The Big Kiss Off or Double Down

Things seem to be getting tougher for our leader. I sense a "leadership" moment coming shortly where he will abandon Pelosi and Reid for the good of the country and because he is above partisan wankery.

 

I wonder how Reid and Pelosi will react when they get the Rev Wright treatment.

Obama's [Chicago] instincts around compromise and deal-making where nothing is sacred is totally inappropriate in today's Washington. He should have come out of the gate scorched-earth on the republicans instead of attempting to cut deals with them which has been to their advantage every time by allowing them to frame the debate. Hillary would have cut their balls off day one and been making them eat them right now. Clueless.

Hillary tried that once and cost her husband all of congress and a lot of political capital. Guess someone else is clueless.

She simply made the same mistake then that Obama has been making for two and half years - she tried to talk with republicans. It's a pointless task and now she knows better; had she been president she wouldn't have wasted a single breath on republicans, she would have just kicked their asses having seen their true colors from that attempt.

'Not so sure that Madame Secretary would be having the Looney Party for lunch right now either, but she would probably be putting up a better fight.

 

"for the good of the country"

 

Yeah, let's try Ronnie's lame old sucker game again. Cut taxes for the richest Americans, screw the bottom half, outsource the middle class, and destroy the public sector. Morning in America.

 

Bullshit then, bullshit now.
