Doc Utopia is a filthy lying sack of shit.
Speaking at the Democratic National Committee winter meeting at the Capitol Hilton in snow-drenched Washington today, President Obama touted new figures from the Labor Department showing a 0.3 percent decrease in the unemployment rate and took a few shots at former President Bush.
Faced with mounting national opposition to his party’s platform, the president reminded voters the real reason the trillion-dollar stimulus package still hasn’t reduced unemployment to 8 percent as promised: Bush did it, and it’ll take a lot of time to undo it.
“The country cannot return to the “dereliction of duty that helped deliver this recession,” Obama said. He added that the previous administration’s role in the economic meltdown was the “real outrage.”
This economy is very much his fault and his irresponsible habit of blaming Bush won’t help. He owns it.
Rat Bastard.

“Unemployment numbers” have dropped due to monkeying with the books. I don’t think this game is going to do them any good at all. There are simply too many real people out of real jobs – the pendulum has swung too far and games are not going to fool anyone. Or at least not going to fool enough people. The beast has been not only stirred but shaken and the beast is pissed. The fools who elected this inexperienced, ignorant, ideolog (Yes, Barry, you are an ideolog) with no idea how the real world works – are beginning to realize they have put a dangerously useful idiot into office. The empty words coming from the empty suit ring hollow to many of them now, as well as with us.
In happier news, DC is shut down by snow. Can you think of a better town to be shut down? Thank the lord for small favors.

It’s poetic justice.

Sheesh… you’d think he’d get tired of singing the same fucking song.

You’d think…

Hmmm…could the minuscule drop in unemployment numbers have been due to an increase in retail jobs over the holiday season? Jobs that will now be gone?
If the only leadership ability you have is to blame others, you couldn’t even lead yourself out of a paper bag. A sound leader may lay the blame once, and then bite the bullet and do what it takes to REALLY lead.
This is all a plenary of piss-poor, presidential poop-scooping blame-shifting. When someone grabs the tail and wags the dog hard enough, the wagger eventually gets shit on. I’m one bitch who is raising a stink…Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts voters have been raising a stink. We Americans are ‘dog-tired’ of being shit on and being told that it’s chocolate. Only this time, we’re going to ‘bite’ back and put those ‘dog-abusers’ out of office. Dogs are noble and loyal animals…much better than the current White House ‘no dog shit on my lawn or I’ll sue you’ nincompoops that are biting the hand that feeds them.
And guess what…I haven’t had my rabies shot. Heh.

I haven’t had my rabies shot
Me either.

Okay…off my rant.
Shorter version:

His only talent is standing there with his chin lifted just so and reading words he sometimes cannot pronounce in that melodious baritone. There is more and more question if he knows what many of those words mean.
The good news is that he is leading the destruction of the Dem majority. The bad news is that he is destroying the sane Dems, the frothing at the mouth Donks like Pelosi and Frank are in districts where if the ghosts of Vlad Lenin and Chairman Mao ran, they’d be defeated because they’re too far to the right. The coming Donk bloodbath in the elections will not force the leadership back toward the center, they’ll think all these coming Republican and Teaparty victories will be because those defeated Dems were not far enough to the left.
I reckon we can only work to defeat as many as possible in the elections and then…

It’ll swing our way again and then in four or eight years, their way. We just need enough time to undo the horrific bullshit Doc Utopia has unleashed.

Interestingly enough, last night’s photography group meeting had innumerable references to Mr. Teleprompter and other such slanderous monikers. It was refreshing. Especially in a state where we have the Majority leader.
Oh, the tide is turning. Yep yep. It kind of feels good to see the sway.

…as long as it doesn’t swing back…
