Not Only Lying But Being The REAL Party Of No

We in the conservative ranks have been saying for 1 1/2 years that it was Democrats who were saying no to Republicans, not the other way around but the media and Democrats kept saying it was the Republicans who weren't cooperating. Hmmmm. Now that they've taken a thumping in the recent election, they're beginning to admit what was obvious to anyone not drinking the progressive Kool-Aid nonsense.

MSNBC's First Read reported this today: "From NBC's Chuck todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, Ali Weinberg: To us, the most striking part of President Obama's "60 Minutes" interview was his admission that he and his administration didn't compromise and work with the Republicans. Per Obama's 60 Minutes interview, "In terms of setting the tone and how this town operates, we just didn't pay enough attention to some of the things that we had talked about.""

Well, DUH! They ... Obama and his White House leadership, Pelosi, Reid, and Democrat leadership in general ... ALL promised during the 2008 campaign that they would bring a new spirit of cooperation to DC and would reach across the aisle. They promised(!) openness in all legislation. Thing is they did none of that. In fact, they set a new standard for exactly the opposite. Their two-year tenure has been the most closed and uncooperative reign in memory.

Now, president Obama is admitting that's what they did. So, I ask you, what exactly does that mean regarding his statements for the past 1 1/2 years ... incessant and insistent ... that he, his administration and Democrats in the legislature were NOT doing that? Obviously, they WERE doing that ... even he admits it now. Obviously, they knew they were doing it ... a conscious decision to behave that way. An average American behaving that way in the course of life would be called an arrogant liar and provocateur.

Are those character traits we really want/need in a president and legislative leadership? I'm reluctant to use such descriptors of any president so I'll just close with this: it's behavior unbecoming a president of these United States of America.
