A double-hitter; President Obama hits it out of the ballpark in just a few days.  Don’t tell anyone but I believe that David Plouffe is back advising the President.  It was an energized and offensive Obama at the State of the Union and later at the GOP retreat.  I love it when my guy makes the GOP look like the obstructionists that they are…It was just too great to have a chance to show what a bunch of political opportunists these people are.  I fell all over myself when the GOP speakers gave their talking points and campaign speeches only to be demoralized and out maneuvered by the President. 

I personally feel that we have been polite for far too long.  David Gregory gave it to Boehner today as well.  Just what have you done to reach across the aisle?  Yeah, you said it.  Democrats need to stop being the party of polite and tell it like it is.  Without the Stimulus Package, tax breaks, and intervention, there would be even more unemployment and financial problems. 

Why do the populists think that the GOP will ever be the party for the little guys?  Like the Republicans suddenly had a big epiphany and decided they weren’t capitalists anymore.  Get a grip, tea baggers.  You really think that the party that brought you Right to Work states, support for big oil and union busting is really going to get you a great health care package?

The blue dogs versus the far left; this is just pitiful.  One thing we could learn from our friends on the right is unity.  I don’t hear Boehner bad mouthing Steele.  I say liberals need to get together and stand up for the party, each other and the president.  We will either rise together or go down in pieces.

This blog from one of my Irish friends just had to be published here in Idaho….

The David of the Democrats

            For President Obama to be allowed 90 minutes of national television coverage speaking at the GOP retreat was historic. It was probably one of the dumbest ideas the Republican leadership has ever had.

            In agreeing to a request from the White House to allow cameras to cover the President debating 140 GOP House members through a Q&A process, the GOP displayed gross overconfidence, an underestimation of this President and a totally wrong evaluation of the political implications of recent polls.

            The GOP leadership felt they had Obama’s number in view of recent successes.  They saw this coming together as an opportune time to move in for the political kill – a chance to embarrass Mr Obama, and finish him off in full public view.

            House members of the “Party of No” were salivating in anticipation – the GOP leadership couldn’t wait – they wanted a coup de gras to politically decapitate the leader of the opposition forces.

            Alas for the Republicans, when it was over, only one of the 141 combatants who engaged, was able to depart the scene with his head attached and in the right place. As historians will record and it will be remembered, the battered, demoralized troops of the GOP limped away oozing volumes of political gore, licking their wounds and rueing to all in earshot,” that their original decision was a mistake “.

            On retiring from the field looking like the “David of the Democrats”, the President returned to the Oval office to get on with more challenging work.

            In Baltimore, the GOP was in “retreat”, though not in the way they planned. Written by John Hay “Telling Thoughts”

And all this and the Georgetown game as well.

Peace dear liberals.
