Don't forget 'Our only goal is to make Obama a one term president' McConnell.
It's all about keeping the public from realizing how badly they're fucking up the country.
Well, a lot of the public, but not all.
108 jobs bills...poof. Ten alone in the past few months, I believe, never saw the light of day. What a great grift.
Kell and I have that working theory of why Obama is so placating and bi-partisan. There's things he'll go for with steam rollers on, like terrorists. Repubs tried to spin the living shit out of that one, but at the end of the day...they really can't get the traction they want on, "My God, he's killing to many terrorists!" Even the die hard baggers and repubs can't really argue with that. "Ummm, ok guys, let's just drop that. Which asshole tried to convince us THAT talking point was a good one?"
Then, we have...everything else. I fully believe Obama is quite aware of what would happen if he went balls to the wall...went all straight up Teddy or FDR. The already tenuous divide that was created, the second he entered the sole domain of the all whites president's club, as the first Black president, would completely explode. As our evidence...is the exact opposite of reality being preferred...or at least being fought for with surprising support. Logic can take a seat, while they burn everything down around Obama, and blame him for the ashes, so he doesn't see a second term.
Seven times during Bushs' admin, he asked for the debt ceiling to be raised and 7 times he got it. Not a peep. The new guy has the maxed out credit card now, so...it's his fault! The debt ceiling IS recockulously high, no getting around it. We CAN fix this, Obama CAN fix this and is apparently ready to step up to the plate with some surreal choices, that no one...even the GOP...thought he'd tread into. Their reaction? They shit. They shit all over themselves. They don't have a game plan beyond what they thought could never, would never happen. They're fuckin flummoxed and have nothing...nothing. They're scrambling like hell and they still can't bring anything else to the table except the baggers steadfast talking point...no tax increase. Except it's not a tax increase, it's an end to a 12 year holiday, 3 to 4 percent...on those few who enjoyed it...not the majority of Americans.
So, if you're gonna force grandmaw to eat even more catfood, and ole crippled joe might have to roll around on a skateboard instead of a wheelchair...and little billy will just have to quit growing so those hand me downs can last another year or two...it's looks awfully fuckin bad when dear ole mom and dad keep justifying not changing one single friggin thing in their personal expenditures to ease that burden just a tad. Nothing crazy...just a bit.
