I knew these people were scum when they lied about Bush and refused to fund troops they themselves had voted to send into harm’s way … all so they could win elections. Their lies got them the chance they wanted to be in charge and we have seen what they did with it. Now it is time to skim the scum off the pond and bury it and all the disease ridden mosquitoes it has bred in a deep dark hole.
ALL I CAN SAY IS,’WOW’.I LISTENED TO OBIE’S PRESSER ON THE RADIO YESTERDAY AND I COULD SENSE HE WAS GETTING PISSED.HIS WHOLE LIFE,THINGS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO HIM.NOBODY’S EVER TOLD HIM ‘NO.’
WE FINALLY HAVE SOME REPUBLICANS WITH THE BALLS TO STAND UP TO THIS BUFFOON.I’M CONVINCED BOEHNER WAS READY TO CAVE,BUT CANTOR MUST HAVE CONVINCED HIM DOING SO WOULD COST HIM HIS SPEAKERSHIP.WHATEVER IT WAS,ITS TIME TO CALL HIS BLUFF.
BIDEN FREAKS IN DEFICIT MEETING: ‘C’MON,MAN,LETS GET REAL.’
Back in 2006, Dems said they were the only ones holding the line on Bush’s irresponsible spending.
Now they’re the Party of the Recently Wised Up, Newly Humble and Superlatively Brave!
From Obama’s April 14, 2011 interview with George Stephanopoulos [plus my snarky commentary in red]:
GS: You’ve got to extend the debt limit by May. It seems you made your job a lot tougher because of your vote in the Senate against extending the debt limit. When did you realize that vote was a mistake?
BHO: I think that it’s important to understand the vantage point of a Senator versus the vantage point of a President. … As President, you start realizing, “You know what? We can’t play around with this stuff. This is the full faith in credit of the United States.”
Sooooooo … the People of Illinois elected a dumb, self-centered boy-child to one of the highest offices in the land? Golly. Aren’t we LUCKY that he didn’t stay stuck in that stuffy, vantage-point-limiting job of United States Senator, but became PRESIDENT, so he could finally see The Big Picture and get all smart about this Really Important Economy Stuff?
BHO: And so that was just a example of a new Senator, you know, making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country. And I’m the first one to acknowledge it.
Sooooooo … 5 years ago (and 20 minutes before he decided he was ready to hold the Most Powerful Office on the Planet), he was nothing more than a self-centered, wet-behind-the-ears, iggerant freshman Senator. NOW, of course, what with all his vantage point experience Running the World these past two years, he’s become not only Smarter Than God, but also Humble. Golly.
BHO: Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit for the United States by a trillion dollars. … The burden is going to fall a lot on Democrats in the Senate to make this happen.
Soooooo … yeah. When Republicans were in the majority, Democrats played politics rather than lead. We knew that. BUT it just gives me GOOSE BUMPS ALL OVER to know that now, by GUM, they’re all wiser and better and Ready to Lead … no doubt because there’s a Spiritually Enlightened Being in the White House and the oceans are slowing their rise and America is finally the Kinder, Gentler Nation (never mind that third war). Should we cue some stirring music now?
