Whoops: Obama Thanks ‘Mike’ McConnell

If you’re a Democratic president pledging to work hand-in-hand with Republicans across the political aisle, it might help to remember the name of the GOP’s Senate leader, MITCH McConnell.  (via Politico)

    Goes to show someone else is running the show, and he is just a puppet losing his eye sight. Michele seems to of caught the mistake. Obama has no respect for any Repub, so whats the use in learning their names.

    Oh he has certainly moved closer to governing from the middle as most liberal presidents find themselves doing after a trouncing at the midterms. Keep up the pressure people, this is not over by a long shot.

    On the plan itself. It won’t work and just puts off the inevitable. We are headed for a crash and burn around 2012 or during the presidential transition (if there is one). Which I predict there will not be one as this Houdini will get himself relected. If it crashes prior to 2012 then he can squarely blame the hostage takers (for making him do it) and take further actions to consolidate more power. The next two years will be the most dangerous period we will live through in modern times. Just a hunch.

      Well, to use an arbitrary cutoff point like the media, let’s say the cuts to the $250,000+ tax brackets. I would argue if you’re still making a quarter million dollars a year, you’re not terribly in need.

      MEECHEELES FOOD PROGRAM IS A LIE….the point is not to feed the kids. The point is to spend zillions more on importing food from other countries. RE-DISTRIBUTION of American money to buy food from foreign countries to support their economy. Most US fruit and vegetables are IMPORTED from other countries. America apparently cannot grow food, and after the passage of the new Food Bill we will be allowed to grow less. THIS IS ALL A LIE……..LOOK BEHIND THE SMOKE…..
