Dirty Bird In The Mirror

“GOP Accusation Confirmed: Obama Out to Break It.” That is the headline for Jennifer Rubin’s article in the Washington Post. But she is one of those factually challenged right wingers who accuses Obama and the Democrats of doing whatever the Republicans are doing. A more accurate description of what is happening would be “Democrats accusation confirmed: Republicans out to fake it.” Here you have the Republican Party’s leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, saying that the primary goal of his party is to make Obama a one-term president. In pursuit of that goal, the Republicans used the filibuster so often that Senator McConnell even boasted about it now taking a super majority to pass anything. At worst, President Obama is merely defending himself. At best, he is defending the nation against outrageous attacks on its credit and prosperity.

The Republicans lost the last elections because they chose to ignore the polls showing that a majority of the people disagreed with GOP’s obstructionist tactics and failed economic policies. The Republicans are still ignoring those polls and are accusing Obama of trying to destroy them by pointing that out. Their attempts to put an Obama mask on the mirror image of the dirty bird they are fighting did not work during the last election and it will not work now!
