I really hope there's video of this speech by Haley Barbour at the House GOP's annual retreat:

BALTIMORE – Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi is advising Republicans newly in charge of the House that they must keep voters' frustrations with the nation's lagging economy focused on Democrats who still run the Senate and control the White House. Barbour told House Republicans on Friday that they mustn't become arrogant or believe that they are running the government. He says some in the GOP became cocky in 1995 and some asserted President Bill Clinton didn't matter.

So not only does Barbour want Republicans to pretend like they didn't just recapture control of the House, not only does he first and foremost want to play the blame game, but he obviously doesn't think Republicans have any responsibility to actually work with Democrats to get something done that might actually improve the economy. Instead, he'd rather see things get worse, so the GOP can retake the White House in 2012...preferably with him at the top of the ticket.
