When Bush was in office, Republicans claimed they were doing good, but now that Obama is in office they claim they are doing good still but Obama has tanked the economy. What's going on?
The way to bridge this seeming contradiction is by looking at it this way. The Republicans may now be saying they are doing good still while Obama is in office but few people believe them anymore and their popularity is not going up as a result of their claims.
It seems to me the Republicans are great at shooting themselves on the foot and that is good for the country, good for Obama and good for the Republicans in so far as they discovered a way to allow themselves to feel good about themselves even if the rest of the country doesn't take them seriously anymore.
That skill of doing good at every level and pleasing oneself by hurting oneself which the Republicans so amply possess at the moment should be highly commended :)
