    Obama Stumbles? Why the President’s Right to Talk About Bain

    The meme of the day in journo-world is that President Obama has stumbled at the outset of the general election campaign. The evidence for this? Well, uh, there isn’t very much, really–except that a few Democrats have criticized his campaign’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital and that Obama’s fundraising is merely humongous, instead of obscenely humongous. The two phenomena are linked, of course: Obama isn’t getting the usual haul from Wall Street because he has outrageously–outrageously!–tried to regulate the bankers who did so much to crash the economy in 2008. The handful of Democrats squawking are people who either (a) get money from private equity firms or (b) have retired and joined Mondo Casino. But there is another side to this story:

    The janitor sweeps up after Sarah Palin’s Beijing book signing tour as her bus pulls away. He looks back at the props …well crap, she accidentally left Trig behind AGAIN, oops.
    .
    The janitor looks back in discouragement; he thought he had FINALLY swept up all the unsigned Palin books after she left Beijing early, leaving po’ed fans behind in the dust.
    .
    As Hillary speeds away, the janitor sees a stained blue dress abandoned on the red carpet. So that’s where IT finally wound up….

    Hey! I just swept that! If you’re gonna kick Lieberman’s ass, do it in the grass.

  • sacredh

    I can’t believe he’s kissing Michelle out in the open. Then again, it’s not as bad as the reacharound Bush gave the Saudi king last year during the Olympics.

  • sacredh

    OT, I’m still upset/disappointed with the cover and puff piece on Glenn Beck, but I just re-subscribed for 2 more years because I enjoy KT’s threads and especially the “1000 Words” (not to mention Amy’s rips on the church). But PLEASE, no more Beck sh!t unless you expose him for the butt munch that he is.

    Thinking to self:
    .
    You know, I have more in common with President Obama than I thought. I’m the one that has to clean up the mess and I always have to watch my step!

  • sacredh

    BTW, I’m really enjoying JK’s seeing the light about the hypocrisy of the current makeup of the republican party. You earned your cookie Joe.

    On second thought, at least I don’t have to worry about getting killed by some GOP crackpot…

    You gave him another cookie?

    That was mine!

    In my opinion, this comment takes the prize . . .so, so very funny!!!

    Oh no, I’m not spending the rest of my life in moderation. I feel asleep sitting here. Off to bed with my impure thoughts.

  • sacredh

    That should have been “fell asleep”. Goodnight folks.

    If Amy ever drops the F-Bomb, she gets a whole plate plate. My wife made oatmeal cookies last night with chocolate chips and walnuts. I was eating them as fast as they were coming out of the oven. I am the cookie monster.

    I re-upped for the ultra-groovy duffel bag.

    …Hey, I needed a new duffel bag.

    It’s hard to believe, but the media did such a horrible job of covering this trip that people on the right and the left can finally agree on something — the press is full of idiots.

  • deconstructiva

    …sacred, I want to see Amy rip loose with pottymouth language too, same for KT. I’m sure dealing with us every day, let alone with Congress, must drive the Swampwomen to tears (of laughter, fury, or just plain f’ing despair …or all?).

  • deconstructiva

    Thanks, KT. Actually, this is the wrong photo for the China trip. THIS photo is back in DC at the Capitol. A worker is preparing the red carpet for Joe Lieberman’s grand entrance into the Senate for his vote.
    .
    …or maybe this is for Landrieu. $100M can buy a really posh wardrobe and a red runner on the Senate steps made from the finest Chinese silk. Compared to this, Sarah’s RNC wardrobe was bought at Walmart.
    .
    The janitor is prepping the red carpet for the cameras and Senators’ arrival for the HC vote. He turns around to see the four Swampwomen running up the carpet, giggling with delight, and seizing the chance to finally enter the Capitol via the red carpet. Alas, the janitor is too slow and stupid to get out of their way. The next photo would’ve shown an unconscious janitor lying prone on the steps, a broken broom, and a red high heel left behind. Alas, the High Sheriffs yanked this from the blog….

  • deconstructiva

    As the janitor cleans up after Bo following Bo’s entrance into the Great Hall, he looks back at the local crowd of Bo’s fans: shar peis, shih tzus, pekingeses, chows, etc.
    .
    As the janitor looks back, this photo was taken immediately before Hillary grabbed the red carpet at the bottom of the steps and yanked hard. The next photo – of the taut carpet sending the janitor flying into the air – was removed from the WH Photo Blog, alas. KT, could you please speak to the High Sheriffs to restore this photo? Thank you!
    .
    (ok, halftime’s over…. but hopefully none of the Swampwomen are stuck in the Senate chambers today covering debates or pulling teeth, I mean, prying leaked info. from sources.)

    grape_crush: You got a duffel bag? My grandnephew ws selling magazine subscriptions through school to raise money for his class. He gets a glow in the dark t-shirt. I got 112 weeks for $37.

  • sacredh

    OT, but I went to see 2012. Good grief! It was silly. But watching St. Peter’s fall and crush thousands of worshippers was a real hoot. Somebody in the back yelled “So much for the power of prayer”. I’m sorry if I offended anyone.
