This morning as I was finishing my half bagel with cream cheese, I was watching Morning Joe to see how he would try to spin Boehner’s total incompetence. Well, let’s just say he struggled mightily-- trying desperately to make the recalcitrant house nut’s failures Obama’s fault.
So he trotted out the supercon “Peggy-former-speech-writer-for Reagan Noonan” to share her great wisdom on why Obama is such a failure for not getting the debt ceiling raised. Of all people, why bring-in an old throw-back from the 80s with her pompous, looking over her “chain-attached-black-rimmed glasses” self?
Surely there must be something this supercon could say because after all, she was filling the seat of Joe’s last hit man who called the president an um “dick.” Perhaps it was this little nugget from Murdoch’s WSJ rag that sent Morning Joe’s limousines scurrying through the streets of New York to pick up good old Peg. She wrote:
“So he [Obama] is losing a battle in which he had superior forces—the presidency, the U.S. senate. In the process he revealed that his foes have given him too much mystique. He is not a devil, an alien, a socialist. He is a loser. And this is America, where nobody loves a loser.”
What?
Boehner can’t control his own crazy house and Obama is the loser? How does the two go together?
This woman is completely nuts!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
So then, Mika read the “loser” article to tee Peg up to further discuss (in person) why Obama is such a “loser” for not being able to control the crazy tea party that-- uh Boehner can’t coral. Naturally, Joe assisted in this total character assignation of all things Obama—just as he did with Halprein.
Well I’m just sick of it people….I’ve had it!!!
They just sat there—all of them; pretending last night didn’t just happen. As I screamed at the TV, my wife told me to calm down—but she’s like that.
Anyways, after I found a way to start breathing normally, I reflected on a kid without a father in the household—graduating high school-completing an Ivy League education- becoming the first president of the Harvard Law Review—becoming a state senator, professor, then the only black U.S. senator. Then he goes on to become the first black president in our history.
And this tea con nut called him a loser?
That just pissed me off all over again!!
There are hundreds of policy disagreements even I could have with Obama but to get so deeply personal like this just completely pisses me off—especially considering how we got here.
So folks, I’m asking for a favor, let’s fight back by contacting the number/email address listed below to let MSNBC/WSJ to let them know we’re sick of them trotting out these nuts to engage in personal insults against this president.
Thanks.
