GIVE ME A BREAK! It never ceases to amaze me just how flipping gullible our Republican members of the Senate continue to be. I'm getting so freaking tired of these guys' willingness to keep taking it in the a** I just want to scream! The most recent example of this namby-pamby mentality came from Tom Coburn who went on NBC's "Meet the Press," yesterday and actually said that Barry "Almighty" "is moving in the right direction" by meeting with Republicans in search of bipartisan solutions to the nation's problems: "I'm proud of him for doing it, but it shouldn't be news." Hey Tom, he's playing you like an old Stradivarius! Wake up and smell the BULLSHIT!
You see, old Tom, here, was one of those 12 morons who saw fit to wine and dine with Barry at some swanky, high-dollar, restaurant only last Wednesday. He went on to say, "I think he gets it, and I think he's genuinely reaching out." Me thinks old Tom might have had a touch too much wine, or something! Because then he said, "I think the president is tremendously sincere. I don't think this is just a political change in tactic. I think he actually would like to solve the problems of the country, and it would be to his benefit and, certainly, to every American's benefit if he did that." Come on, really? Man, these guys are dead, they just don't know it yet!
Old Tom also said during this same interview, that if Barry were to quit poking his finger in Republicans' eyes and start building relationships with them, "I think he's got a great chance to accomplish a big deal." Blah, blah, blah. Barry only wants to "build relationships" with Republicans just long enough to convince them to bend over so he can put it to them again. I just don't get it! It's absolutely infuriating! Look, even a complete imbecile should be able to fully recognize the fact that Berry derives a great deal of pleasure from poking his finger in Republicans' eyes by essentially blaming everything that has gone wrong in the last 4 years, on them.
Coburn also told NBC's David 'The Douche Bag' Gregory that the problem in Washington isn't disagreement, it's too much agreement: "So, look, the real problem, David, is Washington is dysfunctional, but it's dysfunctional in a dysfunctional way. Members of Congress and the administration agree on too much: We agree on spending money we don't have; we agree on not oversighting the programs that should be oversighted. We agree on continuing to spend money on programs that don't work or are ineffective." Frankly I'm nit sure what old Tom is trying to say here. If everyone's agreeing on the same crap, who are we supposed to count on to oppose any of it?
As for last week's meeting with Barry, Coburn said he learned that the president is going to start explaining to the American people about entitlement reform: "I mean, we all know you put in $1 for Medicare and get out $3.30. We understand that. But nobody has ever talked to the American public about that, and nobody has led on that issue as far as our president wanting to change it." Right Tom, if you believe any of that I've got some prime ocean view property in Arizona I could let you have really, really cheap. I'll even throw in the Grand Canyon cause you're a nice guy. The only thing Barry is going to be saying about entitlements is that the Republicans want to take them away!
And then over on ABC’s "This Week," with George "Stefy" Stephanopoulos, we Sen. Ron Johnson say he thinks "most Republicans are more than willing to work with this president." Ok, maybe that's true, but the only thing that Barry wants to do to them is to knife them in the back. And yet, that thought never really seem to enter their little pea brains! He also said that the Republican senators' dinner meeting with Obama last week was honest, frank and complete. "President Obama opened it up, really prioritizing the problems. Certainly, made the point that it's health care, it's Medicare." I'm embarrassed for these guys. Barry seems to have them eating out of his hand.
Johnson added, "The point I made to him is, you know, Mr. President, you are in a unique position to be able to make sure the American people understand that. We're not going to be able to solve these very difficult problems unless we start laying the groundwork and preparing the American people for the solutions." Johnson said he got a call from Barry's chief of staff over the weekend to discuss "what we need to do" to move forward: "So you know, I'll certainly give the president the benefit of the doubt." Sorry, but to give Barry the benefit of the doubt on anything is a mistake that could, very well, prove to be fatal, politically speaking. It's an unnecessary risk.
And then we had some airhead from Bloomberg News, somebody by the name of Julianna Goldman, who also made an appearance with old "Stefy". She attempted to make it quite plain that, at least in her esteemed opinion, in order to achieve what Washington calls a "grand bargain" on deficit reduction, Republicans are going to have to accept higher taxes and Democrats are going to have to accept entitlement reforms. Somebody really needs to sit down and explain to this bimbo that the Republicans have already accepted higher taxes, what's needed now are 'REAL', and substantial, spending cuts and entitlement reforms!
I'll tell you what I'd like to see. And that's for the Republicans to start playing this game the same way Barry and the Democrats play it. Because that's the only way ANYTHING is going to get done. Granted it may be a little painful for a while, but what the Hell is the alternative? This whole entire thing is nothing more than an exercise in complete insanity. I simply cannot believe that these guys are willing to allow themselves to get sucked in yet again, over a meal that was most likely passed on to the taxpayers to cover. What's underway here is nothing more than one monumental snow job, and once again our guys seem to be only too willing to fall for it.
Look, what needs to take place here is that those on our side need to explain to Barry, one more time, what needs to be done and make it clear that they are willing to do whatever is necessary within that framework to get the economy moving again. They also need to make it quite clear that he's had his chance for the last four years and has succeeded in doing nothing more than to make matters much, much worse. And in presenting their own ideas they must also make it clear to the American people that as much as they might wish it were so, America is not a socialist country so therefore socialist attempts to fix it aren't going to work. Oh, and by the way, they’ve never worked ANYWHERE!
