So, how do I put this tactfully? Awe forget it, there is no way to put this tactfully. Obama got his ass handed to him on a silver platter Tuesday. At his news conference the next day he looked like a wet puppy dog standing in the rain that just got struck by lightning. The correspondent from Fox News looked happier then Glenn Beck does after he pleasures himself to a photo of Sarah Palin. The Republicans, the Tea Party, Fox News, they did it, so go ahead guys gloat, no really it’s ok, I understand. After all you did get your asses handed to you two years ago and we did plenty of gloating at that time, so go ahead, I’ll wait………Are you done? Good, now shut the fuck up because here’s the deal. You didn’t win. I know what you are saying to yourself. “What, are you on crack Brian? We won the house. Nancy Pelosi is out, we run things now. The people spoke and the people told Obama NO! This was a direct repudiation of Obama’s reckless policies! We are taking this country back! How’s that hopey changy thing working for you now!? Palin for President, Palin for President! WE WON!” Let me say this again, You…didn’t…win. Oh sure, you took the house, but you didn’t win.
One of my favorite shows is The Apprentice. Inevitably on each season there are one or two people who do nothing but complain. They are no help to the team, and think they know everything and week after week they skate by while someone else takes the fall. Then comes the week when it’s their turn to step up to the plate and be project manager, and prove that they know better than everyone else, and prove that they are not all talk, and nine out of ten times, when the task is over, when the talking is finished, when they get to the board room, they lose, and The Donald says to them those two words that no one in that board room ever wants to hear, “You’re Fired.” You see, while it may seem like the Republicans won, what happened on Tuesday was actually the best of scenarios for President Obama and the Democrats because now the Republicans have power. And the Republican and Tea Party candidates who got elected, who vowed to take back this country can no longer simply blame President Obama and the Democrats for the issues that face this country. The Republicans can no longer just sit back and say “no” to every initiative that the President tries to push through. It’s easy to let the President take the fall for all of the issues facing our nation when you have no power to do anything about it, but now the Republicans have the power and with power comes responsibility, and with responsibility comes accountability… (To Read More Click Here)
