Republicans: Forget Jobs-Lets Focus On "Embarrassing The President"

[NoNukes]

Flawed premise.
The President needs no help embarassing himself.

Ah come on - there is only one with that distinction. He holds exclusive title as the President who embarrassed himself at every opportunity in every corner of the world without the assistance from anyone and his name, like some other stuff, will live in infamy. But his initials are GWB.

I guess bowing to foreign leaders is not embarrassing to those on the left.

Not if it is proper diplomatically. Bush senior vomited on a foreign leader, another Bush making us proud.

Or the Right!

He was only checking to make sure his fly was not open.

The majority of Americans do not share the Tea party's vision for America.

Only 20 % support the Tea party's views.

Well, let's see...I think we can agree that the Tea Party wants to shrink the size of the Federal Government. How many Americans do you think support that view? A recent Rasmussan poll found this:

"Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Likely U.S. Voters think that thoughtful spending cuts should be considered in every program of the federal government as the nation searches for solutions to the budget crisis. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 22% of voters are opposed to considering cuts in every government program. Eleven percent (11%) are undecided."

Little higher than 20%?

Perhaps what you should have said was that only 20% support all of the Tea Party's views...hardly surprising when you take into account that the Tea Party is a collection of dozens of small groups with different views and political aspirations.

On many issues a majority of the American people are in agreement with the Tea Party. Progressives always want to highlight some of the most extreme views of some Tea Party people and accuse all Tea Party people of being of a like mind. Sorry, but that's not a truthful presentation of facts.

Only 20% support the Tea Party.

What's embarrassing here?

Bush falls on bike ride

WHITE HOUSE
May 22, 2004|From Dana Bash CNN Washington Bureau

• 

President Bush fell off his bicycle Saturday while riding on his ranch, according to White House spokesman Trent Duffy.
Bush, who was accompanied on his bike ride by his doctor, Richard Tubb, a military agent and a member of the Secret Service, fell about 16 miles into a 17-mile ride.
Bush suffered minor abrasions to his chin, upper lip, nose, right hand and both knees, but was able to ride back home, Duffy said.
Tubb treated the president at the scene. Bush was wearing a helmet and a mouth guard when he fell, Duffy said.

Are you sure those injuries weren't sustained when Bush was attacked by a snack product?

 

[Oldstyle]

Yes indeed. I think he is pretty smart. But it's a strange kind of smarts.

He learned early on how to keep his jersey clean and let others do both the heavy lifting and the dirty work. That's his genius. He knows how to lie down with dogs and wake up without anyone seeing his fleas.

He is an expert at climbing the ladder of success without doing anything. If anyone thought he would change that strategy when he took office ......

If you look at his legislative "history" since getting into politics it sums him up quite nicely. Back when he was starting out in Chicago he didn't get a single bill passed until he was taken under the wing of Emile Jones who bragged that he was going to "make" him a US Senator. Jones fed Obama other Democratic lawmaker's bills, letting him add his name to them and take credit for them. In his last year, Obama went from sponsoring zero legislation that passed (over seven years) to sponsoring 26 bills that passed.

The same thing happened once Obama reached the US Senate. Pushed as an "up and coming star" of the Democratic Party after his speech at the Democratic National Convention, he was allowed to attach his name to other people's legislation, piggybacking on their work and getting credit for it.

So is it any wonder that he's waiting on someone else to come up with a plan to get the economy on track? He's been essentially cheating off someone else's test paper for so long that he's unable to think for himself.

Wow. Just wow.


I never saw it laid out quite that way before.



He's smooth, but that doesn't excuse the media and voter malfeasance which let him get by under the radar. There were enough smoking guns. If the media had done their job the stark nakedness of this emperor would have been obvious.

So sad.

Just because someone is a polished speaker does not mean they are qualified to run a company or a country. Barack Obama was a "product" of Emile Jones. The boss of the black Chicago political machine took an unknown with an abysmal record of achievement as a legislator (Obama's "thing" was voting present on any politically dangerous legislation, something that is allowed in Illinois...he did it over 170 times during his career at the State House.) and turned a total nonentity into a United States Senator by basically stealing legislation that other Democratic politicians had worked on for years and giving it to Obama to sponsor.

What's amazing is that topic was never brought out during the campaign by the main stream media. You were told that Obama was the first black President of the Harvard Law Review...You were told that he was responsible for passing major legislation as an Illinois State Senator.

What you weren't told was that Obama got the position as President of the Law Review because the powers that be at Harvard were reeling from accusations by the black community that Harvard discriminated against minority professors and pushed hard for a person of color to be selected as President of the Law Review to bolster their image with minorities. It's worth noting that Barack Obama is the only President of the Law Review in it's history to not publish under his own name "in" the Law Review. He was in essence as "underwhelming" as the President of the Law Review as he was to be as a State Senator and then President of the United States.

The Republicans aren't going to focus on jobs because they don't have a jobs plan that will work,

mainly because since 2010, the president has been going along with their jobs plan.

Have you noticed that President Obama always seems to be "going along" with the jobs plan of someone else? Come on...this is the guy that you told us was brilliant? Kind of begs the question...if he really "is" brilliant...then why does everyone else have to carry the load?

The Republicans control the House. The Democrats control the Senate and the White House. Harry Reid is holding up anything the Republican House sends him and Barack Obama waits with his veto pen. What exactly is it that you think Republicans can do? There was a party that held the White House, the House and the Senate. What did THEY get done while having all that power?

You're an idiot. The GOP got exactly the tax plan they wanted in December 2010, and how's it working? How's the economy doing 8 months later?

The GOP is a failure and oddly enough, Obama has helped them prove that.

Have to say it again - profoundly sad.

Exactly. And actually, I've heard that that number has dropped.

Two people may be in favor of the exact same thing, but if one shows his ass, the other is going to distance. Hence ONLY 20% SUPPORT THE TEA PARTY.

 

[Stephanie]

LOL, you all keep telling yourself that ONLY 20% support the Tea Party. It doesn't really matter.

WHAT MATTERS, is 60% of the People NOW DISAPROVE of this President and his comrades in arms...

see ya all in 2012.....with love, from the Tea Party.

 

[Lakhota]

Mitch McConnell said it almost immediately after Obama swore in, their goal is to make Obama a one-term President. Period. Full-stop. It doesn't matter who get's hurt or how many Americans gets hurt in the process. Even if the entire country burns down, as long as it's on Obama's watch and they can make it stick to him...they are happy.

That's their stated goal.

I don't know how much more evidence any sane and/or thinking person would need to realize this fact.

Amen!

Why do you "Amen!" an incorrect statement?
