I read this article with interest.
Well, that’s not entirely accurate. I mean, I was interested, but mostly I was shake-my-head-bewildered by it.
Obama met with his Democratic homies yesterday to catch up and chat with them about expectations post Massachusetts Miracle. Choice quotes are as follows:
“We still have to lead.”
“I hope we don’t lose sight of why we’re here. We’ve got to finish the job on health care. We’ve got to finish the job on financial regulatory reform. We’ve got to finish the job, even though it’s hard.”
“If anybody is searching for a lesson from Massachusetts, I promise you the answer is not to do nothing.”
“Just keep pushing. I know these are tough times to hold public office. I’m there in the arena with you.”
So, in essence, screw those pesky citizens who’ve been doing anything and everything they can think of to scream their opposition to your grow-government agenda. They don’t matter. What matters is that we plow ahead with our own interests, and hopefully in the process we can get Republicans to agree with us. And if they don’t, we’ll just “call them out when they say they want to work with us, and we extend a hand and get a fist in return.”
Good plan, Barry. You know what else you should do? You should have Keith Olbermann call Republicans more names on his show. Then you’ll REALLY be golden.
GAWD.
That is exactly how I have felt since they first announced that Scott Brown won. I have felt like the whole Obama Administration has said
“eh, who cares? We don’t give a flying (explitive) what the American public thinks if it goes against what we think! Scott Brown means nothing to us, and the reason he was voted in means nothing to us! Eff you America, especially you pesky Republicans!”
This just goes to prove that point.
The emperor has no clothes as he continually talks out of both sides of his mouth. Compare his rhetoric to the GOP, and his rhetoric to the Democrats side by side.
you think this is bad?
he can’t pronounce words properly either!

why don’t his handlers go over things like this before he opens his yap?
Well, to be honest…Brown’s victory is certainly symbolic and perhaps it’s a bad harbinger for the Dems. But–they still hold the majority thanks to the voters, and until they are voted out they ARE expected to legislate. They just have to do a better job
