More Hope and Change…
Let’s see… He said the Republican’s health plan was to “die quickly.” When asked about Dick Cheney he said, “I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking.” He said this about the GOP, “They probably wish that there was a Nobel Prize for fear, a Nobel prize for hatred, a Nobel prize for racism.” He compared the GOP health care plan to the Holocaust and 9-11.
And, of course, he’s calling female officials “whores.”
But, that didn’t stop Barack Obama from praising Congressman Grayson last night at a Florida fundraiser.
The Politico reported:
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is drawing criticism from his congressional colleagues, but President Obama offered him some warm words at a Miami fundraiser for the Democratic congressional campaign committees last night.
Obama, in introducing the members of Congress in attendance, called Grayson – along with Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Kendrick Meek – as “outstanding members of Congress.”
Obama may regret his praise of Grayson, who is now drawing fire from members in both parties for referring to Linda Robertson, the adviser to Obama’s Fed Chief Ben Bernanke as a “K Street whore” in a radio interview last month. And he’s received national attention for equating GOP opposition to the Democrats’ health care plan to wanting sick seniors to “die quickly.”

Conservatives should really start hitting hard on the ugly undercurrent of mysogeny often exhibited by many on the left, INCLUDING Obama. Obama, after all, twice on the campaign trail last year referred to female reporters as “sweety”, incidents which were swept under the rug by his adoring media lapdogs. Imagine what would have happened if McCain or any other Republican had done this.

If only Obama and the Demo-k-rats were capable of shame…..

Obama has never had a friend with any class.
How would Obama know what class is.

Pfft….any praise from Obama would make me throw up on the spot. I’d rather he hate my guts.

Speaking of Bambi. Have you ever wondered what his face looked like when he was bowing to Abdullah? You know when he… “dropped something”. Well wonder no longer. Bambi apparently has a long tradition of bowing to muslims, and not simply muslims, radical muslims. Here is the frontal view. The photo is from here. Make sure to read about his friends around him. Notice the folded lips ready to kiss the hand.

I have to admit, I was critical of GWB for not pushing back on his more vocal and irresponsible critics. I thought he was too genteel in how he handled his own PR, too willing to let smears go unanswered. (And that’s how they treated a big-government Republican — imagine if he’d been a conservative activist!)
Anyway, now that I see how tawdry it looks for a POTUS and his minions to enter the mud-fight, I think GWB had it exactly right. Not that his silence was effective, just that it was least destructive of all options.
Dem strategy is to scorch the earth and then blame someone else for the smoke. What they do is not leadership; they reward (and praise) divisiveness.

To paraphrase James Carville: Drag some pressed chicken sprinkled with C-Notes and more power across Obama’s table and the guy will say just about anything.
Richard of Oregon commented:
He probably wouldn’t have won reelection anyway. But now, he’s just an embarrassment to the Democrats. I hope he keeps talking.
Dante commented:
Either Obama is an idiot or hes….no. Hes an idiot. Why would be praise this guy after what hes said? Its beyond reason.
Kenny Solomon commented:
“Outstanding” commentary from an “outstanding” POTUS.
Gotta give one thing to our Dictator In Training Pants: At least he’s consistent.
Keep it up O-Bee-I-Won-Kenyabi….. Keep it up.

I guess libs would be the experts on all things whorish. After all, they’ve been whoring themselves out to the world for decades in hopes of a pat on the head.
MagicalPat commented:
Maybe Obama can kill two birds with one stone and take the ‘K Street Whore’ golfing with the all boys club.

Keep f-ing that chicken, Barack!

Who wants to bet NOW stays silent on this one. If Obama golfs with a woman twice a year it shuts them up. Such a principled group of women there at NOW.

Obsessed with a congressman from Florida. I love this. What time does the next Grayson Post come out? Grayson pundit.com might be open.
HE doesn’t have a challenger yet people! 2010 elections one year from now and they are thinking of moving a candidate in to go against him. A couple have already dropped out. Point is, they are scared.
Three party system coming up. Fringe nuts that hold tea parties, Regan republicans and Dems. Split the fear mongering pro war crowd in half right now!

“Why does that picture keep showing up on here?”
Why do you keep showing up here? Just to be a jerk, right? Right.
Ban the troll, it adds no value to this blog.

Awww, it looks like the troll’s comments are being deleted.
Gee, do you think the moron will figure it out?

Too bad there is zero interest in running against Grayson.
TQ commented:
Incompetancy and crackpots recognize their own-just like a fox can smell his own kind.
I hope Grayson continues with this. He’s digging a hole to China with his mouth. Oh my, The Democrats are so screwed come next election.I am surprised that his collegues have not called for a mental health hearing. His constituents should

You should know better than to drink and post, marty. It makes you look even more like an idiot – and substancially less manly.

I like your gravatar, marty. Self-portrait?
It captures the essential youness of you.
Nadadhimmi commented:
I can’t stand this moron, this disgusting pos, but I think he was describing Washington lobbyists in general as whores, not this one particular woman as an actual prostitute. I would have to agree with Grayson on this one point. K St. lobbyists ARE political whores. Just as the majority of the msm ARE presstitutes. Just because he is a sickening liberal doesn’t mean he can’t be correct on this issue.
Amy Proctor commented:
When’s the next election in Florida? Those Floridians need to WAKE UP and vote this dolt out of office.
His claim to fame is insulting Republicans and going in Rachael Maddow and Keith Overbite. He’s not even a good politician, just a flame thrower.
Stephen commented:
“He’s not even a good politician, just a flame thrower.”
According to my father, a Vietnam vet, the average life expectancy of a flamethrower was 8 seconds.
Joe commented:
Personally, I think all DC politicians are “K Street Whores”. ESPECIALLY Obama!
I may be proven wrong with a little investigation, but, from all indications, it looks like Grayson could be clean enough as far as corporate donations go to be able to call other politicians “K Street Whores”.
Joe commented:
“Childrens names Skye, Star, Sage, Storm and Stone”
I like those names better than Track, Trig, bristol, piper and whatever the F her other kid’s name is.
MAUREN commented:
Luckily I live in Orlando,Fl and can voted against this nasty piece of garbage. He is a smug and vicious RICH man who President Obama should have had the good sense to shun.
