Flashback: Obama chief speechwriter gropes HRC Standee; Addition to the No Shit Sherlock FIles- SCOAMF Obama White House full of naif pig frat boys
Who could have guessed this would be the environment of an Obama WH? 20 Million HRC supporters, the GOP at large and anyone with a fxckin clue:
Exhibit A:
Obama Speechwriter Jon Favreau gropes Hillary Standee
Yes who would think these pricks are useless pig naifs?
Exhibit B:
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor and chief speechwriter Jon Favreau partaking in an impromptu, shirtless beer pong match at Old Glory in Georgetown June 2010
The Sword of Damocles Hangs Over Obama’s Head – Support Speaker Boehner’s Debt Ceiling Bill!
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Do I like it? No.
Do I want Cut Cap and Balance? Yes.
Will the Democratically Controlled Senate pass CCB? No, already voted it down.
Will Obama cowboy-up and do a deal for the good of the country like Big Dawg did? Uh, No.
Will the GOP be blamed for the fiasco that follows if we do NOT pass the Boehner bill? Why yes, yes it will.
Will the Reid modifications to the Boehner bill cut the cuts and pump the spending? Of course!
Do we get #BBA votes from the Boehner bill? Yes.
Will Senate Democrats PASS a BBA? Probably not.
Will it help DEFEAT said Senate Democrats up for re-elect in ’12 to force them to vote against a BBA? Hell yes. Every commercial should shout that McCaskill etc voted AGAINST a BALANCED BUDGET.
Are we in a position to make SERIOUS CUTS and/or SERIOUS REFORMS while Obama is POTUS? NO. We saw that in his pathetic response to the Ryan Plan.
Did Speaker Boehner try to do a ‘Grand Bargain’ with Obama? Unfortunately, yes he did. And hopefully he has now LEARNED HIS LESSON. You cannot ‘negotiate’ with the Tabula Rasa.
Does Speaker Boehner’s Plan leave room for another ‘Grand Bargain’ attempt? Yes it does. This is the only way to stave off the S&P, Moody’s downgrade.
(Yeah I know the ratings agencies are a joke, their idiotic Prime ratings on MBS junk loans got us into this mess but that is beside the point. They made it clear if there is a ‘commission’ meeting someplace they won’t downgrade the debt, even if said commission is just another exercise in futility.)
Was Obama ‘selected’ by TPTB TBTF to be the ‘Democratic’ POTUS to gut SS and Medicare? Why yes, that has always been my theory.
So why didn’t he do the ‘Grand Bargain’? Because he is an inexperienced naif who cannot even carry out a ‘signed, sealed, delivered’ bargain when he has the script.
He is Zelig- the chameleon man. He changes to reflect whomever he is with. One meeting with Pelosi and he rolled over on Entitlements without Tax Hikes despite having Geithner there to ‘handle’ him.
Will there be a Grand Bargain while Obama is POTUS? I hope to hell not. If the GOP gives it to him, he will run on it. He wants to be Reagan.
The guy is just what he appears to be: a narcisstic empty suit devoid of any principles. (Webster’s lends a hand- A principle is a general and fundamental truth that may be used in deciding conduct or choice)
With hard work and a little luck he will be the One-Termer the TBTF bought and nothing more.
So how ’bout we push past this latest Obama Leadership Failure, pass the Boehner bill and then work HARD to make SURE the GOP does NOT give Obama any ‘Grand Bargain’ to run on.
Anyone who thinks we are not gonna cut SS, Medicare is really self-deluded or naive at this point. I suggest liberals spend their time working on the House cuz we WILL be doing MAJOR ENTITLEMENT REFORM with the new GOP POTUS in ’13.
I am for the Ryan Plan. Gen X knew we were getting fragged, let’s just go into it eyes open and try to protect our parents and kids from the worst cuts and tax hikes.
Weren’t we told Obama is our Spock? ST II WoK ‘The Needs of the Many’ FILK
Shout out to the brave souls who have stayed behind trying to stop the reactors from melting down~
On the 8th day pre-Christmas Obama gave to me, President Hill-a-ree!
