any successes we are achieving now in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan under the tough new security policies instituted by President Obama. Americans need to watch out for these political tricksters. It's a double standard, and they can't be permitted to have it both ways."
