Can anyone tell me what it was that proved to be so beneficial for the country and that came about during a time Democrats held complete control of Congress? Was it Obamacare? Was it the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act? Perhaps it was the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008? Or, was there any attempt made to reduce spending? Or to create jobs? Was anything positive actually done? Anything at all? NOPE! And yet Barry "Almighty" has now said that Republican opposition to, of all things, the debacle that is ObamaCare should actually disqualify them from running either chamber of Congress.
And our community agitator of a president made his insane little argument, claiming that the GOP was on the wrong side of history during, what else but, another recent fundraiser, in, of all places, a Silicon Valley. Barry said to those in attendance, "I can’t explain it, why they’re so obsessed that those folks don’t have health insurance." And our piss-poor excuse for a president went on to say, "But we’re on the right side of history on that issue. But if that’s all they got, then they shouldn’t be running either chamber. They shouldn’t be running the House and they sure should not be running the Senate."
Barry was speaking at his fifth fundraiser in only 24 hours, the last leg of a furious fundraising blitz up and down the California coast. As in previous stops, Barry fretted that the Democrat Party would not turn out for the upcoming 2014 midterm elections. He said, "Democrats have a congenital defect when it comes to our politics and that is we like voting during presidential years and during the midterms we don’t vote." He added, "We’re going to have to make sure that we are coming out with the same urgency and the same enthusiasm that we typically show during presidential years."
Roughly 250 supporters showed up for the event, where tickets ranged between $1,000 and $32,400. According to CBS News’s Mark Knoller, it was Barry’s 19th fundraiser of 2014 and his 57th benefitting Democrat candidates this cycle. Barry has rarely strayed from his core message during the fundraising appeals, although on Thursday night, Barry was driven off-script at least twice. As he was introduced to a Dionne Warwick song, the audience cheered for Barry to sing along. "No, no, no, I’m good," Barry said. "Maybe after the midterms." Let’s hope he has nothing to sing about then.
Barry is nothing if not the quintessential example for why we must have a robust two party system with two viable political parties. Remember too, that it was back when Congress passed LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ that there were Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress. Nothing good ever comes from such a thing. And as much as it pains me to say this, the Republicans didn’t really behave themselves all that well when they had control of both houses when George Bush was president. And if God willing if the Republicans do gain control of both houses this November, they must act as responsible adults.
And as far as I’m concerned, for Barry to come out and advocate that only the Democrat Party is worthy of being entrusted with the running of Congress seems more than just a little arrogant. After all, what do we really have to show from the last time they were in complete control? So his claim just doesn’t make all that much sense. And you’d think for someone who was once a "senior lecturer" on the Constitution at the University of Chicago, he’d have some sort of an idea about how best our system of government works. But then Barry his own rather unique notion of how our government actually supposed to work.
