For Obama, the only good news is bad news

The Obama campaign wanted “horrific headlines out of Wall Street” in the wake of a series of weekend banking failures, according to CNN’s Candy Crowley, speaking on Monday’s edition of ”Anderson Cooper 360.”  This is too unbelievable. 

Here is the actual transcript:

COOPER:  You anticipate, in the days ahead, issue number one, it’s going to be front and center?

CROWLEY: Oh, absolutely. I mean, listen, just as foreclosures were showing up on B-17, or in the real estate section, along comes this horrific headline out of Wall Street…. this is what they wanted. They believe, of course, that the economy is one of their strengths and that they can paint John McCain as George Bush.
