Please! This Is Flim-Flammery, Mr. President
From TPM:
Obama meets this afternoon with the entire Republican conference. "I think what our big moves will be today are to ask the President to help us. Help us make this plan better so that it will put Americans back to work," said Boehner before the meeting.
House Republicans have worked closely with Obama while the plan has been crafted, but have complained that House Democrats have been less open to their ideas than has the president.
In the recent election, the people of the country made it quite clear that they do not want a continuation of the policies of the Bush maladministration and the Republicans in Congress. The problem is not the Democrats, Mr. President. The problem is congress critters like Mitch McConnell and his cohorts. You won by a landslide, Mr. President. Listen politely to the Republicans, and then do the right thing, Mr. President. Please! We're counting on you.

Indeed, we must be thankful that they only schrewed up regally...
ReplyDelete(and nothing worse).
Göran, I suppose it could have been worse, but they made a royal mess. Obama with his talk of bipartisanship makes me a little nervous. I'm concerned that he will take some of the Republicans' cockamamie ideas seriously.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot abide that McConnell. He looks so creepy!
ReplyDeleteSusan, he is. And he's not the only creepy one. Boehner is another. And there are more.
ReplyDeleteWould someone please tell Boehner, McConnell et al. that they LOST and remind President Obama that he won. (I just love writing President Obama.)
ReplyDeleteUeber-g, President Obama spelled it out to the Republicans, saying in a joking way that was no joke, "I won."