…and in a follow up to giving us 20 mins of President Big Dawg explaining supply side economics, today Obama left the podium to Hillary to explain why we are staying in Af-Pak til ’14.
If he keeps leaving grown ups at the podium, and actually lets them make decisions, since he told business leaders yesterday he is more of a ‘collaborator’ (yeah I totally get that, France WWII, yep I can see it all, cough), anyway, go have a summit and let the actual LEADERS make the tough calls and maybe we can get back on track..
Muuhuuuhaaaa..LOVIN EVERY MINUTE OF IT~
WH and Big Pharma win, consumers lose: RX Reimportation Amendment voted down in Senate by ‘progressive’ Democrats Durbin, Schumer, Kerry, Reid, Burris, Rockefeller…
The SINGLE cost saving item for Americans in this horror show of a health care bill was just killed by the progressive Democratic Senators. Remember come 2010/2012, these Democrats and this WH ARE THE STATUS QUO. No change here. DOZENS of REPUBLICANS votes AYE! Nice commercials for the elections. For those keeping score:
HOUSING: Banks batting a thousand, homeowners a big zero (78B allocated from TARP, 3 million defaults (now 4.8 million), but only 31,000 mods).
HEALTH CARE: Insurers/big Pharma happy as pigs in shxt, American consumers facing higher costs, mandates and no ‘choice and competition’ plus the kick to the deficit.
SMALL BUSINESS LENDING: Again banks laugh at POTUS, Gasparino in the NYPost today reported that Obama schmoozed the bankers when the cameras left. No loans being made, bonuses back on track for the big banks.
EMPLOYMENT: Need we go there? Ginormous stimulus payoff to who? No one knows but it sure as shxt didnt create a million jobs, or even a verifiable half a million jobs.
…Bunches of Democrats have decided to vote against this in the past few roll calls, this is going to be extremely close.
Senators are huddled around the desk tabulating the votes, this is one of those where the outcome is not pre-determined. Dick Durbin has a panicked look on his face.
…A late move toward the no side could deny this the needed 60 votes. They just got Lieberman to vote against it, along with luminaries like Kerry, Schumer, Reid, Durbin, Burris and Rockefeller.
…Lautenberg’s amendment has passed the Senate four separate times. It clearly kills re-importation because we haven’t seen any. This defeat of the Dorgan amendment is simply being done to preserve a corrupt deal.
Yeas 51, nays 48. Dorgan amendment does not pass….
UPDATE from FDL:
…Roll call on the Dorgan Amendment is here. The White House had to line up 31 no votes from the Democratic caucus to kill this….
Obama to recalcitrant Dems: Last Chance for HCR. Reality to Dems: last chance to save your seat
Whatever will the KosKidz do!!??! Suggested slogans for ’10:
Obama lied, the public option died, and the Neoprogs cried, as the Dem Majority Died.
In a provocative argument designed to rescue his foundering health care plan, President Barack Obama will warn Senate Democrats in a White House meeting Tuesday that this is the “last chance” to pass comprehensive reform.
Obama will contend that if it fails now, no other president will attempt it, aides said…
Because in ObamaLand if he cant do it, no one can! You cant stop him he’s the Gingerbead Man POTUS.
Obama Nobel Prize Pick Up Speech underway…
Let’s listen to some Norwegian Wood, the audience looked like slabs of it listening to his Me, Me, Me speech…
I woke up and turned on my tv and there was Obama proclaiming his EXISTENCE as a result of MLK and war and peace somehow..clearly the WH speech writers are either constitutionally (heh) incapable of avoiding a ‘messiah speech’ OR they really are in a bubble and do not understand that proclaiming the life of the greatest civil rights leader in American history as a footnote, a precursor to the birth of the ‘real thing’ ie, Teh Obama who has accomplished nothing but winning an election is just..atrocious IMO, and they do it constantly. Then he congratulated himself for banning torture and closing Gitmo..
As someone who stands here as a direct consequence of Dr. King’s life’s work, I am living testimony to the moral force of non-violence.
