I don't like Obama, but this is really fucking stupid.
It's par for the course..GOPers have entered the lampooning stage of their attack on Obama.
Their game plan never changes, first they find some thread to attack their Demo opponent on his perceived strength (Obama speaking, speeches/ teleprompter thing), (Kerry it was war hero), then muddy the water with as much nonsense as they can knowing much of it will stick regardless how nonsensical, then they lampoon the guy to make it untenable for his supporters to support him.
Week kneed Demos and wishy-washy Indies go for it all the time...it's pretty amazing how that gimmick continues to work....
The thing is...if Demos ever climbed down off of their high horses from time to time and actually beat GOPers to the punch for a change, make them live by their own phony standards ocassionally, they wouldn't sit around wondering how they continue to lose to these clowns.
For example, if Demos were so inclined they could have made an entire 52 card deck of bingo cards from the Bush follies.
So Demos won both house of Congress and the presidency...How could they not after GWB???
But in a year and a half of Obama's presidency Demos are ready to cede control back to GOPers in congress?? To play obstructionists at best, at worst try and impeach him for nonsense. That's not a net win for Demos it's a loss....
Especially when you consider in the worst economy since the depression GOPers are winning in the minds of Americans with no ideas but "no".
Here's a wonderful exercise to play with GOPers. Since they say Obama and Congress are failing. What exactly would they have done differently?
Well, the record shows they don't support the stimulus (including hundreds of billions in tax cuts) so would they have been in favor of a president doing? Nothing?
They can't fall back on the flawed argument of Reagan cut taxes because with his tax cuts the top marginal rate today is already 15 pct lower now than what Reagan cut it to.
Cut spending? The biggest deficit expenditures were the Bush era tax "cuts" and Bush era war or terra...both of which they supported...
Would exactly would the NOPers have done different...the only answer could is they wouldn't have done anything.
